Steve McDowellSteve McDowell, editor and tea-maker.

Steve has over-all responsibility for most things on iBall. He has been in journalism for nearly 20 years and in financial for more than a decade. He has written for and edited numerous titles, both trade and consumer, regional and national and sometimes even sober.

Alison BellAlison Bell, presenter

Alison knows more about broadcasting than the rest of us, being as she has anchored for CNN International, the BBC, ITN 24 and Sky News as well as radio. She’s proper telly – just ask a tabloid editor if you don’t believe us.


Richard Beddard, ideas and dodgy trainers.

Richard, who doubles as interactive investor’s stock market editor, doesn’t really approve of silliness in investing because he is actually quite serious about it. His investment blog can be read at http://blog.iii.co.uk


Richard Noble, camera work and post-production.

Richard Noble, camera, post-production and gritty Northern humour. Rich fits neatly into the team because before joining iBall he managed a West End bar for 10 years.


Tim Huckle, online and techie stuff.

Tim and the group IT team turned the iBall idea in to reality using a huge number of keyboard strokes on one hand whilst keeping things whirring away with the other… A bunch of clever people that sigh a lot.
