Meet the Good Housekeeping team

Liz's job is to make sure that Good Housekeeping keeps growing and innovating – while staying true to its Tried, Tested, Trusted promise of course – so that in another 100 years, it's not just still great but bigger and better than ever.

“I’ve been itching to edit Good Housekeeping ever since I worked for two legendary former editors in my early career,” Jane says. “It’s the only magazine that's as loved, as powerful and as relevant today as it was when it launched in 1922. I think everything (from style to health, culture to money) is housekeeping, and housekeeping is everything.”

Simon works across the brand’s key digital platforms including newsletters and video. He has over 15 years’ experience working in digital journalism and has previously written for The Guardian and Metro.co.uk.
