I have worked as a historical freelance researcher since 2000. My work is primarily concerned with social, family, business and local history whether from a personal perspective working for an individual or on a more public platform involving the media. My personal clients have been from a variety of backgrounds and places including, Australia, Canada, the United States and the UK. I have also undertaken various projects aiding government and Trade Union research officials. More recently my knowledge and skills have been used by the BBC in the making of programmes on both local and national levels. This includes BBC South Today and background research for several episodes of Who Do You Think You Are? - and even appearing in the Frank Gardner one.
