ICAEW Resorts To Cold Calling

I see that the ICAEW, despite still bearing an uncanny resemblance to a Victorian trade association, has picked up one of the more irritating "innovations" of the modern world; namely, it has resorted to cold calling.

This morning I received an unsolicited call from someone representing the ICAEW, who tried to sell me a faculty membership. A similar attempt, to sell and Excel course, was made in 2013.

Needless to say I put the phone down!

Be warned, the person said that the ICAEW was calling ALL members, as Della Hudson and Gary McCombe can attest to!
