About

I am a professional magazine editor with a background is in the specialist weekly magazine market. I am probably the only person to have edited four major specialist weeklies all launched in the Victorian era — Shooting Times, Cage & Aviary Birds, Amateur Photographer and Amateur Gardening. I have also edited a number of monthlies including Decanter and Cycling Active. For ten years I was group editor of Time Inc specialist division and was principally involved in the development and improvement of all brands in the portfolio including Country Life, New Musical Express, Decanter and Horse & Hound as well as a diverse marine and cycling portfolio. This involved audience research, facilitating focus groups and then leading teams through product development to achieve audience needs.

Additional Interests

I am currently working on a book about what it was like to be a teenage roadie for The Stranglers, with 80,000 done, another 80,000 to go but at the moment there is little hope of finding the time to finish! I am also enjoying the challenge of gardening but I guess that is the same for everyone
