UK Copywriters Directory

Over a 30-year career (yes, it really is that long!), I've written and edited copy for pretty much every sector - and probably yours. When I'm fuelled by a mug of tea, you'll find me unstoppable. I can turn from writing a case study on healthcare in the morning to thinking up a marketing slogan for workspace specialists after lunch and editing an annual report for a charity in the afternoon. I understand the pressures that you are under and the challenges you face, because I've hopped over the client fence twice – once as head of visual identity at ING Barings and then as head of PR and communications at Regus. I can help you execute your content strategy, giving you more time to spend on what you do best. You can rely on me to capture the essence of what you want to say, in the right tone of voice, and communicate your vision across case studies, blogs, emails, websites, product materials and newsletters. I'm a dab hand at editing and proofreading, too.

You'll have the reassurance that any copywriting I do for you has nearly 40 years’ specialist experience behind it - including writing for global brands and on award-winning work. I also run copywriting courses, and have trained several thousand delegates throughout Britain and beyond, including for household name organisations. I just love the power of words (I write in my spare time too). So how can I help? Get in touch to chat about freelance support or about enhancing/refreshing the skills of your in-house team with copywriting training/mentoring. You can email me for a standard agenda or I can create one for your team.

Lovely words from happy clients: “Helen was a joy to work with from start to finish. Her understanding of websites – from content to content management systems – was invaluable. Helen delivered exactly what we wanted.” – Lisa Keys, Minerva Heritage on behalf of Hadrian’s Wall Country “Helen is utterly fantastic. She spends a lot of time listening to you and understanding your brand and vision to ensure she captures your voice in her writing. She has an eye for detail and understands what works and what doesn’t. Helen also knows what Google likes versus what the human likes and marries the two seamlessly. I really can’t recommend her highly enough.” - Ally Taylor, founder of MoveWell Fitness “Just wanted to thank you in writing for your sterling work over the last few months. Your knowledge allied to your enthusiasm have helped us get through a very difficult period.” - Richard Payne, Communications Manager for Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority “I was truly impressed by the level of feedback and suggestions in Helen’s website MOT. It was such a useful, pain free exercise I asked her to revamp the content within my website’s existing design. I’m delighted with the results.” - Jackie Black, CEO of Digital Business Communications “Helen’s experience and expertise as a skilled writer helped transform my web content. She guided me through the process of how to write great blogs with greater confidence. I’ve been contacted by The Times, Sainsburys Pet Insurance and even TV producers as a result. Through her SEO knowledge I am getting more customer enquiries which translates into greater sales.” - Caroline Clark of Pet Education and Training “When it came to writing the copy for my website I wasn’t sure where to begin. I wanted something eloquent that spoke to my target audience, but that also contributed towards my SEO. Helen surpassed all of my expectations, making the process simple and enjoyable. The result is a website that not only ranks highly with Google, but attracts compliments from clients and colleagues.” - Emily Balmer, Director of The Hearing Suite “You have been amazing and it has been very, very much appreciated. Who’d have thought you would ever get me to tweet? Miracles happen.” - Dorinda Wolfe Murray, Chief Executive of FirstLight Trust veterans’ charity “I certainly don’t want to start again with the website if it can be improved to include your website MOT suggestions. Exactly what I was looking for. Maybe I don’t need a rebrand after all!” - Helen Evans, Connect North Yorkshire Please get in touch to chat about: ● attracting new customers with Google-friendly blogs ● having an extra pair of hands for your web migration project ● discovering quick wins with a website MOT

"Why can't we just put it all in ChatGPT and see what comes out? Actual words from a senior client on a Zoom call with the hired copywriter (me) in the room, waiting for my brief. They weren't joking, either. The colleague who'd hired me explained patiently that sure, if they wanted a bland, generic report without any discernible tone of voice or sense of authority, by all means let's do that. But if what they really wanted was a punchy, attention-grabbing piece of collateral that would engage their clients, attract new ones, be persuasive and add genuine value to their digital resources, investing in the services of an experienced professional copywriter was probably the better option. Situation clarified, sanity prevailed. At least my version of it. But it's the kind of exchange I find myself increasingly involved in. Don't get me wrong. AI tools are great. Even copywriters use them to help things along! But if you want your content to sound authentic, to truly showcase the voice of your business, to pitch your messages in a way that speaks directly and compellingly to your target audience, you're still going to need a human being who can hit the sweet spot with your brief and write it. And that's where I can step in - a senior copywriter specialising in corporate digital content, blogs, long-form articles, reports, white papers and case studies. I'm also an experienced copy-editor as well as a trainer in written comms skills, working with training companies and providing tailored private courses for corporate clients. I've been in the words business since starting out as a print journalist when the world was young. My digital transformation journey has been one heck of a voyage. Here's what a couple of people have said along the way: "Piers’ ability to capture the essence of topic, replicate a tone and introduce original thinking along the way is second to none. Piers is my go–to consultant on all things copy. He is a master craftsman and a delight to work with." Imogen Osborne, The Pulse Business "It’s been brilliant working with Piers. His work on our collateral and marketing copy has made a significant difference to our business. People have commented on the improved tone, style and clarity and we’re already seeing better engagement with our content and deeper understanding of our proposition." Joe Parker, Brand Director, This is Motif Please get in touch if you're looking for someone to put the human back into your content.

In a nutshell? I harness words and wisdom to win hearts and minds. For nigh on 20 years, I’ve been crafting compelling content for some of the world’s most iconic brands.

My writing and writing skills training services help healthcare and public sector organisations as well as tech and professional services businesses create better written communications. Perhaps the biggest testament to my abilities is that I have been working with several of my clients since I started my first business in 2004. Apart from the quality of my work, I believe they choose to stay with me for four reasons. I’m pragmatic: I’ll always be able to back up anything I’ve recommended or written with best practice knowledge and sound thinking. That said, you’re the customer and you know your world. I’m not diva-ish or precious. I’m proactive: you’re engaging me to write copy or deliver training but I’ll always go the extra mile to work with you and your team to add value and offer suggestions, ideas and feedback where it’s appropriate. I’m practical: I’ll call when I've told you I will; I’ll deliver when I've told you I will. My job is to help you and your organisation, so you can rely on me to be reliable. I’m professional: if I need to talk to a partner or customer of yours, you can put me in touch with them without fear. I work hard to make a good impression and reflect well on you and your organisation. If you'd like to have a conversation about how I could help you, get in touch – I'll look forward to hearing from you.
