Following another post, I thought it might be a good idea if we all put down our jobs/skills, in case we can help each other out by passing any business to each other!

So far we have:

JANSELL: Publications Designer: newsletters, leaflets, brochures, invitations companies or individuals)

TIGERMOTH: events management and copywriting

MORNINGPAPER (me!): Website design / website consultancy (websites from around £200 per site - billy bargain)

Anyone else?!

Probably says something about me that I find it much easier to 'get' people when I know what they do....

Presently marketing manager for a small technology company, which invents useful bits of kit for the utilties industry. Useful working knowledge of all the tools of the marketing trade, except advertising, really.

Am also ex kitchen porter, ex kennel hand, ex stable lass and ex chartered surveyor (largely in retail development).

Mr Gizmo (or should that be Dr Gizmo) has a PhD in Biotechnology, with an engineering background, and is currently chief technical officer of same small technology company.

Master Gizmo (age 3) is currently applying for funding for his research into advanced Lego structures and on recent form is almost certainly is doomed to a life in engineering .
