“Tom has worked with Albion Legal for over 5 years, helping us to promote our products and services for UK law firms. This has involved a wide variety of content writing, from news releases for media through to new website pages and marketing leaflets and brochures. Tom is collaborative, works well with us to ensure content dovetails with our design structures, and comes up with creative ideas to help us get our message across.” Daniel Black, Albion Legal
“Tom has now been working as an associate for Osprey for over a decade. Key projects which he has helped manage in the last few years have been in the hospitality and tourism sector, promoting activity across five hotels run by English Lakes Hotels, Resorts & Venues, and in regional economic development for Cumbria Local Enterprise Partnership. The latter was a four year, ‘standing start’ PR campaign, the core of which involved Tom sourcing, writing and distributing positive news stories to highlight the LEP’s role and successes. During the contract, we issued 124 news stories on behalf of Cumbria LEP, as well as contributing to many other partner and government press releases. This work generated over 900 separate pieces of online media coverage alone, as well as over 40 radio and television interviews.” Paul Gardner, Osprey Communications
"I've worked with Tom on a few different projects and he’s really organised at structuring and writing great content for websites and marketing materials. He can help web and graphic designers ensure their clients’ copy is polished and matches the quality of their design work. He's also got a knack for a good story line too, and his sound PR tactics have helped me get media coverage for a recent project.” Elly Roper, Seriously Mint
"We commissioned Tom to work with us under a specific remit to raise our profile in local and telecoms industry trade press. He has had an impressive ‘hit’ rate, averaging half a dozen pieces of coverage each time he does a story for us. We worked with him to supply decent pegs for news stories and tie these in with our marketing strategy. Tom has made a strong contribution towards our business growth objectives and I have no hesitation in recommending his services." Tony Raynor, Abbey Telecom
"Using Tom’s proof reading and copywriting expertise really helped freshen up the content on our new website and bring it up to date. He quickly got to the nub of what the job required. This allowed me to get on with the day job and the core business of looking after clients’ accounting needs, and I think he probably got an ‘A’ in English anyway!" Mike Turner, Turner & Turner Chartered Accountants & Business Advisors
