JUSTINE MCGUINESS

JUSTINE McGUINNESS (37) (Campaign Manager)
A FORMER parliamentary candidate from Dorset played a major role in the hunt for little Madeleine McCann. Justine McGuinness, who grew up in Bradford Peverell and now lives in Herrison near Dorchester, was manager of the Find Madeleine campaign. The former Lib Dem candidate for West Dorset finished second behind Conservative MP Oliver Letwin in the 2005 general election. She was chosen for the position by Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry because of her background in politics and lobbying. Miss McGuinness, who has her own PR company, has worked in strategic communications for 11 years. She left the campaign under poor terms when she submitted an excessive over-time and expenses bill making her a total income of £51,000 for 89 days work.

SHERRIE DODD

SHEREE DODD (PR Spokesperson)
First to arrive in Portugal was a former Mirror journalist and long-term government spokesperson called Sheree Dodd. In an unprecedented move, the Government took over news-handling on behalf of the McCanns. Sheree Dodd, a former Daily Mirror journalist and long-serving senior spokeswoman for the Government, was dispatched to Portugal. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office announced that she was being deployed as “press officer responsible to act as media liaison officer for the McCann family”. Sheree Dodd was formerly Director of Communications at the Department for Trade and Industry where she had responsibility for media handling, stakeholder relations, marketing and e-communications. Prior to that post she led the news and media relations operations at the Department for Work and Pensions and the Northern Ireland Office. Before joining government communications she enjoyed an extensive career as a political and industrial correspondent on The Mirror newspaper. Sheree is Managing Director of SC Dodd Comms Ltd, which provides advice and delivers communication solutions to a wide range of public and private sector clients. But Dodd was swiftly replaced by the more senior and bombastic figure of Clarence Mitchell, who took a pro-active role, orchestrating a visit to meet the Pope and a tour which took in Spain, Germany and Morocco.

JOHN HILL

JOHN HILL (Manager of the Mark Warner Ocean Club)
the manager at the Mark Warner resort, John Hill, said there was no definite physical evidence that the girl had been abducted. "It's still questionable as to whether it's an abduction," he said. "We are hoping that Madeline is found as soon as possible and safe and well." Mr Hill said the police had been doing all they could. He said around 60 staff and guests at the complex had searched until 4.30am while police notified border police, Spanish police and airports. "There is a criminal investigator here in charge of the situation and around 20 officers but unfortunately there is still no information,"
