Team Ocelot

Because it's about time we met...
Suave, cultured and well-read - just some of the words people never use to describe us. If we were a football team, we'd be twice as good as Accrington Stanley and almost as good as FC Utrecht were in the 70s (bet you have to look that up!). Here, for your amusement, are the Oceloteers in all their glory!

The Editor and founder of the Ocelot magazine. Jamie had previously worked at the Daily Mail, some Essex paper that no-one's heard of and also as the Chief Reporter at the Swindon Advertiser, before leaving to create something that doesn't make you want to gouge your eyes out with an Anti-Social Behaviour Order. Battling an obvious weight problem and amusing speech impediment, he still manages to be a jolly nice bloke who always seems to be getting the cakes in (even when no-one's asked him to...) The man who single-handedly saved the company from a near-shipwreck and steered it back onto a course of steady slow-puncture. Dave has worked previously as a door-to-door encyclopaedia salesman, a showroom car-washer and a spectacularly unemployed scriptwriter before settling down to a career of Fannying About at the Ocelot. No relation to the bloke from the Eurythmics, but does fancy himself on guitar when drunk. Arjun saw our previous website, laughed wholeheartedly and then sent us a massive invoice for a new one. But he does have nice hair, and always laughs at our jokes. Whilst not answering silly questions about HTML codes from Dave at three in the morning Arjun also runs his own web design company, Evucan Solutions. Rosy Crampton joined our sales team mid 2009 and has not looked back since (except that time we yelled 'look behind you!'). A former salesperson of the year at the Reading Chronicle, Rosy's arrival has paved the way for the Oxford launch and helped keep our ever-burgeoning number of advertisers satisfied. As well as being the only person in the office considerate enough to do the washing up, she also has the same name as Jamie's mum. Aww. Expertly and selflessly suffering through quality local beer after quality local beer, Brewery Bird pens our Camra beer of the month column, and a fine job she does too. We're not allowed to publicly identify Brewery Bird for fear of legal repurcussions, but safe to say she knows her beers inside and out (mostly in) Anon Y Miss (we think she's Welsh) has been our food reviewer since 2008, and as well as picking out the local gems, she's also performed the useful public service of exposing many a crappy eatery up and down the land! Despite her fearsome reputation her food reviews are always fair and truthful - her extensive industry knowledge from her former life help make it one of the Ocelot's most popular sections. Of course, we know she's just doing it so she can keep charging us for her lunches, but we're too scared to say no to her...
