Lizz Clarke
Lizz founded LCM in 1988 when, as a young working mum she was offered the position of Marketing Director at a famous international training organisation and negotiated instead to carry out the work as an outsource from home. The client's marketing success was extraordinary and highly visible, her reputation grew and so did the team around her. Lizz’s strengths are in devising growth strategies, developing creative PR and marketing campaigns, and copywriting.

Sue Gorrett
Sue is LCM's 'visual whizz' adding a wealth of creative expertise and a keen eye to all our graphics, advertising and merchandise projects. Her marketing career began in 1982 and she has extensive knowledge of print media, design and production. She has worked for a number of in-house marketing departments, consultancies and successfully ran her own PR, marketing and graphic design agency for 9 years before moving to England. Sue's vibrancy, adeptness, and wealth of experience adds a huge helping of je ne sais quoi to each and every client she deals with.

Debbie Laycock
Debbie is the power behind our media and press relations and she has a way of working with them to maximise uptake of your editorial mentions. Debbie is able to generate press releases on the turn and get them into the press while they are still hot news. She will also track your mentions in print and online and provide you with regular reports on your project. Debbie’s organised and tenacious style means that she won’t let go of a job until it has been completed – on time and to budget.

Kat can turn her hand to a number of editorial styles and works quickly and efficiently to get the work done. Kat worked in the marketing department at Southampton University and has gained good knowledge of targeted, sales-oriented marketing. She knows what works and has quickly learnt to adapt her style to sort our many varied clients.

Annette has a background in business finance and administration and immediately prior to joining LCM was director of a marketing agency serving a highly specialist niche. Responsible for finance, administration, HR and IT, she makes it her business to drive our client-focused team members to greater and greater effectiveness. Annette is hugely popular with everyone here, and with clients and suppliers alike. She is married with three grown up children and a baby grandson (although you definitely would not guess it to look at Annette!), and spends most of her life on her boat.

Angus Robertson
Angus Robertson works exclusively with one of our clients as a business development executive specialising in cosmetic science. Angus was the school geek, rubbish at sports but loved learning about how the world worked, so it was no surprise to anyone that after leaving school he found a Job in a lab.
After his HNC in Chemistry, he moved into operational and subsequently technical support and business development roles. He completed his MBA in 2000.
Angus is known for his sun glasses and snazzy hat, and annoys his neighbours by playing his vintage Fender Stratocaster very loudly (when his wife is away).

Way back, Jonathan's passion for Letraset font books led inevitably to a career in graphic and brand design. His inner geek was drawn like a moth to the light of the web in 1997 and he hasn't escaped its glow yet. He represented GB at Ultimate Frisbee for many years but now dedicates himself to keeping his end up with web standards, being a dad and being greener. Jonathan on Twitter.
