Robert Hillier

Robert Hillier is a freelance communications consultant who’s worked as a journalist for twenty years for the BBC, CNN and Sky in England, Africa and the UAE.

Robert has always had a strong interest in new tech and has a special interest in eco-tech. Robert is also studying strength and conditioning with Barcelona FC to boost his FA accredited coaching badges, so he can keep coaching his twin girls at their various football sessions!

He never tells anyone that he hates people calling him Rob, or even worse, Richard.

“The range of tech startups in the southwest is growing every day, creating new tools to change lives and boost business. We are delighted to be a part of that transformation, diversity and learning.”

Feyaza Khan

Feyaza Khan has been a print and broadcast journalist for 15 years in the UK, South Africa and the UAE. Feyaza went freelance in 2013 to teach businesses how to effectively market themselves on social media and mostly works with tech startups. She’s made it her mission to help tech firms realise the potential of effective social media.

She writes comedy for fun (the best reason!) and just because she likes eating, she’s created a Youtube channel to review vegetarian food brands. Most do not meet her approval.

“We are at the centre of innovation here in the South West and it is a privilege to be part of the team promoting the region’s tech.”
