Meet the founders
Heloise Laight

Heloise joined Agora’s London office in 1992 as a marketing assistant. Her marketing skills were quickly recognised and she eventually rose to become Marketing Director and then Director of Publishing.
During her time at Agora she built a superstar team of direct marketers and went on to recruit and train key staff in the UK, France, South Africa and Australia.
She co-founded Canonbury Publishing Ltd with her husband Nick in 2003. Since then they have worked with experts across a wide range of subjects to publish scores of educational and training products & services to their audience of over 60,000 subscribers.
Nick Laight

Like Heloise, Nick spent his formative years at global financial publishing giant Agora in their London office as a copywriter.
Fascinated by every aspect of the information publishing business, Nick held numerous high profile roles including Editorial Director, Digital Publishing Director and Publisher.
As well as helping individuals and businesses through Canonbury, Nick has held the chair of Specialised Information Publishers Association (SIPA) and copy chief at The American Writers & Artists Institute (AWAI). He is an in-demand speaker, business consultant and mentor.
Outside of ‘work’ Nick is occasionally found Djing obscure music, creating digital art and twiddling the knobs on his analog synthesiser!
