I spent much of my career in sales, marketing and business development roles, so I understand how important it is to focus on the customer in order to achieve results. In the digital age, messages are competing for attention everywhere and it's vital that, to be heard above the clamour, your message captures reader attention using focused content that's expressed in the right tone of voice. To do this takes writing skill and time but will pay dividends.
I’ve always loved words and wrote pieces for the student newspaper at university. My first job was as a copy editor with Penguin Books - fantastic training that I’ve drawn on ever since. I was in book publishing for twenty years, mainly in sales and marketing roles, and subsequently started my own business selling books to big brands for promotional use. More recently, I spent ten years as marketing and business development manager with a top twenty accountancy firm. For the last twelve years, I’ve been running my own copywriting business, Results Department, providing copywriting, editing and proofreading services mainly to SME businesses. I work with clients in Thame, Oxford, Oxfordshire, Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, and West London. Recent projects have been undertaken for clients in sectors such as hospitality and event management, business services, stress and mental health management, and building conservation.
I’m also involved in voluntary work in my town of Thame: I write press releases for the Players Theatre (a popular theatre run entirely by volunteers), help promote our guided Midsomer Tours (Thame is a hub for Midsomer Murders filming locations), and I'm a member of the town's Visitor Economy Working Group.
When I’m not working, I love listening to classical music and reading, and I’m also a foodie who loves cooking. An important member of the household is our enthusiastic and very handsome golden retriever-poodle cross (groodle) who loves to be taken for walks twice a day.
