Edward J Burke-Timon’s Summary

Timon is honourable, intelligent and competent displaying an easy-going nature and an extremely hands-on approach. A dynamic and charming host, he enlivens social events with personality, panache and generosity of character.

Currently seeking projects and full time work, he contracts with various organisations. Timon is now producing private events, cabarets and a fashion show in London, as well as occasional website design.

At the beginning of 2008 Timon was curator to a major exhibition, AmoraLondon.com, the world's first state-of-the-art touch-technology-driven visitor attraction about Love and Sexuality, marking a natural progression towards greater mainstream appreciation of sexuality and the erotic, before returning to concentrate on his first literary passion, The Erotic Review.

As an agile and perceptive communicator he has thus far enjoyed a varied and interesting career, most recently in the publishing industry. Timon is looking to build on his business and journalism experience, actively seeking opportunities in the worlds of writing, media and show business.

Adaptable to many scenarios, from shop floor to boardroom, possessing a quick & creative mind; Timon is an innovative solution finder, able to take varied projects from conception through to completion under tight deadlines and to agreed budgets.

He very much enjoys public presentation being a natural debater, performer and orator. Articulate with well turned phraseology, Timon has great presence and authority when speaking on almost any given subject.

Producing copy to order, he is an insightful writer with a nose for a good story well told. He has varied broadcast experience in television & radio ranging from interviews to literature and to 'expert' opinion. Most recently interviewed as an expert on modern sexuality for channel five's Generation Sex series, to air later this year.
