Skills
I'm offering
A long and successful career has enabled me to develop a wide range of skills, ranging from writing and sub-editing to design work; creating successful content for press releases and social media activity; and from managing a team to project leader, whether that be in change management or delivering the latest technologies. The breadth of these skills gives me the ability to adapt to new challenges, deadline-driven demands and the changing face of any given industry. Having seen the business from both sides I am ideally placed to help produce bespoke content and publications, to providing media friendly press releases.
