THE BEST BRISBANE TEAM

Eleanor Fletcher

Eleanor Fletcher

CEO, Co-founder

Eleanor Fletcher has always been fascinated with Australia's beautiful landscapes, culture, and history. When attending university, Eleanor discovered her passion for journalism as well and combined it with her love of the country to earn a reputation as a student-writer doing heartwarming stories on Brisbane residents. She later became a beat reporter for a local paper before rising up the ranks to become an editor. At some point, she got together with friends to start our site, where she hopes to provide guides and authentic reviews for the city’s shops and services. When she’s not overseeing our work at HQ, she enjoys composing poetry and likes to travel frequently for inspiration.

Ian Atkins

Staff Writer

Ian grew up in Brisbane and currently lives in the city with his family. Originally from St James College, he majored in Commerce at the University of Southern Queensland. He has worked largely in the claims and financial analysis field since then. However, don’t let that fool you into thinking Ian is chained to his desk. One of his favourite pastimes is simply enjoying the great outdoors by walking Brisbane. He is also a huge fan of eating out and can often be found out in the city or checking out what’s happening at Queen Street Mall.

That being said, he’s someone who just loves digging into new things at heart, so his review portfolio for us is very large and varied in its coverage.

How do we make our reviews?


From user interviews to our own testing, we pull out all the stops to provide reviews based on solid evidence and experience. If that means hiring a service provider and then making things difficult for them just to check how they fare in less-than-ideal circumstances, we’ll do it.

This way, we can truly help other consumers sift through the many options available for their needs. You can learn more about our methods by clicking on the link below.

How do we make money?


The Best Brisbane is supported by readers. This indicates that we can sometimes get commissions if you buy services or items through links on our site.

Rest assured that we don’t base our reviews on commissions, however. We recommend only things that we’ve tested and judged to be worthy of recommendation, and never sell reviews or praise to service providers.
