About Me

Over the years I have gained experience in a variety of areas including commerce and industry and the education sector where I have worked in the UK as well as in other areas of Europe. I have worked in the education sector for nearly twenty years generally in a management role. For 12 years I worked in commerce and industry for multinational conglomerates in a variety of departments including sales, data processing, invoicing, accounts, communication and entertainment. I have been self employed and worked freelance as a trainer and a writer and I have set up and run my own business in Tourist Information and Accommodation.

During my time in employment I have written and rewritten a great deal of policy documentation and white papers for various departments; and for online education projects such as those of Times100 online. I have researched, written and produced articles for online travel magazines and websites such as [Link Removed] - varying in length from 400 to 3000 words. I have undertaken profiling for recruitment and written and provided applications for fund raising projects.

Well accustomed and experienced in writing and rewriting a variety of material. I have designed and produced websites such as [Link Removed] as a result developing a good knowledge of SEO, keyword applications, and the use of social media, Google and other search engines. Alongside of the website I have been involved in writing and producing advertising literature such as brochures and tourist guides to lure the customer to return for a longer stay. I have also researched and written books – text books for schools and have produced an auto biography as a ghost writer which was successfully published.
Well versed in producing power point presentations I have written and produced them for training purposes for other organisations and for training for which I have been responsible. I have written and produced educational power points such which have been successfully published by Zig Zag online publishers. More recently I have reworked and combined two power points to provide one less verbose and more user friendly and eye catching.
I believe my role in admin and education ensures that I can offer that top quality English standard you require for your writing – whether it’s for copywriting, editing, proof reading, rewriting or researching. Having always worked at management level I am accustomed to working to tight deadlines and can deliver the goods for realistic prices. I work professionally and discreetly and look to provide you with an efficient and effective service.
I am versatile, hard working and enjoy working on my own initiative. I am exceedingly well organised – some say to the point of OCD – and with outstanding typing skills. I enjoy being creative and also work well with my back against the wall to accomplish time scales. My qualifications and experience are extremely varied which allows me to have a greater understanding of a wide range of subjects – a copy of my cv is on the PPH system for your perusal.

Work Experience

Initally trained and worked in Commerce and Industry alongside directors in multi national conglomerates, from chemical manaufacturing to engineering and estates.

Having retrained in the Educational sector once again I worked at management level. As a project manager of a special school responsible for site and staff development I was accustomed to liaising with architects and builders, social services and educational management, as well as providing training for educational staff.

I have produced and edited policy documentation and studied government directives with regard to various issues. I have produced successful grant applications, worked in sales, health and safety, transport, entertainment and production. I have ghost written a biography and have also been successful in educational literature, particularly Educational Power Points for schools which have been successfully published. I have written online travel literature and travel guides for the local region which have proved very successful.

Jun 2008 to Present
Co-director at Le Grand Saule Chambre d'Hote

As co-director I have been involved in the full range of management aspects including administration such as finance, budgets and accounts. I have written and produced the website which has proved extremely successful helping to double the turnover of the business in the last twelve months. I also have responsibility for advertising literature in the form of cards and brochures.

My main role as PR for the company involves the full range of meeting and greeting clients and having contact with them through telephone, internet and reception.

During my time in this role I have been involved in freelance writing, producing power point presentations for staff training and also for publication to the educational sector. I have written and produced on a regular monthly basis, a write up for www.guide2poitoucharentes.com - a reference from whom can be found on the system.
