About me

Some of you might like to know a little bit more about me…

My name is Jennifer Trotman,

I’m 38, and married, with two children aged 13 and 11.

We’ve lived in Axbridge for about 12 years. I’m a “home maker” which means I don’t work in the traditional sense of the word – but I definitely keep busy!  I’ve been an Avon lady up until recently (7 years!), I edit and distribute the local Cheddar & Axbridge paper, I’m a Town Councillor (hence the Mayor bit!), and I’m chair of the Somerset Towns Forum (STF) Steering Group.  I also work as Account Manager for Bike Shepherd, who provide an innovative bike security solution using online registry, social media, and QR code tags to protect bikes from being stolen and to return stolen bikes to their owners.  This year I’m lucky enough to be riding and writing for Cyclosport, and am spreading my cycling journalist wings, which is massively exciting and I can’t wait!  See, I said I was busy! :)
