Welcome
Pryor Knowledge has been an idea for decades, a business name for some thirty years or so, a professional practice on and off for well over twenty and a domain name for nigh on eighteen years.
The Cooke-Pryor family has been around for even longer - since 1976 in fact.
These two intertwined elements now shape the content of this web site.

Visits to Shanghai & Marie Karioti
Courtesy of the good folk at TTG Asia who asked me for a few years to make presentations about association management at their events in Asia I have been fortunate to see the sights of some truly great cities such as Shanghai. Another tradition to arise is the one where I promised to visit my 'Cretan Cousin' in Chania each year. Marie Naxaki Karioti happily and proudly made it to her hundredth year. Over the years I got to spend time with her she helped anchor me in the Cretan landscape and introduced me to many wonderful people who are still firm friends.
