Originally trained as a journalist, I am a freelance public relations consultant with 21 years experience across all types of roles from in-house, to agency and then to freelance in 2004.

Wide range of expertise
This background, combined with a wide range of clients, has enabled me to develop skills and expertise in PR in its widest sense. From facilitating high level debates for a client’s key stakeholders, through to coordinating Ministerial visits, producing an employee magazine and running consultation programmes with local communities, my approach is the same – determined and results-driven.

Working in partnership
At heart, I guess I am an in-house personality, so as a freelancer, I deliver the best quality results when I am well and truly under the skin of the organisation I am working for. This can be demonstrated clearly through my long (15 years) and effective partnership with one particular client.

Adaptable yet focused One of my key skills is my ability to adapt to ensure I can deliver on a PR brief. I am equally at home volunteering to help out at a client’s site open day or training a chief executive to ensure he delivers clear messages about his organisation in an effective way. Always with my focus on the bigger picture of an organisation’s overall goals and priorities, I aim to make a significant contribution whatever shape the communications programme may take.
