Peter (36) qualified as a Barrister after leaving University, specialising in Criminal Law. In 1993 he left the Bar to plan the launch of a new London newspaper - Tonight. The title, which was the first UK newspaper to be produced and sent to press digitally, rolled off the presses in July 1994 with a circulation of 100,000. In 1996 we decided to embrace new technology one stage further and Tonight was reborn on the web as LondonNet...

Emilie was born in the middle of the French Loire Valley (famous for its wine). After 22 years living in the lovely countryside she decided to move to a bigger city and came to London. She started as a waitress in an Irish pub in Leicester Square, where she learnt two things: One, it would have been really clever to learn English before moving to London. Two, a smile is a really polite answer if you don't understand a customer. After a six months she decided to find a job where she could finally work during day time, have week ends and sit down ... and two years later, she joined the LondonNet team.
