We’re responsible for all marketing and PR for E&H and so have the privilege of talking about what’s going on at Goodwood all year round, raising awareness of often less well- known parts of the estate (for now!). Within E&H you have the Hotel, Farmer, Butcher, Chef, Goodwood Cottages, Health & Wellbeing and Retreats, Golf At Goodwood, The Kennels, Hound Lodge, Goodwood House, the Aerodrome and Motorcircuit Cafe’s, M&E and Weddings, so there’s always so much going on and plenty to talk about.
Where do you live
Bradley lives in a campervan called Phoebe, Kate’s living her best life by the sea in Worthing, Miranda’s in a little hamlet called Nutbourne (try the tomatoes!) and Alyssa lives in Southampton.

Tell us something amazing you’ve done in the last year
Kate published a book! It’s called Big, Bold, Beautiful and it’s all about helping people create an empowered, purpose driven life. Bradley travelled round the UK in a campervan and documented his travels on @thebastenjourney. Miranda swam with a whale shark in the Flores Sea and Alyssa has been living in Australia and travelled the east coast.
Who should people speak to if they want help
Any of us! Kate’s fabulous for overall mentorship, but if it’s an E&H question then we’re all ears and are here to help however we can. If you’re hoping to send in some content for the monthly videos that go out on Goodwood Instagram, Bradley’s your man – please do get involved!

What are you working on at the moment
We are passionate about shining a light on the wonder and excitement of every single day at Goodwood. We’ve started to plan out 2025 and our campaigns will have a much more seasonal focus, celebrating what you can forage, what’s on the menu that’s in season, what’s going on at the farm and what you are all up to as we gear up to what we do best - the summer events. We’re also gearing up for Christmas and are currently having a big push on The Kennels Vintage Market ahead of Revival.
Best place for lunch (other than Farmer, Butcher, Chef obviously)
Miranda is evangelical about the hot pots you can buy at the Farm Shop. Farmer, Butcher, Chef is also fantastic if you want to take your family out for a delicious meal, especially right now in the sunny courtyard with live music on Friday evenings.
How do you spend your evenings
Kate and Alyssa will be at a Pilates or group strength training class, Bradley will be pootling around in the van, whilst Miranda will be wrestling her 1 and 4 year old to bed, sigh.
What would you do if you weren’t in E&H Marketing?
We’d be travelling the world documenting our adventures, living in Ibiza (North side – the hippy side), enjoying a cocktail and a book on a sandy beach or living in Norway, zooming around from island to island on a boat.
