Jacqueline was born on the Island and grew up here, the daughter of successful hoteliers in Sandown. She still lives nearby in Lake, where some of the best family friendly beaches are to be found!



After a year in France, she studied History at university and then worked briefly at Isle of Wight Radio before moving to London and a career in Public Relations. Her final role was managing the PR for Historic Royal Palaces, which was a wonderful job that encompassed selling TV series, including those ‘behind the scenes’, alongside building film location work and, of course, managing a variety of media and press coverage, which appeared across the world. She had a leading role in the roll out of a commercial rebranding, was well versed in crisis management and has since used her varied experience to advise a number of charities here and abroad.
