Director of Flex Partners Ltd, storytellers for business.I am a qualified and experienced marketing professional by day and a writer of dangerous tales, historical horror and dark poetry by night. But don't let that put you off... marketing's not as bad as people think. I spent 22 years client-side with KPMG, Orange, Compaq and Canon, delivering increased share and market leadership in dynamic and competitive markets. For the last 16 years I have been agency-side, a business owner-manager responsible for formulation and implementation of business development and communications for successful, aspiring companies and public sector organisations. Most recently, Flex Partners rolls all this experience into a model that serves clients in a way that suits them, in our favourite kind of work: giving businesses a voice that will boost profits and get people on board with their brand and their products and services.A Certified NLP Practitioner and a qualified DipM, I was also awarded the Diploma in EFQM2010 Business Excellence Assessment. I graduated from Bristol University back in the day with an honours degree in Economics.Specialties: marketing strategy, market research, brand development, marketing communications, employee engagement, channel marketing management, marketing training, retail marketing, writing and publishing, business excellence.
