CV

Over the last 25 years I have worked for most of the big agencies in Manchester, both in full-time and freelance roles and have picked up several awards at both the Roses and the Cream awards, for DM and press work. I'm best-known as a writer of copy and pride myself on writing concise, articulate convincing prose, whether it be for a press ad, a mailer or a website.
