The Editor

As the editor of VitAL Magazine I think a bit of background is called for!

I am an experienced business to business editor with over 13 years’ served on a range of highly technical industrial and business titles, from aerospace to packaging, logistics to engineering I have written about them all. Perhaps more important than the basic editorial skills is the ability to get involved and be part of an industry. To this end I like to get out and mix it up with as many companies and people as I can – it’s the only way you can really get under the skin of an industry in my experience so if you’d like to arrange a meeting or perhaps you have some content you would like to submit for the website or a future issue of the magazine please feel free to get in touch.

Before getting the ‘calling’ to be a business journalist I worked as a marketing communications consultant for a major telecoms company, so I do have a little experience at the ‘coal face’ of the IT sector. Indeed, the company in question was at the time in the process of writing and  testing the software for BT’s first generation of digital telephone exchanges, so I like to think I have some history with the industry. I only wish I paid more attention at the time; hindsight is a wonderful thing.

As I mentioned I like to get out and about and meet and greet as many people as possible so if you have an interesting story to tell, an opinion on anything related to the IT Management arena or indeed any suggestions as to how we can improve the title or the website please do email me: matthew.bailey@31media.co.uk

I look forward to hearing from you.
