blooloop is delighted to announce the appointment of Owen Ralph as Editor.
Working with the existing team, he will be responsible for managing content across blooloop.com, including the daily newsletter, as well as writing features and editing contributions from guest writers and industry experts.

He was recently appointed to the Europe and Middle East board of the TEA (Themed Entertainment Association).
A Fantastic Addition to the Team
“I’m delighted to be joining blooloop,” says Owen. “I’ve been an admirer of Charlie and Rachel’s efforts for some years. I have watched with interest as the business has evolved to become such a popular source of information and networking for the attractions industry. I look forward to writing for professionals not just in the theme park and waterpark sectors, but also museums, zoos and aquariums, who I know are an important part of the blooloop readership.”
Commenting on the new appointment, Charlie Read, MD blooloop says, “We are really pleased to have Owen on board. He brings with him a wealth of industry experience and is a fantastic addition to the team as we continue to develop and grow the business.”
In his spare time, Owen enjoys visiting a diverse range of attractions, including the occasional funfair and music festival. He also runs a cake club and plays the “very northern” sport of crown green bowls in his home city of Manchester, England.
