We don’t just
‘do’ content; we
live and breathe it

James steers the ship at Q, managing the content and delivery of all campaigns across the board and developing engaging, defined and bespoke briefs that best fit each client’s business needs.

With expertise in both the finance and media sector, Tom holds a BSc degree in Economics and Politics from the University of Bath.

On a day-to-day basis Tom manages all things financial at Q and brings extensive knowledge of the publishing sector thanks to more than 10 years as Managing Director of specialist publisher M2 Communications.

Tom was the 5th Guildford Cub Scout tea-making champion, two years running. Unfortunately, it was all downhill from there. He owns two Rhodesian ridgebacks who help him supervise the office

Rachel puts her 15 years of experience in digital and print consumer lifestyle publishing to good use at Q, liaising with writers and her substantial portfolio of clients to ensure top quality content is delivered on time and to spec.

With a BA Hons in Multi Media Journalism, her expertise in the industry helps guide clients to content success.

Rachel indulges in wine, cheese and throwing pots in her spare time. She also used to test out honeymoon locations for a living.

Toni is part of the furniture here at Q, having been around since 2012 – first on a freelance basis and then joining the team in 2013.

Her degree in English Language and Communication and extensive background in copywriting has earned her the ‘grammar police’ badge of the office. Toni uses her skills to look after big names from the insurance, retail, travel, lifestyle and hospitality sector, ensuring every bit of content her clients receive is tip-top: on brief, on tone and on time.

When Toni’s not at work you can find her testing out new recipes in the kitchen – she’s also surprisingly proficient at reciting the alphabet backwards at high speed.

Joining the team at the start of 2021, Sam is an experienced writer, editor and content manager, with years of agency experience under his belt. With a background producing everything from technical whitepapers to animation scripts, Sam loves helping clients turn complex information into content that inspires and informs.

At Q, Sam makes sure that every piece of content works hard for our clients, and is delivered on brief and on time.

When not at work, Sam can be found running laps at the track or cycling his bike to far-flung destinations (Lithuania is as far as he has currently managed).

On an average day you'll find our in-house designer Jane crafting creative solutions for our clients from a variety of sectors. Whether she’s concocting concepts for infographics or bringing e-books to life, she always amazes us with her conceptual, imaginative brain.

Putting her degree in Graphic Design from UWE Bristol to good use, she worked as an illustrator and photographer, and has been a designer for over 15 years, with plenty of experience working in the world of marketing agencies.

Jane's a whiz in the kitchen and loves nothing more than feeding friends and family. She's a soon-to-be trained hypnotherapist and enjoys running and going to gigs. She's also fanatical about cinema - so much so that she belongs to a film discussion group. Who needs IMDb when Jane's around to give us the lowdown?

Eleanor’s an integral part of our writing team here at Q, producing a range of content formats – thought leadership, white papers, blogs and infographic copy – for a variety of clients and sectors.

With a BA in History and German, as well as an NCTJ certificate in newspaper journalism and an MFA in Creative Writing under her belt, Eleanor previously worked as a newspaper journalist and for BBC News online. She then went on to work in charity copywriting for a number of years.

When Eleanor’s not at work, you can either find her playing the tenor saxophone, or wild swimming in a serene lake (weather depending).

Polly is an established member of the writing team here at Q, and our resident legal expert. As well as more than five years’ marketing experience in copywriting and PR, Polly was a paralegal for almost three years, handling both Claimant and Defendant Civil Litigation and Personal Injury Claims.

Lisa was once an extra in a Bollywood film. They made her wear bright yellow Lycra. She hasn’t been an extra since.

Here at Q he produces a range of content including blogs, website copy and video scripts for a variety of clients and sectors. Matt graduated with a BA degree in Journalism from Brighton where he also obtained an NCTJ Preliminary Certificate.

When he’s not writing, Matt indulges his obsession with the American South, namely Western films, country music, bourbon whiskey and authentic fried chicken.
