On leaving school, I thought a career in Pensions would be exciting. After many years I realised that I needed a more challenging career... so I took a break and had 3 children.

I have since then worked for several different Organisations building up a wealth of knowledge along the way... as they say variety is the spice of life!

I’ve worked in marketing and advertising since leaving university, with much of my career spent in full-service advertising agencies. I’ve gained experience working in B2B and B2C and in many different sectors too; from healthcare and pharmaceuticals to oil and gas to agriculture. More recently I’ve worked with start-ups and created a charity too. I love the diversity of advertising, love that no two days are the same and love that there’s always opportunity to learn something new.

Having grown up on a beef and arable farm, I studied Business Management and Marketing at Harper Adams, which included a placement year in Sales & Marketing at a gin distillery.

I have worked in B2C digital marketing and have come to TAP with plenty of agency experience. I love that I can combine marketing with an industry I love!

I knew exactly what I wanted to do when I was leaving school – honestly!  I started working in an advertising agency when I was 18 and haven’t looked back.

30+ years later I am still loving what I do. Every year has been completely different, apart from the fact that I am consistently still learning.

My background is marketing and advertising graphic design, with 15 years experience above and below the line.

I specialise in branding but can still code up a storm given a good pair of headphones.

I was lucky to have a diverse upbringing, split between UK and the States.  Armed with my BASIS qualification,  I forged a commercial and technical career in Crop Protection, before moving to EMEA Digital Communication Leader. Combining my knowledge of Ag with the digital and creative expertise of TAP means I get the best of both worlds resulting in a career - within an industry -  that I truly love!

Took art lessons at the age of 11 (paid for by cleaning their art studio on a Saturday morning). Started as a paste-up artist at 16 with an Ad agency. I was head-hunted at 18 to run a studio at a local printer; there I worked on everything from repro-graphics, printing and finishing, even made a few cups of tea again!

I have over 40 years’ experience in creative design, print, illustration, art direction and photography for clients including: British American Tobacco, British Airways, EasyJet and other airlines within the travel retail industry, above and below the line. 

My passion for music led me to DJ-ing from an early age; and I still throw down tunes 45 years later - in clubs and at parties; and for everything from celeb weddings, private and corporate gigs to music quizzes. 

I really love working with the team at TAP, sharing creative ideas and working on some great campaigns. 

I first began working for Nationwide Building Society, and transitioned through several smaller independent companies to grow my Accounts skills. These were both of service and manufacturing industry.

The diversity of the places I have worked has instilled in me the determination to keep learning and developing new skills, but more importantly to keep on top of those all important tasks which are key to presenting clear data. I believe in good customer and supplier relationships, and enjoy establishing these from the start.

When I’m not crunching numbers, paying bills and issuing invoices, I like to run or walk through the local countryside, accompanied by the trusty woof! Downtime is yoga, both dynamic and restorative,  to refocus, balance and restore mind body and soul

My background is actually in dispute resolution, with over 16 years experience working in police complaints, the Financial Ombudsman and then homelessness prevention. This has given lots of experience in project management, a skill that is serving me well as Project and Office Support Co-ordinator for TAP. 

My childhood was The Good Life, growing vegetables and living alongside a menagerie of animals including our Highland house cow – Teddy! Farming is in my blood and I’m never happier than when I’m out in the countryside.

I’ve always worked in food; in agencies and in-house for brands. I’m a home economist, food stylist and I’ve written cookery books too.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working in roles that allowed me to bridge my interests in agriculture with my professional expertise. From managing events to spearheading marketing campaigns, and overseeing complex projects and client accounts; I'm dedicated to advancing the agricultural industry, with a focus on growth and sustainability.

After school I went to London to pursue a career in Rock-stardom. After playing with Pete Townsend I went on to develop games and had a top ten charting game (Rally Championship 2000). I was part of key virtualisation development for Linux operating systems (more commonly known as "The Cloud") and I've been in senior digital development posts ever since.

I studied at Hartpury University, where my interest in crops, sustainability and soil science grew. Now I take care of over 100 houseplants, my dog, and my expanding flock of bantams. 

I love food so it made sense that food production was something I was interested in. My background is in agriculture and conservation with a bit of marketing experience on the side. 

It all started with a degree in environmental geology, moving on to PA work, ad sales, publishing, media planning & buying, and more agency roles.

I find myself today immersed in the world of content - stories in all of their fabulous shapes, sizes & guises.  As far as jobs go, I’m pretty lucky… who doesn’t love a good story?

Having worked in countless design agencies in London, and can finally say the same work now happens in a small town on the Cambridgeshire/Hertfordshire border where I live. My best kind of campaign involves a spirited and and talented team, and championing 'design for good' as a goal, whether that be for the betterment of people or the planet.

I'm an all out creative with 20 years agency and client-side experience crafting campaign ideas in all discliplines, working in Agriculture, food retail, climate tech' and B2B industries to name a few.

My experience is channel neutral, having worked for a number of integrated agencies - mainly focussed on B2B and Internal Comms. There’s nothing I like more than a complex campaign for multiple audiences. I love working in the agricultural industry for its diversity and passionate, committed audience.

I’m an easy going, happy-go-lucky people’s person. When I’m not working, you’ll find me outside in the countryside, out exploring in my VW campervan or away on holiday (I love being abroad!). I’m also an animal lover and if I could, I’d adopt every pet out there needing a home!

I used to live in France, I’ve worked abroad in Ibiza and Malia, and I used to make fragrances in a perfume factory, too! So, I’ve had a variety of jobs and life experience over the years but now I found my place in agriculture, I can’t really see myself leaving the industry, I just love it!

I have a diverse professional background from start-ups to multinationals. Over the last years, I discovered the importance of sustainability and rural development for our planet.

During my work experience in Singapore I discovered the magic of marketing as a powerful tool for changing mindsets, and therefore, working at TAP is incredibly enriching.

We moved to take on a smallholding and over the years have grown cereals, hay, fruit and vegetables. Last year we produced a particularly good garlic harvest along with first-ever sloes!

After finishing my degree in marketing and business, I started a Pub business (typical of Spain) in which I learned a lot in all areas of business, but I always had the focus on digital marketing. After a while, I finished the previous stage and started working in digital agencies, specialising in the online environment. I like programming, task automation, search engine optimization and e-commerce where I try to give my best in TAP.
