Jon Pritchard-Barrett - Head of Content

Ever since having his first poem published in the school magazine aged eight, words and letters have boggled Jon’s mind.

He took his first course in HTML 3.2 (which is quite a long time ago in internet years) and later took a Masters in design for interactive media at the height of the dot-com boom. He has worked online ever since.

As well as writing journalistic copy for the BBC, Jon spent a year at the Department of Trade and Industry where he worked on their search engine. "I became familiar with the basics of search at the DTI, where we had to get the internal search facility to bring back relevant information from 800 relevant government websites. It might not be the billions of sites you find on the web, but it was enough to stretch our heads."

When he's not in front of a screen obeying his mantra of “brevity and clarity”, Jon can be found in a variety of other-wordy pursuits; reading a book, in the cinema, at the theatre, riding his bike or dreamily walking the hills of Farringdon.
