Bloomer has been at the online magazine for 12 years in various roles, including producer, associate editor, senior editor and features editor.

He’s brilliant at assigning and editing, unparalleled when it comes to packaging, driven to make all of our work hit with our readers, a delightful colleague and terrific at coming up with ideas for the business side to take out in the world.”
