Who I help

Dan Mason

A little personal stuff …

I was editor-in-chief of award-winning daily newspapers including the Coventry Evening Telegraph and Birmingham Post, and managing editor for a fine ensemble of newspapers and news websites around London (Newsquest / Gannett).

Along the way, I’ve launched, edited or published websites, magazines, niche publications, newspapers and books, and was managing director of Coventry Newspapers Ltd (Mirror Group plc).

Non-profit organisations I’ve chaired include the marvellous new fiction publisher Tindal Street Press and the Birmingham Lifelong Learning Partnership.

Alongside community development lurks a passion for arts and heritage. I’ve been proud to be involved with trusts driving the restoration of Birmingham Town Hall and re-launch of Coventry Transport Museum, as well as with Arts & Business, UnLtd, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and two city marketing partnerships.
