Who we are?

Kim and Alan are very experienced writers and trained communicators who love to connect with people and hear their stories. We have enlisted the support of a graphics, video and audio expert to produce your story.

Alan Wood

Alan is a writing and communications specialist, and has enjoyed and accomplished career over 30 plus years in journalism and public relations. Having mixed with those living in Sydney, London, Wellington and Christchurch Alan remains passionate about relating to people, their lives and stories. He enjoys collaborating with friend and former journalism colleague Kim. Alan has travelled extensively and returned to the south because of the beautiful people both here, up across the strait and also loves those across the ditch. Good People is all about drawing on those threads of experience and leaving a legacy.

Kim Thomas

As a little girl, Kim dreamed about being a journalist so she could spend her days talking to people and asking them questions about their lives. She realised that dream - working as a reporter in Christchurch and the Bay of Plenty before becoming a writer specialising in health and well-being as her two daughters grew up. Today, Kim still loves talking to people and capturing their special life stories. That's why she started Good People with her friend and former journalism colleague Alan. When she's not working, Kim loves reading, gardening, spending time with her teenagers and op-shopping
