About Lesley Williams

Jonathan has been Cicerone's managing director for over 20 years, working with authors and leading the development of the range. Lesley has been Cicerone's marketing director, leading Cicerone's sales efforts and now concentrating on the overall marketing strategy. Although they met at sea, they quickly gravitated to the mountains and trekking, before taking on Cicerone to communicate their passion for mountains, wild places and other journeys on foot or by bike. Based on the edge of the Lake District, they have few excuses for not spending days in the hills but do need to get out more. They would like to thank the whole Cicerone team for allowing them to moonlight as authors.
