Jacqueline Elmore, assistant editor, Cuckfield Life

By David Tingley

Following a varied career in journalism, from television to local newspapers and from charities to national magazines, Jacqueline Elmore has returned to her roots both creatively and physically and I am excited to announce that she has become the new Assistant Editor at Cuckfield Life.

Jacqueline grew up locally and has lived in Cuckfield since 2013. “I spent some time away in New York, West London and Berkshire but always knew that I would one day return to this area. I even managed to drag my boyfriend (now husband) with me towards his in-laws!”, said Jacqueline.

“We adore living in Cuckfield. My husband, a sceptic at first, often comments on how much he enjoys being part of the community and living in such a beautiful village. The fact that everything from local pubs to boutique fashion outlets sit right on our doorstep is an added bonus.”

Jacqueline is now fully integrated into Cuckfield Life and is already setting up interviews for next month’s edition. She would love to hear from any local residents, groups or societies who would like to share their stories for our Village People feature or perhaps want to reach out and get their message heard by the community.

Jacqueline’s role supports all aspects of editorial content, so do drop her, or me, an email to editor@ cuckfieldlife.co.uk when you have a suggestion or news item or event to mention. Our strapline is ‘local village talk by the village’ and, as such, we love to hear from our readers.

Please join me in welcoming Jacqueline to our special magazine.
