Karen originally trained as a journalist and worked for the national news agency South West News Service and the Bristol Post. She then moved into consultancy PR where she stayed for 10 years before going in house for the US multi-national Herbalife, managing communications for Europe, Middle East and Africa and the, then, doubly challenging subjects of direct selling and weight management.
She returned to Bristol 12 years ago as a Director of JBP Communications where she is  still fortunate to remain as a consultant.
Karen has created everything from University prospectus’ to Impact and Annual Reports, as well as numerous websites and blogs. Content creation is her bread and butter.
She is currently a Trustee of the Bristol Museums Development Trust and a regular contributor to BBC Radio Bristol talking about everything from book reviews to what is going on in her home of Westbury-on-Trym in Bristol
