I’m a highly experienced B2B marketer and have been crafting compelling copy that educates, promotes and sells for the building products, specification and safety sectors for over 20 years. ​Having worked both client-side and agency, I understand the power of words and how to use them effectively throughout the different marketing channels.  Getting the right message across, in the right tone is at the heart of copywriting. I have extensive experience of construction and safety. During my career I have written for a variety of companies including Fernox water treatment, Dulux Trade, fall protection professional Safesite, safety railing supplier Kee Systems and Nu-Heat underfloor heating. My speciality is in construction, building products and health & safety, but I can write on any topic for any type or size of business.

I've edited more than 50 non-fiction books and I commission authors for Pen and Sword Books. I split my time between working as a lipspeaker (providing communication support for deaf and hard-of-hearing people who don't use sign language), editing books and copywriting. I occasionally do some journalism and I also run a craft and streetfood market.
