The Team

Here is just a small insight into the people who make Jazz tick. We are a small company and thanks to these guys, we make a lot happen and continue to have big dreams! If you want to be part of these dreams, visit our careers page, there may just be something for you.

Stuart Mears

Managing Director

Stuart loves a challenge! ‘Impossible' is simply not in his vocabulary. The founder of Jazz in 1988, he’s just as passionate and driven today and the driving force of the company. He looks (rather annoyingly) 15 years younger than he actually is. A proud dad to Laurence and Jack, whom he loves to bits!

Stuart
Alan Hayward

Magazine Editor

The wing man to Jimmer working on VW Bus T4 & 5+ Alan has been part of the VW scene for many years and his passion for the scene is second to none as you will see if you've ever met him at an event.

Alan
Blue Miller

100% Biker Magazine Editor

What can we say about Blue that already hasn't been said? Over the years, she has had a major influence within the custom bike scene and brings passion and an incredible amount of talent to 100% Biker magazine. The future for her magazine is so bright, you'll have to wear shades. ;)

Dave Richards

Assistant Editor

The wing man to David working on Volkswagen Camper & Commercial, Dave has been hanging around VWs for a long time. He also does not like wearing shoes ;)

Dave R
David Arthur

Technical Director

David heads our small but perfectly formed online team. As head geek (as he loves to be called) he sees the world as one large poorly normalised database. Responsible for all our online activities and leads his team admirably. Top man.

David Eccles

VW Camper Magazine Editor

David is a true gentleman and is married to the lovely Cee. What he does not know about Volkswagen Campers is not worth knowing, which is why he heads up our VW Camper & Commercial magazine and is the face of our VW displays at Camper Jam. He is author of many books and all round good guy.David is a true gentleman and is married to the lovely Cee.

Dee Lewis

Sales Executive

Dee is a member of our advertising team on our title Skin Deep. A happy-go-lucky mum of two and Nana to one, she spends her spare time socialising with friends and spoiling her grandson, Charlie. Dee is an avid reader and tends to devour novels in one-sitting. She also loves sunshine holidays, family meals and drinking lots of tea!

Dee
Holly Vicary

Magazine Advertising Sales Executive

Holly is advertising sales manager for Skin Deep magazine.
A dab hand with an engine, she spends her free-time building cars with her fiancé and is a massive fan of "drifting" - a hobby sport where over-steering your car is the key; it's definitely not for the faint-hearted!
Dream holiday destination for Holly is Florida. She always has a booking on the horizon...

Holly
James Northcott

Magazine Editor

Jimmer is the editor of our VW Bus T4 & T5+ publication. Being a part of the VW scene for many years, and with an unbridled enthusiasm for the vans and the people who drive them; he's certainly got some big ideas. We can't wait to see where Jimmer takes the magazine in the future.

Jimmer
Jan Schofield

Accounts

Jan is the longest working member of the team. 21 years she's been trapped here and she has a gold clock for her mantle piece to prove it (Erm.. I think we forgot to give her that, Ed.). An amazing lady who's commitment and dedication to what we have achieved is greatly appreciated. You would have thought after 21 years though, she could make a decent cuppa! ;-P

Justine Hart

Production Manager

Scheduling editors, designers, advertising, printers and logistics for magazine production is a military precision affair that Justine handles beautifully. Her ability to organise is second to none; if there were a device to file filing cabinets she’d have one. Perhaps we should start calling her Sergeant Major, bravo!

Karen Hall

VW Camper Sales Executive

When she’s not working on the latest issue of Volkswagen Camper & Commercial, mother of two Karen loves to bake, garden and write. Having completed her first children’s book in 2012, she’s currently working through her second while spending time with her two grandchildren and the rest of her family.

Karen
Katie-Marie Challinor

Customer Service Advisor

Katie brings her own unique way of thinking. She is the first port of call for phone contact into Jazz and deals with this professionally, friendly and with that all important ingredient, humour.

Katie
Kirsty Dalton

Junior Graphic Designer

Fresh out of Falmouth University with a degree in Graphic Design, Chester-native Kirsty interned at our INOUT publication before joining us permanently in September 2014. Kirsty loves Mexican food, the colour red, and making/binding books by hand.

Oh, and she’s also a little obsessed with Paolo Nutini...

Kirsty
Neo

Office Dog

Named after the famous Matrix film character (our Event Directors favourite film), Neo brings mischief in abundance to the Office. They took a while to bond, but him and his brother Walter are now mates for life, playfully keeping our delivery people, visitors and post men on their toes. Woof!

Neo
Sion Smith

Skin Deep Magazine Editor

Sion is editor of Skin Deep and Skin Shots International magazines. Cool as a cucumber, he has quickly mastered the arts of likability and wit. He is also either an insomniac or a vampire, as it is not uncommon to receive emails well into the witching hours from him.

Wendy Lennon

Senior Sales Executive

If Wendy could be anything, she would be a fairy (some believe she is). With fairy dust following her everywhere she goes and the lightness of her footsteps; you would hardly know she was in the office at all. Camera shy, we have invented the new game ‘Where’s Wendy’ for our events office photos. Look hard enough, she’s there somewhere.
