	Helen Batt-Rawden publisher / managing director Email: helen@btp.net.au Phone: +61 (2) 8264 4488 Helen says it’s great owning a business and working for yourself, but what is most satisfying to her is knowing that when she comes into the office each day she will be met with the same highly professional, happy and content people that she’s been seeing for a number of years. Staff devotion, stability and their unrivalled expertise means everything to her. ”I’ve surrounded myself with good people, a loyal readership and a ‘Rolls Royce’ class of supporters and clients that make up our business events industry. We love what we do and do what we love.”		Brad Foster managing editor Email: brad@btp.net.au Phone: +61 (2) 8264 4400 With micenet AUSTRALIA since its inception.

Get Up & Go
	Bev Malzard Editor Email: bev@btp.net.au Phone: +61 (2) 8264 4422 I have been the editor of Get Up & Go magazine for seven years and have been instrumental in evolving it to fit the ‘fab 50 years plus’ market. I have been a journalist for more years than I will admit too and love the magazine industry. I try and stay on top of the social media side and have embraced blogging too. When I am not writing and getting the magazine, newsletter, blog and facebook happening, I’m in the air, on the rails, at sea, on the road, discovering all the countries of the world or sitting comfortably having a posh afternoon tea – all in the name of research for Get Up & Go. I’m one of those people that love coming to work with great colleagues and a supportive company attitude – can’t get much better than that.		Richard Birrell National Advertising Manager Email: richard@btp.net.au Phone: +61 (2) 8264 4420 I have been involved in publishing and sales for most of my working life.
