I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jan over a period of three years for Harrods Magazine. Jan is a fantastic art director – she is precise, driven, committed, decisive and a great communicator. Jan has the right energy and agility needed to allow the creatives on set to flourish whilst always staying focused on delivering tangible results – often under challenging circumstances.

“Jan is one of the nicest and most diligent journalists I’ve ever worked with. It is rare to find thoroughness and accuracy these days - but Jan has it in spades.”

"As editor of Harrods Magazine, Jan was super-supportive to Boodles and the magazine has become a complete beacon in the luxury world. Well done”
Michael Wainwright, Managing Director, Boodles
"One of my fond - and seemingly regularly occurring - memories of Jan is her presence at the Fragrance Foundation's Jasmine Awards. It was as though Jan would barely have a moment to sit back down in her seat after accepting an award as she would be up collecting another ... and this seemed to happen year after year. Funny as this anecdote is, it really illustrates something particular: the sheer quality of the editorial that Jan produces. Her ability and commitment to creating content that is at once engaging, informative and stunning to look at, really is quite awe-inspiring. Jan is very highly respected in the industry and for very good reason. She is a powerhouse of an editor and I have sincerely enjoyed every minute of working with her over the years"
Perfumer, Roja Dove.
" May I congratulate you on the most exquisite Watches & Fine Jewellery magazine. It is stunningly beautiful and makes for the most engaging, vivid and dynamic read. It also looks breathtakingly beautiful and is so creatively sophisticated. It is a joy to work with you and your talented and visionary team."
Head of Marketing and Communications, Moussaieff Jewellers Ltd, and former head of UK Communication at Bvlgari.
“I’ve known Jan for over 15 years and have always found her to be a true professional. She writes about travel in a genuinely compelling and inspiring way, and produces beautiful photography to boot. Most importantly, she achieves all this with a sense of humour and a smile on her face - what a joy it is to work with her! Thank you Jan.”
Angela Maini, Luxury Director, Four Travel
“Jan Masters is a special person. I am sure that her full-time career should really have been as a ballet dancer, but in her spare time she has choreographed her way through an entirely different career in journalism, producing work of the highest order.
Recently, Jan came to share that journey with a group of students at Kingston University Business School, under the auspices of the Kingston Business Society. The audience was captivated from the very beginning and became ever more so as her presentation continued. I could not have wished for a more engaging guest presenter. As one of the students remarked afterwards, ‘ What a fabulous talk. There is so much care, commitment and creativity that goes into every detail of her work.’
Kingston University is very much looking forward to future contributions from Jan.”
Graham Walker, Senior Lecturer in Management at Kingston Business School.
"I have known Jan Masters for many years, both through her work as a journalist and also as a marketing copywriter. She always asks incisive questions and has an eye for clarity and detail, which she combines with a flair for engaging creativity. She has a wealth of knowledge and is a pleasure to work with.”
