The founding partners of RP include a unique blend of editorial and commercial expertise. They are James Beechinor-Collins former editor-in-chief of T3, Mike Cooper former editor of T3.co.uk and Clive Swan former MD of EMI and Internet entrepreneur.

Since the company started in early 2007, the team has expanded to include two full time editors and a collection of the finest freelance talent in technology.

James Beechinor-Collins - jbc@republicpublishing.co.uk
Editor in chief
When he’s not tapping out stories, editing copy or irritating everyone else, JBC tries to ensure our clients are happy, the sums all add up, our servers are serving and there’s coffee in the pot. Every few weeks he also shows up on Sky News to talk about the latest stories on the web.

Mike Cooper - mike@republicpublishing.co.uk
Editorial director
With his hand firmly on the editorial tiller, Coopinho keeps a watchful eye over all things words and pictures, making sure all the sites are up to date, the writers are turning out the right copy and we have an editorial plan that extends beyond our fingers. He’s also quite handy with video.

Clive Swan - clive@republicpublishing.co.uk
Chairman and business development
Despite the lofty title, Clive likes to get his hands dirty. When he’s done with that he keeps his eye on our strategic vision, asks awkward questions about money and makes very interesting suggestions about editorial. When we’re nice to him he opens his contact book, gets on the phone and makes a lot of stuff happen.

James Holland - james.holland@electricpig.co.uk
Editor, Electricpig
If you want to know what Apple’s going to do next, then James is your man. When he’s not sniffing out the latest news truffles though, he’s glad-handing PRs, schmoozing the industry or, occasionally, having a drink somewhere. He’s also a regular on the BBC’s Asian Network.

Ben Sillis - ben.sillis@republicpublishing.co.uk
Reporter
The newest member of the team spends his time scouring the halls of gadget and tech exhibitions, sniffing out news truffles in the darkest of press launches and generally getting out and about on behalf of Republic’s sites. If you’ve got a news nugget or a new product you’d like to share, make sure Mr Sillis is on your list. He’s also the one who manages pressinfo@republicpublishing.co.uk
