Career

Before going freelance in early 2006, I worked my way up the direct marketing corporate ladder. Starting with the most recent, I’ve worked with:

  • Sutton Winson Ltd, the insurance brokers, as Marketing Executive
  • Folgate Warren Hill Risk Solutions Ltd, the insurance brokers, as Marketing Manager
  • an internet start-up company, as part time Marketing Director
  • London & Edinburgh, an insurance company, as Assistant Marketing Manager
  • Cornhill Insurance as Marketing Controller
  • CGA, an insurance brokerage, as Marketing Executive
  • Royal & Sun Alliance, as Marketing Assistant

I’ve also worked as a Direct Marketing Consultant on a contract basis.

I love copywriting. Here’s a few more things I like to do

Long-distance hiking, painting, decorating, interior / exterior design, gardening, reading and creative writing, painting and drawing, wood carving and sculpture, collecting ’50s German art pottery, original ’50s and ’60s art and old rugs. I’m a ‘Lookerer’ too, which means a volunteer Shepherd. I help look after Brighton & Hove Council’s conservation flocks up on the South Downs, where we live.
