I have written about FTSE 100 companies and small companies.

    I know about investment and how finance in the City, the UK and in Europe, works. I have written much on retail finance and products. I have written for institutions and the man in the street. I am a natural net worker and have interviewed many senior executives on stories.

    I have also written non financial copy for women's magazines and newspapers, like lifestyle and property.

    I have worked for The Times Business News, The Sunday Times Business News, The Guardian's financial pages, The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph.

    Last year I had a fascinating time working for the government, assisting Ministers to write articles promoting British trade and investment for the foreign media.

    I have written for many trade journals and have written lots of on line copy. I have done freelance copy writing and meshed with marketing departments when on PAYE.

    I am new to PPH and feel I am highly suited to delivering good copy for clients without fuss, because I know what I am doing.

    I am based in Kingston-upon-Thames and am happy to travel most places for meetings.

    I really enjoy getting down to a task that involves networking and talking to people, on and off the phone. I am good at my job whether it is editing, writing, rewriting, proofing, subbing, copy writing, blogging, working on reports/research - because I am experienced.

    I am hard working, thorough, careful, aware of detail.

    I am dependable,never miss a deadline, write good English and deliver concise, clear, grammatical copy. I go the extra mile for clients.

    Incidentally, I know all about nannies and au pairs as I co-wrote a best selling how-to book The Good Nanny Guide and became a spokesperson for the nanny industry in the media.

    Area Covered: London, anywhere else via email and phone.

    Work Experience
    -----------------

    Summary: I have loads of experience because I have been a journalist all my working life. To start with I wrote personal finance for the quality newspapers then I did more general business and investment stories, then I made a mix with life style stories for women's magazines.

    I can do everything to do with the written world, I have done quite a bit of editing of trade magazines as well.

    I get great satisfaction from writing well and to the point, and that dovetails well with getting a lot out of literature and novels. I co-wrote a best seller, The Good Nanny Guide.

    I always do my best which after some time means that I can deliver most things. I am on the ball, reliable and won't disappoint - provided I am well briefed.
