Lesley: Writer/Editor

Lesley is a journalist with more than 20 years' experience writing and editing for newspapers, trade publications, magazines and websites. Originally trained in law, she is a well known contributor to gardening publications throughout Australasia.

Lesley also works for her local hospice, where she coordinates fundraising and communications. In 2007 she took on the voluntary role of coordinating her home town's annual flower festival, an event that traditionally attracts more than 10,000 visitors to the town on one day. In her alleged spare time she tends her large and impressive garden.

Ian: Writer

Ian has spent much of his career in the PR industry following a number of years as a business journalist. He has also managed internal communications for Air New Zealand and B2B communications for Watercare (where he won a coveted global award at the League of American Communication Professionals' Award).

Little, if anything, fazes Ian. However, his most notable strengths are business and technically oriented writing. He is quick to grasp the essentials of a story and great at asking the right questions to get to its very heart.
