The Secretariat

The BGTW Secretariat is the first point of contact with the Guild and is run jointly by BENITA FINANZIO and ROBERT ELLISON

benita.jpgBenita hails from Melbourne Australia and has strangely decided to make these ‘Fair Isles’ her home since 2005. Robert is from Birmingham in the West Midlands and has lived in London since 1999.

Benita and Robert enjoy travel, good food and a spot of wine (on occasion) and really love to meet new and interesting people. They both live in London and try hard to enjoy all the city has to offer.

Together their work history covers areas as diverse as music composition and performance, education, retail, events and administration. You may find their faces familiar, they have been spotted at Awards Dinners and yearbook launches in support of former BGTW secretariats Charlotte Copeman and Judy Robson.

They took over from Judy in April 2009.

"For habitual travellers to Greece the Peloponnese also offers something of a time machine. Fifteen or twenty years you could still see old men going to their fields on donkey back, old women clad in black preparing vegetables on their doorsteps, main roads blocked by flocks of goats, olives being picked with no more aid than a triangular wooden ladder and a big stick, tractors made from converted lawnmowers, and village shops seemingly unchanged since the 1940s. In the Peloponnese you still can."


Andrew Bostock, Greece: The Peloponnese, (Bradt).
