Originally from the North West, I migrated South and while I maintain my flat Northern vowels, am a true convert to Somerset living. Always earned my living through communicating. I’ve spent the last 20 (ish) years in marketing, corporate communications, PR, web content management, online sales, branding and research. I’ve been happy in organisations of all shapes and sizes; from a one man band, t
o family run independents and from national charities to multi-nationals. I’ve been involved in a range of sectors including aerospace, training, wholesale into retail, education and the third sector and enjoyed all. I’m happy working on strategy or getting stuck right in with the ‘doing’. All of which works really well together in my social media management work.
