Cath Everett
VerifiedCath Everett’s Biography
I have been a journalist and editor since 1992 working initially in print before moving to the online world in 1996, which included a two-year term as US Bureau Chief based in San Francisco, California, for a high-profile daily technology news website.
On my return to the UK in 2000, I decided to harness my experience by becoming a freelance journalist/editor for a varied range of publications. This scenario gave me the opportunity to broaden my field of work to include copy- and report-writing as well as developing a wide selection of marketing materials.
I returned in-house in 2011 to become editor of the HRZone.com online publication and community, which is aimed at HR professionals. Here I was responsible for an editorial revamp and contributed to a website redesign, before moving to South Africa in early 2013 for my husband’s work. During the two years spent in the country, I wrote a widely-read weekly blog for International Business Times (http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/reporters/cath-everett) and also undertook a range of charity work. Activities here included devising a content strategy for an educational development NGO as well as training and further developing the writing skills of its employees.
I resumed my freelance career in the UK as of January 2015 and, in my time, have written, among others, for The Times/Raconteur, the Guardian, International Business Times, BusinessGreen.com, HR magazine, Personnel Today, diginomica.com, Computer Weekly and myCustomer.com.
I also used to edit the Global Payroll Association's content website, GPA.Live, and www.spiritofeastanglia.com, a website aimed at people seeking personal growth whose content was provided by a community of health and wellbeing practitioners in East Anglia.
