Our Team

Inkwell is a team of Bristol-based writers, editors, marketers, designers and videographers, all brought together by a shared love of hard work, high-quality content and Mariah Carey’s 1995 song ‘Fantasy’.

  • Chris Goodfellow, Founder and CEO

    Chris worked as a business journalist and editor for over a decade. The entrepreneurs he wrote about inspired him to take the leap and start his own business. These days Chris focuses on client strategy and building the team. Outside of work he loves his kids, books and basketball.

    With almost a decade of content creation under her belt, sun-seeking and karaoke-loving Amalie manages our client projects, developing strategies to bring their ideas to life. Away from her desk, she’s happiest watching live music, exploring new places, and staying active on two feet or two wheels.

  • Siân Cahill, Staff Writer

    Staff writer Siân works on anything and everything our clients need, using her passion for great copy to create compelling, audience-driven content. When she's not crafting copy and spotting typos a mile off, Siân is usually baking, watching superhero films, or playing golf (badly, but having a great time).
