MARTHA BRYCE

Martha Bryce started her career working with small, family run food producers before moving onto work at the press office at Edinburgh & Lothians Tourist Board. After transferring to VisitScotland, she managed the PR for Southern Europe and then food and drink PR with UK-wide media. Since setting up on her own, Martha has worked with a huge variety of food producers, hotels, festivals, heritage and arts organisations. With a dual passion for the food and tourism industries, she’s worked to promote businesses of all sizes with a range of practical tips and a particular knowledge of the UK’s lifestyle media. Martha also coordinates regional food group, Food from Fife.

JESSICA SNEDDON

Jessica’s love of the hospitality industry began at Edinburgh’s prestigious five star Rocco Forte hotel, The Balmoral, where she was PR and Marketing Manager (and where she met her chef husband and Martha for the first time!) She went on to work with some of the UK’s leading food & drink and hospitality agencies managing clients across the spectrum from big consumer brands like Mars to foodservice businesses like Nisbets to Michelin starred restaurants and burger chains. Jessica has an in-depth knowledge of the restaurant industry, helping to co-ordinate the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts in Scotland, as well as being on BBC Good Food Magazine’s trends panel.

“So having been in the restaurant business for the last 40 years and being a very difficult PR machine myself, I always find myself looking for a good PR person which is very difficult, especially one that is willing to listen to my crazy ideas. This was, of course, until three years ago when I met Jessica Sneddon – calm, collected and to the point, she also (nearly!) always delivers what she promises, so I feel quite lucky and scared to recommend her as she won't have time for me! #Brava”
