Having previously worked as a publisher, I transferred my skills to the editorial side of peer review. I especially enjoy the challenge of stepping in to provide temporary cover – bringing all of my experience to ensure a journal continues to run smoothly. I am currently responsible for our contract with the Public Library of Science, providing over 1200 hours /week of support for PLoS ONE, the largest scientific journals in the world!

With a background in customer service, having worked in the vehicle leasing world for over 7 years, I enjoyed transfering my skills to the publishing world. Since the launch of Editorial Office I have worked with over 40 journals and most of the main peer review systems, plus a few bespoke systems! I am responsible for our Society and Publisher contracts and enjoy working to build long-lasting relationships, ensuring that each client receives the service that best suits their requirements.

I worked for Barclays Bank for 17 years finishing my last 6 years managing the customer services centre for international banking. I am currently the Senior Journal Manager for PLoS ONE, for Editorial Office. I have two beautiful daughters and a horse, I love being outdoors and taking my girls and pony out, or going out for a bike ride. I also enjoy going to the cinema, socialising and reading (when I get chance and find a fab book!)

I previously worked as a sales coordinator in the printed packaging industry. I joined Editorial Office part time in 2004 and am now a full time Journals Manager, working on Clinical Radiology, The International Journal of Linguistics and other managerial roles within the office. I am married with 2 sons, and when I'm not working, I enjoy live music, various crafts, and leading the ‘Good Life’ growing vegetables and looking after my chickens!

I previously worked in Financial Services, going from a Pensions administrator to eventually contracting across the South of England and trying my hand at most things financially related. I now work on the PLoS ONE side of things for Editorial Office. I have three children and for fun I like to swim, run and last but less strenuous I love to read.

Over the past 10 years I have worked for a bank as Customer Advisor, and have also been a Club Secretary for a Football Club. I have been with Editorial Office since August 2010. I am mum to my 2 children and my shadow a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Any spare time I get I love the outdoors, most sports & walking the dog

Prior to being a full-time mother to four children for nine years, I was a Project Manager for an IT company for seven years, responsible for a consultancy team and training administration team within the London area for the upgrades from UNIX to Windows'NT for the MoD of their Secure IT Systems, including Senior HQ Operations and Operational Armed Forces sites. I joined Editorial Office as a Freelance Editorial Assistant for PLoS ONE in January 2010. In February 2011 I became a permanent employee as a Team Lead. My children keep me very busy and I am often found at either football tournaments, Irish dancing competitions or just being an unpaid taxi service for the children. I enjoy reading, going to the cinema and dining with friends and family.

I joined PLoS in May 2009 as an Editorial Assistant and am currently the Journal Manager. I moved from a Freelancer to an Employee in July 2010 and am really enjoying the role and the challenges! My previous job was as a toy and bookshop owner for four years. Prior to that I worked for Allied Domecq as an Assistant Accountant for about 8 years and had various other accounting jobs in subsequent years. I have had to put on hold my Open University Degree Course in English Literature as I cannot find the spare time! I am married with 2 children and when I am not working I enjoy reading, cooking , camping and running.

My background is in banking, having worked for Lloyds TSB for many years within their Savings and Investment Departments at Team Manager level. I began working for Editorial Office Ltd in 2005 on a part time basis, in September 2009 I became a full time Editorial Assistant working for Clinical Radiology, The Journal of Pathology, Sociologia Ruralis and BJOG An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. I am married with 2 lovely daughters and a scatty Cairn terrier, this all keeps me very busy but when I have spare time we enjoy camping, body boarding, beach walking with the scatty dog, socialising with friends, and music and films.

I originally qualified as a solicitor, and specialised in employment law, latterly working for a large mobile telecoms provider. However, life intervened, and needing a better work life balance to enjoy my family (& other animals) and to indulge my obsession with baking, I am now very happily working as the Editorial Assistant on the IAVS journals, the Journal of Agrarian Change and the Journal of Periodontal Research.

I joined PLoS ONE in March 2011 as a freelancer. Before this I had taken time out to be a full time mum. In my previous working life I was an administration clerk for 10 years at a local healthcare firm and latterly 6 years as a PA to the Director’s and then as a Sales Administration Manager both at De La Rue Currency. I’m married with 2 wonderful children (at times) and enjoy walking, growing my own vegetables and going to Disney World whenever we can.

I have been working for Editorial Office since February 2012 having previously worked in the banking industry for many years in various roles from cashiering to financial adviser. My last role was in Training and Development, keeping training material up to date for face to face workshops. I am married to Nick and have two children, my son is at University and my daughter is studying A levels at college. In my spare time I help my daughter look after her pony and I love to read. Having acquired a Kindle this has become much easier!

I am Editorial Office's first office dog and am therefore top dog. All visitors to the office have to get past me first - but I really just want to say hello! I'm a typical chocolate labrador, who loves to go for walks but refuses to chase a ball. I also collect the post and will deliver it to the office as long as there is a biscuit offered in exchange.

I am Meadow's younger household friend. I am much more of an active dog, and love nothing more than chasing my ball on a long walk. I have a highly sensitive nose and can find a ball even when Alice is sure that I have lost it! I also have a great internal clock and make sure that everyone knows when it is time for our afternoon walk. Welly is my best playmate and we spend countless hours chasing each other around the garden (much to Meadow's annoyance).

My name is Wellington and I've been with Editorial Office since 2008 and am working my way through the ranks, hoping to be top dog one day. Currently in charge of security and make myself heard when anyone (or anything - pigeons a speciality) comes into the garden. Hobbies mainly involve eating, sleeping, chasing Cassie and annoying Meadow!
