Jo Leigh (Publisher and Editor)
Jo started her career in media from the early age of 14, heading up the school magazine as Editor, so working within the industry was always in her sights. She went straight on to work at the local newspaper after education at the age of 19, growing up through the ranks to be an advertising regional manager with Newsquest. After 6 years she made a career move into property where she managed a team of estate agents in the Hampshire area for a further 6 more years. Here she broke her career to start a family.
After her career break she returned back to both her careers in property and media part-time. This is when she joined Country Child in 2011. Rediscovering her love for all things media she left property to take over the running of the magazine alongside the amazing Country Child team.
She classes herself as a ‘media mum’ that like so many are juggling far too much. However she would not have it any other way.
In 2016 she took over the reigns entirely and grew the publication further into the south west rural pockets. Today the magazine is an online offering covering the whole of the UK.
