As a UK qualified teacher in early years, primary, English as a second language (ESL), English as a foreign language (TEFL), and an experienced educational publisher who has worked both in-house and independently, Gill provides hugely valuable experience. Current voluntary roles include school governance and trustee board membership.

Clients have included international governments, US publishers seeking access to the UK market and UK publishers seeking access to Asian markets. Trade publishers with education lists seek expertise on specific aspects of a specific curriculum and many times, publishers and investors commission market or product reports including competition analyses. Publishers with Caribbean resources have commissioned piloting projects with training responsibilities. The diversity of projects is endless.

Gill’s specialism is in driving strategy and product development through creative, yet evidence informed solutions. She uses her extensive network of key players and knowledge of the industry to ensure the highest standards of engagement and outcomes. Clients range from EdTech start-ups to established publishing giants seeking hybrid or digital solutions to publishing portfolios. Being an industry judge for over 10 years, Gill has witnessed the landscape shifts and subsequent impact on work processes.

Gill is a qualified mainstream and English as a second language (ESL) teacher for 3-11 year olds with international experience of teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) too. She is a successful author and content provider of many award-winning classroom resources for literacy and language development, including the specialist areas of handwriting and systematic, synthetic phonics (SSP). As her resources are used globally, she has not only delivered product training in the UK, but internationally too.
