Mr. Christopher Lloyd has had a broad and comprehensive career as a journalist, author, publisher and lecturer.

Mr. Lloyd graduated from Peterhouse, Cambridge in 1991 with a double first-class degree in History. 

After graduated from the university, he served as journalist for The Sunday Times newspaper.  In 1997, he launched the first Internet edition of The Sunday Times and became its Internet editor.  In 1997 Mr. Lloyd co-founded LineOne, a joint venture Internet Service business and became its editorial director.  In 1999 he proposed the development of a network of internet related businesses at News International, and created new revenues for the newspaper business.

In January 2001, Mr. Lloyd was recruited to become chief executive of Immersive Education, an education software publishing company.  He grew the company from its R&D phase with zero revenue to sales of in excess of ₤3 million.

In 2006 he left Immersive Education to spend time travelling around Europe with his wife and two children, both of whom are home-educated. The time spent on the road travelling around Europe inspired him to come up with the concept of What on Earth Happened? At present, “What on Earth Happened? The Complete Story of Planet, Life and People from the Big Bang to the Present Day” and “What on Earth Evolved? 100 Species that Changed the World” are in published.

In February 2010 he set up a new publishing venture to pioneer new ways of telling global narratives using illustrated publications that can be read like conventional books or unfolded and stuck on a wall (read about the ethos and aims of What on Earth Publishing Ltd). The company’s first book, The What on Earth? Wallbook has sold more than 50,000 copies in the UK and has been translated into vairious languages.  There is a series of FIVE Wallbook in development, four of which have been published.

Mr. Lloyd now divides his time between writing, publishing and giving lectures throughout the UK and internationally to schools, universities, museums and literary festivals.
