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, Managing Director

    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.
