  Excellent
25 May 2007: We have used Fiona Brunton for freelance copywriting for over a year now and are delighted with the results. Often working to extremely tight time deadlines and with a limited brief, Fiona has consistently delivered high quality copy to meet a range of needs including proposals and tenders, brochures, web copy, editorial, press releases and newsletters.

  Excellent
23 May 2007: I've worked with Fiona on dozens of recruitment projects, including use of online candidate sourcing, guidance and direction on writing adverts, and devising creative solutions to recruitment problems. Fiona has always delivered results fast, and always at a cost way below the traditional agency route. I can strongly recommend her.

Employment History

(Mar 2005 & ongoing)

Managing Director / Consultant

UK-Wide

In 2005 I made the decision to take my recruitment agency experience and apply it to potential customers who may not wish to work with a recruitment agency, but need help to source, interview, assess and retain the right staff for their business in the most cost effective possible manner. This enables my clients to access many of the same sources and methodologies used by Recruitment Agencies at a fraction of the cost of their fees!

As "poacher turned gamekeeper" I also work with HR and Procurement Departments to assist them in buying recruitment services, helping them to achieve the best possible quality and service for the most cost effective price.

As a professional tender writer, I have also gained valuable experience in all forms of copywriting, including tenders, proposals, presentations, promotional material, marketing literature, press releases, newsletters, advertisements and web copy.

My clients range from SMEs to large corporate organisations who all have one challenge in common - they are successful, but are held back from achieving their objectives by one of three things:

Lack of time.
Lack of resource.
Lack of specific expertise.
