Sean Gillen's Pages

Sean Gillen was one of the most talented students I have met in a long time. He produced work that constantly received A grades and ended up with a First. He went subsequently to Lancaster University, winning a competitive scholarship, to take his MA in Leisure and Tourism -- and did very well there too. He is also a really nice bloke. I am really pleased  to be able to publish his work in this format.
