About
For the last 28 years I’ve been writing in one marketing guise or other - cars, coffee, TV, cruise missiles, utilities, mobile phones, solar energy, cognac, vacuum cleaners. Yes, cruise missiles. I’ve suited-up in huge PLCs and played pool with bearded millennials in agencies that lasted about a week and a half. I’ve been promoted and I’ve been fired. And I’ve been to awards after-parties that I’m pretty sure are still going on today.
I love to write and always have done. There’s no secret ingredient in my creative process - I’m not Coke. But I’m inquisitive, business-minded, flexible and personable. If you’re passionate about what you do, we’ll get on fine.
I’m based in Cirencester, home of the greatest cycling roads under God’s blue heaven. But I also have a really fast motorbike so can come and meet you, wherever you are.
If you’re an environmental or animal protection charity, I’ll probably work for free. Otherwise, ask me for a quote
What I do
Thanks for visiting my website. Those are not my actual hands.
I am currently working for a number of clients in the FMCG, banking, investment management, law, fashion, communications, technology, leisure, digital payments, medical and construction sectors.
I write web copy, whitepapers, speeches, press ads, presentations, blogs, DM packs, award entries, company vision and values, bids, case studies, TED talks, and brand positioning papers.
Basically, if it involves words, I’m in.
