Tracy Ann Essex – Started Benidorm Seriously Facebook group on 9th March 2015
Born in Essex having worked as an Estate Agent, Secretary, Land Lady and Events Organiser. Purchased a property in Torrevieja in 2007 and moved to Spain lock stock and barrel in 2008 where I lived and worked in Torrevieja for 3 years running my own water filter business amongst lots of other things.
Moved to Benidorm in 2011 where I have worked as Door Staff (don´t laugh), Telesales and in various bars and restaurants, and photographer for the Blues Brothers Experience.
Benidorm Seriously is now a full time job and we now have an office open in town which means we are now more accessible to our members to give face to face help and advice, more information and map to the Benidorm Seriously Office can be found HERE
I have experience in all aspects of living and working in Spain, even divorce lol.
Derek Blevins
Born in Portadown, Co Armagh (a long time ago) I have been living and working in Benidorm since January 2010.
An entertainer from Northern Ireland who performed as Jake Blues, part of the very successful Blues Brothers Experience show here in Benidorm and throughout the Costa Blanca.
While assisting with some of the day to day admin my main role is more of a technical nature, with the website, forum and music page. I am semi retired from the entertainment business, but still open to help out if stand ins are needed. It is in the blood so still need the odd gig from time to time.
“My role in admin is to write the sarcastic comments which keep the girls busy at night lol”
Meet the Team
Hazel McIntosh - Administrator
I’m originally from Scotland. I’d been coming to Benidorm on holiday regularly for 11 years and was starting to come over more and more. So, I decided to move here in February 2019. The Benidorm Seriously webpage was my go-to for finding out about everything I needed to live in Spain.
I started as an Admin with Benidorm Seriously in the March 2019 and I’m absolutely loving it. The team are really helpful and a great bunch.
I was previously an Admin Assistant with the local Council back in Scotland and prior to that worked in accountancy and legal firms. I’m also a self-employed transcriptionist, which fits around the Benidorm Seriously work perfectly.
DAVE ROLAND - MODERATOR
