Emma was born in the year the Beatles broke up. She set up Meantime in 2008 after a 15 year career reporting on the supply chain and logistics industries. She is an NCTJ-trained reporter and an award-winning editor.

She studied Middle Eastern Archaeology and Akkadian, although she has to admit her cuneiform is probably a little rusty these days. She was once an archaeologist working in Syria and Jordan, and has been an English language teacher.

She has lived at one time or another in Jerusalem and Aleppo, as well as Paris and Brussels, where she went to school and learnt to speak French. She is an accredited CIPR practitioner.

Julian was born in the year man first walked on the moon. He co-founded Meantime in 2008 after over a decade of reporting on the supply chain and maritime industries, including being editor and publisher of magazines such as Lloyd’s Ship Manager, Lloyd’s Shipping Economist, and Cargo Systems.

He holds the Post Graduate Certificate in Periodical Journalism and wrote for football weekly Shoot magazine as a cub reporter. He is passionate about all things fish and has hosted a number of masterclasses about the history of the UK Oyster industry.

He is a Guinness World Record Holder for having gutted the most mackerel in an hour, a feat he achieved on 9^th of April 2009  at London’s Pinewood Studios for the TV show Guinness World Records Smashed. His 362 fish in an hour record remains unchallenged.

Dulcie was born in the year LinkedIn was founded and Facebook prequel Friendster was launched.

She is an English graduate with a love of classic literature and a keen eye for spotting how social media can encourage the NextGen to read it.  She aced her dissertation by creating a film taking Jane Austin’s heroine Emma to the TikTok generation.

Logistics is in her DNA thanks to her family’s supply chain-focused event business, and she is consequently an expert at spotting Eddie Stobart trucks on long car journeys.

In her spare time Dulcie enjoys cooking, reading, and going to the theatre, as well as the cinema, and music concerts.

Rose Ann was born the same year Halley’s Comet last made an appearance. She started out in the world with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in biotechnology – before realising she had more creative spark than scientific patience. She made the switch to branding and advertising and never looked back. This decision was validated in 2014, when she was one of six Indians selected to represent the country by the Advertising Council of India. A clear sign she was on the right track.

For the past 10 years, she’s been deep in the world of B2B marketing, with a strong focus on social media strategy, content, and making complex ideas sound simple and engaging.

She’s also a mum to three boys – her toughest clients to date – which means no professional challenge has ever come close to the chaos she manages before 9am. Outside of work, she’s either experimenting in the kitchen, bringing things to life in the garden, or coming up with creative ways to make learning fun.

Kaya was born in the same year as her twin sister.

After completing her studies, she pursued a career in London working with some of the U.K’s best known interior designers and master craftsmen to bring bespoke furniture and fabrics into production. In recent years she has also worked in public relations, deploying her creative and analytical skills to a whole new industry.

In her spare time, she can be found in her pottery studio, her kitchen, or walking her dog in the Kent countryside. Kaya is also a beekeeper.
