Passionate about service; nerdy about words!I started my marketing life with ICI - longer ago than I care to remember - and worked my way up to Marketing Director level with Remploy, via various senior international marketing roles along the way. In 1996 I founded my own marketing consultancy, and later teamed-up with Juicy Marketing Ltd on a freelance basis. I'm now mixing marketing with several other freelance roles because, as the saying goes, "variety is the spice of life!"I'm the Technical Copywriter at Westbrook and Bell Ltd, specialists in Offsite and innovative methods of construction; a feature writer for Classic Land Rover and Classic Military Vehicle magazines; and provide freelance business support services to local SMEs in the Abergavenny and Monmouth areas.Whichever 'hat I'm wearing', my focus is on the client and what’s right for them. It’s important to listen to their wants and needs, discuss their options and limiting factors, then devise the right approach to deliver outcomes which fit their budget and help them achieve their goals.Specialties: Marketing Strategy & Planning; PR, Publicity & Promotion; Copywriting; Customer Service; Business Administration.Interests: canoeing; classic Land Rovers & off-roading; food & drink; motoring & travel; the outdoors; contemporary art; industrial & social history; gardening; friends & family.
