We’ve moved to #EastKent to embrace a new way of life.
Many of my friends want to demonstrate that parents can spend time with
their children, build a successful business and give back to our community too.
This isn’t some flash-in-the-pan hippy-notion, my network of mums and
dads include people with very interesting and diverse backgrounds looking for
change, including: new media strategists, teachers, academics, artists, film
makers, shopkeepers, food producers, doulas, café owners, business coaches, nurses,
communications directors and many more.
East Kent is a vibrant and creative place which is undergoing major
regeneration. It has many complex socio-economic challenges, but things are
changing. I believe is definitely the place to be if you want to live, work or
study in an inspiring and exciting environment. With its beautiful countryside,
sandy and shingle beaches, vibrant arts scene, historic towns and city as well
as easy access to London, it is also a wonderful place to bring up children.
Here are some people and organisations I’ve been using to help me set
up my new publishing company in East Kent.
