I have worked in Marketing & Communications for the past 25 years, in various sectors including industry, charity, independent education and with SMEs. I'm an ideas person who makes things happen. I love words, and have an English degree and a Masters by Research. But more than that, I have two decades of 'sleeves rolled up, day in, day out', personal marketing experience. From 2008-2012 I founded and ran the award winning Mum's the Boss networking group, supporting business mums all over the UK.

I can help support with any creative projects you may have - from copywriting, design, layout and presentation, to marketing planning and strategy. My aim is to help small business owners think creatively about their business and present themselves in an authentic and creative way to their customers. Either as regular monthly support, or working on short-term, one-off projects, my aim is take all the creative jobs you aren't good at or just don't like, and free up your time to do the things that light you up!

If we work together I promise I will be approachable (at heart I'm an awkward introvert, so I go above and beyond to make others feel at ease), plain speaking and jargon free, reliable, glass half full, and most importantly - good fun!

Away from work I am a Trustee for a children's mental health charity, a cause close to my heart. I am also a big fan of cats, books, theatre, comedy and gin (but not necessarily in that order!)
