In spite of tempting her with piles of Owen Wilson DVDs, ASOS vouchers and front row seats at the Kidderminster and district fashion show Shiny's own Anna Wintour (though much nicer) Gemma Cartwright has decided the time is right to move on.

What can I say other than I am very sad she is going and that I wish her very well in her future role, which she'll tell you all about very soon if you follow her at Twitter @GemmaCartwright

Gemma played a massive role in the development of Shiny and is directly responsible for some of our most successful blogs. We will miss her like hell.

Good luck Gemma
