I’m an NCTJ-qualified journalist who started out with the Press Association and Sky Sports, and I’ve now been getting paid to write stuff for nearly 30 years.
About
I could tell you I’m passionate about words, but nobody needs to hear that, so…
Made in Manchester, I’ve been getting paid to write things since 1998 – the year Google was founded, MrBeast was born and DVDs were first sold in the UK. Friends and acquaintances* say I look younger (* but specifically not family – my children tend to mention dinosaurs when talking about my age), so that’s something.
Pizeezee is the name I’ve been working under since going freelance not long after Covid. When you get in touch, it's me you'll talk to. And when there's something to research, someone to interview or words to write, it's me who'll do it.
Yes, it is pronounced like that. And no, I’m not sure it’s a very professional business name either.
I’ve created content for some of the biggest organisations in their fields, helped some of the smallest SMEs around, and worked with plenty in between.
Along the way, I’ve written about health innovation, landmine clearance and digital transformation – as well as carpets, fencing and paving stones. From crafting snappy social media posts to producing in-depth impact reports.
