Meet our colleagues

Suzy faulkner, deputy commercial director – london.

“I wanted to work for a global company to give me the opportunity of being exposed to multiple areas of the business as well as people and cultures. Working at VisitBritain has broadened my perspectives, and in turn enhanced my professional capabilities which has added value to the organisation. 

“There is flexibility, as my agenda could cover calls with Asia in the morning and webinars in the USA in the evening, which has led to a happier, healthier work-life balance. I have also expanded my knowledge of global markets and learnt best practices relating to policies and strategies.”  

Robin Kagenaar, Digital Marketing Manager Netherlands – Amsterdam 

“Working in the Europe team is truly international. I enjoy catching up on travel trends, and sharing ideas and video calls with colleagues all over the continent. You learn something new every day, from tiny but important cultural differences to massive overlaps in traveller behaviour that you never knew were there. 

“Working at VisitBritain is inspiring, energising and educational and you get to meet some of the nicest, most professional people around.”

Misha Kim, Marketing Manager – Seoul, China and North East Asia

“Britain is perceived very well in South Korea, and I am happy to represent it. The UK was actually the first country I visited overseas and it’s where I met my husband, so it’s a very special place to me. 

“My colleagues in London and in my region have always made me feel part of the team. We are so diverse, dynamic and delightful, and I am so proud to work alongside people who share my love for Britain.”

Celia Diaz, PR & Content Manager – Spain

“As a PR professional I worked in different areas of the tourism industry before I joined VisitBritain. One of the best things about working for an international company is the number of colleagues you meet from all around the globe. From Australia to Canada, to India and Brazil, we all work together to spread awareness of Britain.”

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

A British police officer was charged with misconduct Thursday after he was caught on bodycam footage allegedly swiping cash off the body of a dead actor in London.

Metropolitan Police Constable Craig Carter, 51, is accused of stealing £170, or $214, from Italian filmmaker Claudio Gaetani, who suffered a fatal heart attack while cycling on a busy city street in September 2022.

Carter “wilfully and without reasonable excuse or justification misconducted yourself in a way which amounted to an abuse of the public’s trust in the office holder by stealing cash from a deceased male who has passed away in the street,” officials said.

Footage of the allegedly sticky-fingered cop counting the loot was uncovered when a friend of Gaetani noticed that his wallet was empty when it was returned by police.

Gaetani, 45, had exchanged over 200 Euros for the small sum at the airport the night before after he landed from Italy for a theatre festival in the Southbank, she told the Mirror.

He was on his way to meet with the friend and her husband he would be staying with when he collapsed and died from a heart attack.

“The money is not the issue. [Claudio] comes from quite a wealthy family. I’m still doing [this complaint] not because of the money but because people who are in uniform they should have a kind of trust. I think it is really disrespectful. I was really, really upset,” the friend told the outlet.

Carter was initially placed on restricted duties and then suspended after the charges were brought down Thursday.

He is due back at Westminster Magistrates Court on Friday. He has not yet entered a plea.

25 companies hiring now for fully remote jobs in 2024.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

When searching for remote work, ensure that the company provides holistic wellbeing and career ... [+] support as well

Within the United States, the professional, scientific, and computer-related occupations have the highest shares of job postings for hybrid roles, and most importantly, fully remote work, according to recent findings from a National Bureau of Economic Research study .

Across these sectors can be found companies who have taken innovative approaches to hiring and proactive employee retention, ensuring employee wellbeing is consistently upheld, including fully remote, hybrid options, unlimited PTO, and even offering access to meditation, yoga, and wellness classes.

Some of these employers have been highlighted by FlexJobs as being most active in posting the highest number of remote jobs, hiring fully remote and flexible roles since the start of the year.

The industries represented by these employers span the most popular industries for remote work, mirroring the sectors listed in the NBER study, such as healthcare, consulting, technology, finance, and social media.

They also are highly diverse and span a wide range of career paths and interests, so you are sure to find something suitable for your career goals:

Here are 25 from their full list, and some noteworthy highlights for a few of these employers:

Best High-Yield Savings Accounts Of 2024

Best 5% interest savings accounts of 2024, 1. robert half international.

Robert Half, a recruitment agency and HR consulting firm, is listed as being the one of the "Best Workplaces for Parents" in 2023, was included in Fortune's "Most Admired Companies" in 2024, and provides strong career development support and an almost four-star rating on Glassdoor.

Veeva is an international cloud-computing company specifically focused on the life sciences industry. They also have a work-from-anywhere policy , while investing in their global offices for occasional meetings.

AECOM is an infrastructure consulting firm, covering several projects on a multinational level, including large-scale construction management, urban planning, and engineering. The employer was also listed as one of the Most Admired Companies.

4. CVS Health

A household name for many, CVS Health is the second-largest healthcare company, being beaten only by UnitedHealth Group. It provides health solutions including CVS Pharmacy, Aetna Health, and CVS Speciality, with associated apps. CVS Health expresses commitment to diversity including employees with disabilities, and is transparent about its hiring process on its website.

HubSpot, a leading provider in digital marketing, sales and customer service tools, training, and support, is based internationally and takes a very flexible, innovative approach to employee location, providing three options for candidates when they join the company. This makes it very attractive for those who desire fully remote work, as well as those who wish to come into the office from time to time.

All roles are eligible to be fully remote, however you have the option of also selecting their flex plan (coming into the local office more than twice a quarter), or their office-based plan if you would prefer in-person work and the office is local to you.

Some of the other employers listed who are hiring and support fully remote and flexible working for their roles, include:

• Creative Financial Staffing (CFS)
• LHH – Lee Hecht Harrison
• UnitedHealth Group
• Prime Therapeutics
• Thermo Fisher Scientific
• Motion Recruitment
• Insight Global
• Circle Internet Financial
• Token Metrics

Many of these employers not only offer remote jobs, but they are proactive about providing you with the opportunity to thrive while working from home, so you do not feel isolated, and to ensure that your role is fully supported so you can deliver your best work. For example, some employers such as HubSpot provide a stipend for working from home, in addition to a Slack hub and extra training resources to enable you to thrive in your job.

Some employers offer a WFH stipend and flexible location options as part of their fully remote ... [+] policy

When searching for employers who are hiring for fully remote jobs, remember to consider the bigger picture. Is remote an afterthought, something that they've shoved into their policy as a way to attract talent, but hasn't been fully thought through? Or is remote working part of a more extensive employee support and development package, in which your wellbeing and professional growth is holistically championed?

Tasmania Is Hiring for a ‘Wombat Walker’ and Other Odd Jobs

The Australian island state is trying to drum up tourism during the Southern Hemisphere’s winter

Daily Correspondent

Searching for a new job? Tasmania is looking for curious, adventurous professionals to fill a wide array of unusual roles—including a “wombat walker,” who will be responsible for taking the stocky marsupials on their morning jaunts and feeding them snacks.

Tasmania has posted a series of “ odd jobs ” in a bid to boost tourism during the Southern Hemisphere’s winter, which runs from June to August. All of the gigs are unpaid, though the local tourism board will cover the cost of travel, lodging and food.

“Do you crave a break from the rinse and repeat of the daily grind?” asks the wombat walker job description . “Swap your day job for an odd job: a uniquely Tasmanian experience designed to shake you by the shoulders and wake you up to the wonders of winter.”

The gigs are designed to offer “creative stimulation; connection to local communities, culture and nature; and making things with your own two hands,” per Tourism Tasmania.

“The stuff that makes us feel alive,” the tourism board adds.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tasmania (@tasmania)

But don’t start updating your resume just yet. Unfortunately, the positions are only open to adults currently residing in Australia. Still, the job descriptions are entertaining to read—and, as intended, they highlight some of what makes Tasmania special.

Wombats, for instance, are stocky animals native to Australia. As marsupials , female wombats carry their young in pouches for about six months after giving birth. While newborn wombats are only about 0.5 inches long , they measure about three feet long as adults. They are known for being quite cute; a few years ago, one Tasmanian island started asking tourists to pledge not to chase them around or try to pick them up.

The wombat walker will work for just one day at a wildlife park in Bicheno, a town on Tasmania’s east coast. This worker will be responsible for tasks such as “[coaxing the wombats] out of bed to get them moving” and “motivating them to complete their morning walks.”

Meanwhile, the “ truffle snuffler ” gig involves hanging out with trained truffle dogs as they search for black winter truffles among oak trees. The successful candidate will also have a chance to taste the delicacies “to ensure they meet the highest standards,” per the listing.

The person who snags the role of “ paranormal investigator ” will be required to spend the night inside the maximum-security ward at Willow Court, one of the oldest asylums in Australia. While there, the investigator will use “the latest ghost-hunting equipment” to help document any unexplained disturbances.

The Australian island state is also looking for a “ wine whisperer ,” a “ cave conductor ,” an “ oyster organizer ” and a “ sauna stoker ,” among other roles.

Tasmanian officials launched the odd jobs initiative to drum up publicity and help tourism rebound to pre-pandemic levels. In 2019, Tasmania saw 1.35 million visitors, compared with 1.25 million last year, per  BBC News ’ Anna Lamche.

During this time of year, the climate in Tasmania can get quite chilly, with highs ranging from the 30s to the 50s.

“As temperatures drop during winter, we know Australians are seeking a well-being boost,” says Lindene Cleary, Tourism Tasmania’s chief marketing officer, to the Australian publication Mediaweek ’s Alisha Buaya.

Time Traveling Through London With an Impressionist Painter

A writer used Camille Pissarro’s paintings of suburban London and a ‘lost’ railway as a lens for exploring the city’s history — and settling an arcane mystery.

In the early 1870s, an émigré painter watched from a railway footbridge as a steam engine left a station on London’s suburban fringe. His name was Camille Pissarro and he was developing a style of plein-air painting that would soon be called “Impressionism.”

Pissarro and a fellow émigré, Claude Monet, only stayed in London for a few months. By April 1874 they were among the painters holding the first Impressionist exhibition in Paris, the subject of a retrospective that runs until July 14 at the Musée d’Orsay and opens on Sept. 8 at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.

But London was one of their early muses. Monet painted the River Thames and the Palace of Westminster, among other central landmarks, while Pissarro captured scenes in suburbs where houses and train tracks were replacing forests and farmland.

I have a special interest in Pissarro’s train painting because it shows the neighborhood where my wife grew up — in a Victorian home rendered as a “smudge” on the Impressionist’s canvas, as my father-in-law says.

The railway, shuttered in the 1950s, is now a nature path where our kids forage for blackberries during visits to their grandparents.

On our last visit, I decided to find out what Pissarro saw in that train, and what his early London paintings tell us about Britain’s Victorian past. I learned that his brushstrokes captured a moment of dramatic urban transformation whose impacts on the city’s layout are still visible today.

My Pissarro project entailed long winter walks, trips to museums, a ride on a vintage locomotive and a dash of investigative reporting around an arcane mystery. My main guide was my father-in-law, a former “ trainspotter ” with a white-hot interest in railroad history.

‘Fog, snow and springtime’

A 1990 history of my in-laws’ area describes the old railway as “lost.” But, like other locations that Pissarro painted in Southeast London, the site where the tracks once ran wasn’t hard to find. I could see it through a bedroom window, just beyond the camellia and winter jasmine.

Pissarro, a Danish citizen fleeing a Paris suburb during the Franco-Prussian War, was used to being an outsider. He had been born on the Caribbean island of St. Thomas to Jewish parents of French descent, and moved to Paris in 1855 after a few years in Caracas.

But he wasn’t completely isolated when he arrived in London with his partner, Julie Vellay, and their two young children in December 1870. They stayed with relatives in the southeastern suburb of Norwood, and he socialized with Monet and other émigré artists at a central cafe run by a French wine merchant.

Pissarro, 40, was frustrated by his lack of commercial success, and his family was homesick. Vellay described the English language as a “succession of curious noises.”

London wasn’t all bad for them, though. It’s where Pissarro and Vellay married; where he met Paul Durand-Ruel, an art dealer who would sell his work for decades; and where he painted several canvases in his formative Impressionist style.

“Monet and I were very enthusiastic over the London landscapes,” he later wrote. “Monet worked in the parks, whilst I, living at Lower Norwood, at that time a charming suburb, studied the effects of fog, snow and springtime.”

Time travel

Pissarro lived near the Crystal Palace, a glass-domed exhibition space that epitomized Victorian Britain’s sense of modernity and had been moved to Southeast London from Hyde Park in the 1850s. But the painter, who worked outdoors in wooden clogs, was more interested in suburban scenes unfolding around the corner.

One of Pissarro’s early London paintings, “ Fox Hill, Upper Norwood ,” shows figures walking on a snow-dusted residential street. When my father-in-law, Alec, drove me there on a blustery December morning, we noticed that many of the same homes were still there.

The winter sky was the same mottled gray that Pissarro liked to paint (and which Cat, my long-expatriated wife, loves to hate). I was struck by how well his muted canvas still captured the area’s rolling hills and refracted sunlight.

Then we noticed two people wandering down the street holding a print of the same painting. What were the odds of that? It turned out they were also Pissarro groupies, searching the present for clues to the past.

“It’s just like time travel,” one of them, Libby Watson, told me. “It’s about the nearest thing you can get to it — isn’t it? — to look at the old buildings and imagine you were there.”

A ‘higgledy piggledy’ city

When Pissarro arrived in London, the city was still expanding in tandem with new railways. The train line he painted in 1871 had opened in 1865 to serve new suburban commuters, as well as tourists traveling to the Crystal Palace from Victoria Station, near Buckingham Palace.

In 1866 or 1867, my in-laws’ house was built beside the line on a street that had been a foot path through fields near the village of Dulwich, whose name derived from an Old English term for “the meadow where dill grows.” The street was in Forest Hill, a newish suburb that, like Norwood, took its name from the Great North Wood , an ancient forest that was mostly cut down as London barreled south in the 19th century.

Not everyone liked the pace of change. The Victorian art critic and social philosopher John Ruskin , who lived in the Dulwich area, complained that fields near his home had been dug up for building sites or cut by the “wild crossings and concurrencies” of railroads.

“No existing terms of language known to me are enough to describe the forms of filth, and modes of ruin,” wrote Ruskin, who left London in 1872 for England’s Lake District.

London’s 19th-century expansion was not well-organized but “higgledy piggledy,” as my father-in-law says, and fueled by railway rivalries. The line Pissarro painted was run by a company that battled a neighboring one for passengers. Both were run by “belligerent characters” who built unnecessary tracks for the sake of competing, according to the railway historian Christian Wolmar.

The competition “resulted in a complex and underinvested network that still causes distress to commuters today,” Mr. Wolmar wrote in “Fire and Steam,” his 2007 history of British railways. And as any Southeast Londoner will tell you, train service in the area remains notoriously patchy.

But for a visiting 19th-century Impressionist, it must have been fascinating to watch a giant city devour countryside in real time.

On the tracks

“ Lordship Lane Station, Dulwich ,” Pissarro’s 1871 train painting, shows a black engine belching smoke as it approaches the viewer on tracks that run through empty fields. A railroad signal — a metal or wooden contraption whose placement indicated whether a train driver should stop or go — hovers overhead in a horizontal position.

Today the scene is almost unrecognizable. The train line closed in 1954, nearly 18 years after the Crystal Palace burned down . Lordship Lane Station was later demolished, and a local bus route was extended to cover the former railway route.

Housing now sits on what was once open land, and the railway bridge Pissarro painted from lies in a nature reserve (and is temporarily closed for renovation).

The sliver of land where tracks once ran past my in-laws’ place has been turned into a nature path .

As for the canvas, it now hangs in central London’s Courtauld Gallery. When we visited in December, I was so busy trying to keep our toddlers from destroying priceless artworks that I didn’t get much of a chance to study it.

But we did get a flavor of Britain’s railway heritage at other points on our trip. One day we took our locomotive-obsessed boys on a steam train ride along the Bluebell Railway , a heritage line outside London. Those tracks were once owned by a railroad company that funded moving the Crystal Palace to Southeast London after the Great Exhibition of 1851 .

The kids also played on trains at the London Transport Museum, where a display informed us that “unstructured” 19th-century growth had transformed the city.

“Lordship Lane” highlights the drama of that transition because Pissarro’s train tracks divide a patch of still-rural land from a newly suburbanized one, Karen Serres, the senior curator of paintings at the Courtauld, told me when I called for a chat.

And unlike many of Pissarro’s other works, “Lordship Lane” doesn’t show any people. When the Courtauld’s staff X-rayed the canvas in 2007, they discovered that a human figure had been painted in a corner of an early version, then painted over.

The train, then, is the main subject. And you can’t avoid it because it’s heading right for you.

The signal in question

“Lordship Lane” is often compared to “Rain, Steam and Speed,” an 1844 landscape painting by J.M.W. Turner . Pissarro and other French Impressionists openly admired English artists, whose work they saw in London’s museums. Art historians have long debated the extent to which the Impressionists were influenced by British painters.

I don’t have a strong opinion about that. But in London, I was very interested in settling another, even more arcane, historical debate.

Specifically, I had been told that “Lordship Lane” is the painting about which the Courtauld receives the most complaints. Among other things, critics apparently argue that Pissarro’s Victorian train signal should have been vertical for “go,” not horizontal for “stop.”

Dr. Serres told me what I’d heard was correct. Over the years, she had changed the museum’s description of the painting after railway enthusiasts flagged mistakes, including its original title of “Penge Station, Upper Norwood.”

But she had never known what to think about suggestions that the signal should be vertical for “go” because the train appears to be idling at the station. Her own impression was that the train was “lightly beyond” the platform and had already been given the signal to proceed. Then again, other details in the painting, including the station and the train smoke, did not look especially accurate.

“It’s very difficult to know how completely accurate these things are, and indeed that wasn’t his point,” she said. “It was to make a beautiful composition.”

My father-in-law said that he tended to think the signal was correct because the train seemed to have already passed the station. But he wasn’t totally sure.

So I called Mr. Wolmar, the author of “Fire and Steam,” who later emailed me to say that he agreed.

“The train is well past the signal so it will have reverted to default which is horizontal,” he wrote.

Mystery solved.

Taylor swift brings travis kelce onstage, performs full skit with him, taylor swift brings travis kelce on london stage ... tuxedo on, skit ready.

• Exclusive Video

Taylor Swift 's mixing business and pleasure -- finally bringing Travis Kelce out onstage with her in London Sunday ... and, we gotta say he nailed the choreography.

The singer-songwriter took the stage in England's capital Sunday -- her third show this weekend -- and, her footballer boyfriend went from spectator to spectacle ... hitting the stage in a tuxedo and top hat.

This all went down during "The Tortured Poets Department" part of her set ... as part of the intro for "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" she pretended to throw a tantrum and collapse to the stage.

Of course ... her better half had to come and rescue her -- picking her up and carrying her to a heart-shaped bed while jovial, upbeat music played.

Check out the clip ... he drops her on the bed before fanning himself while the other two guys in tuxedos continue to care for T-Swift -- and Travis helps encourage her to get back at it with some of his silliest dance moves.

Ultimately, Taylor decides to bravely continue ... and Travis gives her makeup a touchup before running offstage.

Of course, Travis has supported Taylor at every show this weekend ... including Friday when he brought his big bro Jason and sister-in-law Kylie to watch and yesterday when he got chummy with movie star Tom Cruise .

This, however, is the first time he's ever gotten involved in the show despite attending many of her concerts since they started dating ... and, if you listen to the applause -- fans absolutely loved it.

Travis has to head back to Kansas City soon to start gearing up for football season ... so, unclear when he'll get a chance to attend another Taylor show.

But, clearly Swifties want him to know he's always a welcome sight onstage.

So long, London.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift left her third and final Eras Tour show in London hand in hand, as seen in a fan video .

The Kansas City Chiefs player, 34, was spotted waiting for the pop star in an all-white outfit and a bucket hat as she chatted with someone on Sunday.

THEY ARE DRESSED NICE WHERE ARE THEY GOING?! pic.twitter.com/5h9AUKB8aP — Tayvis Nation 🏈🫶🏻 (@tayvisnation) June 23, 2024

After wrapping up her conversation, Swift stepped into frame in a pink dress and heels, reaching for her partner’s hand as they walked down a ramp.

“THEY ARE DRESSED NICE WHERE ARE THEY GOING?!” one X user asked.

Another gushed , “going on a date after a 3+ hour show?! and they say love is dead.”

Swift, also 34, kicked off her England performances on Friday and rolled right into another show on Saturday.

Kelce was spotted at Wembley Stadium for all three concerts, even making a surprise onstage appearance for the final show.

He joined two of her backup dancers during the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” transition, fanning himself during the songwriter’s subsequent wardrobe change.

Swift will have a few days off before hitting the stage in Dublin next week.

Kelce, who is in his NFL offseason, last attended one of his girlfriend’s shows in Paris in May, making headlines for dancing with Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid .

The athlete remained abroad for a Lake Como getaway with Swift.

The couple stayed in a luxurious private villa , which cost $21,000 per night, and he filmed his and brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast from somewhere “in Europe.”

The tight end gushed about Swift’s “unbelievable” skills while urging listeners to catch her upcoming tour stops.

“It has her new ‘Tortured Poets Department,’ a handful of those songs in the new show, which means  there’s a new segment , new lights, new dancing and everything,” Travis said at the time. “I enjoyed every bit of it.”

The three-time Super Bowl winner hadn’t met Swift when he first attended an Eras Tour show in Missouri in July 2023 — although he did try to give her his phone number on a friendship bracelet.

While he was “disappointed” Swift didn’t talk to him at the time, news broke two months later that the duo were dating .

When the “Catching Kelce” alum next attended one of her shows in Buenos Aires in November 2023, the couple were caught on camera embracing and kissing .

He has since watched Swift perform in Singapore and Sydney, showing PDA both times.
