Meet the Team
Danny Layzell – Digital Marketing Project Manager (incumbent)
After growing up in the Ribble Valley, I spent much of my professional career working in international education on the South Coast of England before moving to Manchester at the end of 2017.
I have a degree in Politics, a level 6 diploma in Digital Marketing and I am working towards becoming a chartered marketer. As well as working in international education, I previously worked as a freelance digital marketer which is where I was first introduced to AZoNetwork. I joined the team in 2020.
As well as digital and politics, I am passionate about most sports mainly rugby and cricket. A life-long Manchester United fan more recently I became a Dallas Cowboy supporter! Travelling has become a real interest for me and I dream of travelling alongside the ‘Barmy Army’ (England cricket fans) in the future.
I have enjoyed this role massively and would recommend it highly. I have now been asked to step up and take the lead for our webinar and virtual events business which has recently been brought back in house.
Sara Lopez Segura – Graphic Design & Marketing Co-ordinator
I am originally from southern Spain. I always had a passion for telling stories and have a degree in Journalism, a degree in Audio-visual Communication and a level 3 Distinction diploma in Digital Marketing.
I started my career in 2014, in the Design department of a language academy in Madrid as part of my University course. At the beginning of 2016, I moved to Manchester whilst working on completing my second degree course. Feeling two degrees were not enough, I undertook a level 3 Digital Marketing apprenticeship, managing everything Marketing & Design for hair and beauty brands.
Apart from Marketing, I love anything creative. This includes illustration, crafting and crocheting. My rural upbringing has also given me a surprising amount of knowledge about farming and cats.
