Alex Northcott, our CEO, founded the original PR database Gorkana in 2004, sold it in 2010, and returned in 2015 with a desire to better the system.

Luzia’s primary responsibility is to build and enrich the core data of Roxhill and ensure that all data is GDPR compliant. At Roxhill, our UK-based data team researchers take pride in curating some of the most up-to-date and ever-present data to ensure you never miss the mark on your pitches and constantly stay ahead of the crowd. In her free time, Luzia loves to socialise with friends and family – “You can always find me with a frozen strawberry daiquiri in my hand, exercising, spending time with my nieces and nephews as the ‘cool auntie’ or watching a bit of TV!”
Dan is the one responsible for the recent revamp of our PR software. He’s been working in Design & UX for over 11 years, but his Roxhill career began in 2021 when he joined our tech team. He is passionate about creating efficient platforms, seamless user journeys and always looks for ways to improve PRs’ jobs through technology.

So whenever anyone presses the help button or emails help@roxhillmedia.com, it’s his job to answer, add or update any profiles from feedback and to pass the larger projects onto the research team.
“I’m a big fan of going for a pint in the local pub with mates, visiting the countless number of museums and galleries in London, and going to a session of Scottish Reeling in the evenings!”
