George Hopkin

[+] MediaNetworkers.co.uk: I'm always looking to connect with *media and web business professionals* to share knowledge and leads.
 
I'm what is known as a 'warm' networker, in that I like there to be some professional synergy between us to ensure we're a good networking match.

Update: As of February 2010 I am Head of Digital Development for Dubai-based Motivate Publishing.
 
A journalist by trade - having started out on regional newspapers in the UK in the late 1980s - I moved to Dubai in 1996. Apart from 18 months spent in France, the UK and the US I have lived and worked in the UAE ever since.
 
I struck out on my own in December 2004 with Pressventures (http://www.pressventures.com). I created Pepped Web Services (http://www.pepped.com) when the web solutions side of business proved just as popular as the media services offered by Pressventures.
 
Pressventures and Pepped now offer around two dozen sites and services between them and attract more than 1.5 million hits each month.
