With a diversity of media, industry and public sector experience behind her, Jane has an instinctive knowledge of how business works – and what works for business.
As a former PR Director, she has a dynamic track record of building client presence in the media and creating new business-to-business and business-to-customer opportunities. Working across the retail, health, travel and heating sectors, she secured major press coverage for clients, including a full page of Daily Mail editorial for eye surgeons Advance VisionCare and articles in Grand Designs magazine and the Daily Mirror for Heat Mat underfloor heating. She has also written and edited copy for corporate and customer newsletters (for South East Health and Eyesite opticians), brochures, websites and general marketing material.
Before becoming a journalist, Jane was a researcher at the Work Foundation, a management consultant and a new business advisor for the Iwataya department store in Japan. Her articles on management and networking have been published in the Sunday Times and Independent.
