A highly experienced communications consultant with an excellent track record in delivering successful campaigns across PR, internal and marketing communications and issues management. I also create, advise on, write and edit documents of public record such as annual reports and accounts and public consultation materials.My strengths include • the development of communications strategies• dealing with complex or potentially controversial matters• writing and editing: annual reports and accounts, press releases and statements, features, and copy for websites, other e-communications and print, and• media relations. I also coach clients’ staff members on communications skills including writing, presentations, handling media interviews, and the selection and use of photography. Perhaps I am unusual in that I have spent much of my career working in b2b and b2c sectors that don't necessarily have wide appeal in the agency world, but where there are real opportunities to make a difference. These range from first response in the face or terrorist and non-conventional weapon attacks to faith-based activities and waste and resource management. The common thread is that these areas involve presenting practices, technologies or concepts that are not necessarily popular or widely understood by the general public yet have significant long term benefits for communities and individuals within them.
