Pauline Brightling, Leader of Harris Park Group

While Pauline is undoubtedly the Group’s business visionary, she also excels at the attention to detail needed to turn a vision into reality. With more than 30 years professional experience, Pauline is renowned for her ability to identify and focus on the crucial issues. She quickly gets to the heart of matters by listening to others and from there determines what needs to be done, the skills and people who can make it happen and the resources needed to get on with the job.

Pauline’s professional training as a veterinarian ensures that Harris Park Group’s approach is grounded in scientific analysis and rigorous thought. Her experience in tertiary teaching and business management set the Group’s foundations.

Anne Hope, Projects Manager

When the creative ideas are flying around the room, Anne’s fingers race across the keyboard. She turns our excitement into impressive project logic accompanied by detailed task lists.
Anne leaves no doubt about the deadlines, or what we are each responsible for delivering! Sounds scary; but actually she makes it easy for us to make the transition from creative enthusiasm to focussing on tangible outcomes. Her project plans are always ‘do-able’ and have inbuilt tracking systems. It means we trouble-shoot emerging issues long before they become a problem.

A veterinarian and epidemiologist by training, Anne’s technical input ensures our creative innovations are rigorous and scientifically sound.

Natalie Davey, Projects Officer

Natalie commands the engine room of Harris Park Group. She is the link between the Group’s core team members and our professional associates. We are constantly amazed by her exceptional organisational skills and her willingness to break new ground by trying new technologies. Not only does she make sure things get done in time, Natalie also makes sure they are completed to a high standard.

Nat has a science background (Zoology and Animal Welfare) and experience as an editor and educational designer of textbooks, teaching resource materials and electronic publications. Her scientific training and years in publishing mean she has an eagle eye for detail as well as for design and professional accuracy.

Helen Pitman, Finance Plus Manager

Helen looks after our bottom line. She’s the one who keeps us on our toes and makes sure our projects deliver within budget. As well as managing the financial side of all our projects, Helen makes sure we meet our contractual obligations, especially reporting and regulatory compliance.

Helen is much more than a number cruncher. Her business management qualifications, human resource expertise and experience in the television production industry means she’s seen it all before, and no challenge is insurmountable.

As product designer, Andrea brings ideas to life. She develops resources and tools that work for the end-user.
