Catherine Harvey
How do I follow the biographies of my fellow colleagues? I cannot profess to being a secret author of world famous books or having a string of credentials to reel out at opportune moments. Mine was an unusual start into the world of writing. After cheating death from a massive head injury at the age of two, I came out of hospital with the newfound abilities of reading and writing and so began my quest to become a writer. Leaving out the tedious and boring journey in between, I now find myself among the ranks of ‘special’ people at HP Group, editing your technology news on a daily basis and writing the blurb you see on web pages. You don’t have to be mad to work here but a serious bang on the head helps, I find!

Swapna Uddin
Having worked in various magazine and newspaper publishing companies, trained as a magazine Sub-editor and now training from home as a journalist, I realised that I no longer wanted to work in the world of print publishing but decided to move towards the web. I found my niche in SEO Web Copywriting and Web Content writing when I discovered the world of SEO and website designing nearly a year ago. In doing this, I learnt that SEO writing was very different from print writing as it gave me the opportunity to take whatever angle I wanted with each article provided it remained relevant to the anchor text. I was more relieved that I no longer had to worry about the pressures of meeting to tight deadlines before going to press! I soon discovered and found employment with HP Group (now nearly 6 months ago), and have not looked back since. I very quickly settled into the supportive and friendly working environment at HP Group, and they gave me the freedom to be as creative as I wanted with each article. No two days are the same when working for HP Group, each member of staff work hard to achieve nothing short of excellence in their service, whilst maintaining a relaxed attitude and keeping a good morale in the office.

One score and seven years ago I was born, as many people would have you believe due to my writing style, into the wrong century.
My favourite words such as ‘hitherto’, ‘forthwith’ and ‘thence’ have long since been banished to the realms of legal documentation and I enjoy the reading and writing of poetry, to the great amusement of many of my colleagues!
I have learnt an inordinate amount from the vast range of experienced writers that inhabit the copywriting department of HP and have truly found my niche in SEO.

Michael Scanlon
Michael has a colourful background writing features and reviews for magazines and websites. His writing career has led to encounters with Roger Moore, writer and traveller Ted Simon and the World Record holder for the most press ups in one minute.
But he says the highlight so far has to be the time he interviewed that legend of entertainment, Basil Brush. Michael has always been interested in technology and still owns the Sinclair ZX Spectrum computer that he was given for Christmas in 1982! His involvement in the SEO industry has opened his eyes to a whole new way of working.
“Being a writer at HP Group requires discipline but no two days are the same and it’s exciting to be part of something that has such a bright future”.
