WHO
ARE YOU?
Name - Lee Isherwood
Job Title - Editor
Company - Manchester’s Finest
Hometown - Manchester
DAY JOB:
I have a couple of jobs, I’m a designer by
trade and work on a lot of consumer facing big brand type stuff. Manchester’sFinest is a labour of love that has grown into a shared labour of love between
a few of us. I started it to give really good independent small businesses a
decent platform to shout from for free. I wanted to help people find and try
new things really instead of just going where they know. We’ve now branched out
into arts, events, health, beauty, style etc. There’s also a big emphasis on
the fact that the Finest stuff isn’t necessarily the most expensive, if ever.
CURRENT OBSESSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS:
From an independent blog I really
like thewindowshopper.co.uk
Larger scale I think Port Magazine and Rankin’s new venture HungerTV are way in
front of anything else.
Noma Bar is by far and away my favourite
illustrator at the moment, so good. Came across it through www.ffffound.com which I also think
is fantastic.
AFTER HOURS:
What are you working on right now?
At the moment we’ve just really started
promoting our new sister site www.nqmanchester.com –
it’s great branching out into smaller portions, it means we can really get into
detail and pull out all the greatest stuff within micro communities such as the
Northern Quarter.
Watch this space for our next venture!
