Claire Ray
Claire is a Communication and Linguistics graduate who left Cardiff University to search those infamous golden pavements of London town. She started as a runner in a Post Production facility with special responsibility for polishing the Oscar once a week before reluctantly returning it to its case. Moving through the ranks, Claire worked at the Whitehouse film editing company in Soho for six years before the call of the sea and her lovely husband lured her back to the West Country. Claire loves Cornwall and enjoys walks on the beach, kayaking on a lazy summer´s afternoon and cycling around Cornwall’s beautiful countryside. When not writing copy or pitching stories to editors and journalists, proud mum Claire loves nothing more than spending time with her son Indy.
