The people behind Radar

Our desks bring together events and Guides across food, music, art, family activities and the places around them. Each profile sets out a team member’s remit. The editorial contact on a story identifies the person responsible for that area of coverage; it does not, by itself, mean they attended the event, wrote the story or personally checked every detail.
