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 which gave me fantastic training, that has served me well ever since.
I have spent much of my 40-years-plus career in sales, marketing and business development roles. I worked for several of the top book publishers for twenty years, mainly in sales and marketing roles, and subsequently started my own business selling books to big brands for promotional use. My next role was working for a sales promotion agency, before spending ten years as marketing and business development manager with a top twenty accountancy firm.
Since 2009 I’ve been running my own copywriting business, Results Department, providing copywriting, editing and proofreading services to businesses and individuals. I can work with clients anywhere but they tend to be mainly in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Recent projects have included editing the memoirs of an eminent neurosurgeon, drafting newsletters and press releases for the International Stress Management Association, and editing a book on infrastructure development in Africa.
I have just had a new website created which focusses on my skills in copywriting, copy editing and proofreading, especially for book authors.

I’m also involved in voluntary work in my town of Thame: I write press releases for Thame Players Theatre Company (who own the popular Players Theatre, run entirely by volunteers), and help to promote our guided Midsomer Walking Tours of Thame (a major destination for Midsomer Murders filming locations).
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.
