Paul P
Paul is a fiction and non-fiction writer with an extensive professional background in cognitive skills and wellbeing. A personal epiphany in his thirties led him to undertake a series of epic adventures, testing his physical and mental endurance in the wild places of the world.

By consciously placing ourselves at the heart of our own story, we can make sense of chapters gone and shape chapters yet to come.

As Editor-in-Chief of the BBC’s in-house newspaper Ariel, Matt was fortunate enough to meet many luminaries but interviewing the great Sir David Attenborough at the naturalist’s London home for his 90th birthday was an undoubted highlight.

He is the author of nine books, appeared on The One Show to discuss his book about the 1966 World Cup Final, is a sports commentator for the BBC and owns, on vinyl, every UK number one single since the charts began.

Susan began her working life in sales and retail management, but wanted to learn more about business, so took the leap and started an accountancy training contract with a mid-tier firm. After qualifying, she spent six years in various finance roles. In 2015, she began developing and audience-testing both comic and more dramatic scripts for theatre and short film. Committed to words and stories in their different forms, she retrained as a journalist and audio producer, works freelance, and is writing her first novel.

Andy H
Andy has written extensively for Time Out, Metro, The Guardian, New York Post, easyJet Traveller, Clash and others, covering music, food, art, fashion, technology and travel. He studied history at London’s groovy Goldsmiths college, and spent the best years of his twenties crisscrossing the globe as a touring musician. Nowadays, Andy is cheerfully domesticated with two beautiful children, a smelly dog, and a piano that’s a hassle to shift so he’ll probably stay put in glorious Devon. He doesn’t have the accent – yet, anyway.
