Sally Harrison: Director. Having worked at the BBC for six years and Channel 4 for five I have done a variety of jobs in TV; everything from researching topical guests for the Wogan show, booking celebrities guests for Ruby Wax and Light Lunch, directing and editing inserts and producing live OBs on the Big Breakfast. With twelve nieces and nephews so far, ranging from a 21 year old to a new born, I have had plenty of hands on child experience.

Claire Collins: Director of E-Business. Claire brings over 10 years corporate sales and marketing experience to the Best Bear team. For many years she worked for a US technology company, both in the States and across Europe, rising through the sales ranks to reach the position of International Marketing Director. After a stint in corporate strategy she took on the unique role of Director of E-Business at a time when technology restructuring within business was at its peak. This has given her a unique perspective on the corporate use of IT/internet and e-business tools. It is this mix of sales and technology experience that makes Claire a strong addition to the team.

Abigail Evershed: I worked in the beauty industry for six years for a leading skincare and cosmetic's house. Now I'm working for Best Bear I find my job much more rewarding, dealing with real life issues. Nothing is more satisfying than when a parent finds the right childcarer through us. I have one gorgeous godchild and plenty of friends who are beginning to have children, so I have a great understanding of how difficult and important it is to find good quality childcare.

Eve Tomlinson: Co-Founder: As a mother of two boys I am learning that having two children doesn't double the work for some reason it qualdruples it. I became convinced that Best Bear was a badly needed service after having nightmares trying to find childcare and discovering there were hundreds of other mum in the same boat.
