This is where I shut up and let other people do the talking for me. And hopefully where you will get the reassurance you need to contact me.

“I engaged Elaine to undertake website copy for my new site. The work that she subsequently provided was of an excellent quality, and she took
all the time required to explain my options and I am extremely happy with the finished result.I will undoubtedly continued to use Elaine as my source of all things requiring ‘copy’ and I would not hesitate in recommending
her services.”
Simon Wood-Woolley, MD Define Financial Planning 
‘Elaine wrote four articles for our first annual report and we are extremely pleased with her input. Her writing made what could have been fairly dry articles interesting and readable, which is exactly what we wanted. She interviewed several heads of faculty and managed to get information from them that made the articles come alive.Throughout the project Elaine was communicative and supportive. She was a pleasure to work with’. Jenny Carr, marketing and press manager, Glyndŵr University, Wales.

“We initially contacted Elaine to help us write some copy for our website holding page. We were so impressed with what she delivered, and the manner in which she delivered it, that we asked her to write copy for our entire website.She immediately understood our brief and identified the key messages we wanted to convey. She was thorough in her questioning and proactively conducted some of her own research into our competitors to enhance her understanding of our business. Elaine’s passion and enthusiasm for her work is evident in the exceptional copy she delivers, all on time and within budget. Elaine is a wizard with words and writes such creative copy. With Edible Beauty, she brought words to life so you can almost touch, taste and smell them.”Sandra Jones – MD, Edible Beauty.com
“I was extremely impressed by Elaine’s writing, attention to detail and determination to give me exactly what I was looking for- even when my brief was weak and it kept changing! She has written in exactly the tone I was looking for and has been an integral part of creating our brand and culture. Where I took three sentences to say what I wanted, she succinctly adapted this to one short sentence. She was fantastic at working to deadlines- especially when I had her working over Christmas!”Amelia Gaskell – Amelia Pearls
“Elaine has proved an invaluable partner in driving my communication strategy. Her copywriting skills are undoubtedly strong, but what is most impressive is the way that she really lives the project and thoroughly enjoys helping deliver results.

I look forward to our ongoing partnership.”Simon Alldridge – MD, Ashtead Performance Group
“We know our service is priced very competitively and offers great value for small businesses, but we were unhappy with our own attempts to convey this effectively on our web site. After providing Elaine with details of our services, our target audience and the messages we wanted to convey and reinforce on each web page, she composed some draft versions for us to review. They were spot on.She understood our requirements very clearly, mixed in a few of her own ideas and experience and delivered copy which has undoubtedly increased our sales. Potential customers are able to read our site and understand our services a lot more easily than before and feel more confident in our ability to meet their business needs – making it easier for us to sell them our services.”Richard Jones – MD, Websolve
“When I suddenly needed a copywriter to support me with a client Elaine’s name sprang to mind.After briefing her she quickly got on the case and creatively drafted some words to perfectly accompany new photography for my client’s new brochure. I found it really helpful to talk through my thoughts and ideas with her and we came up with a format which I believe will wow my client and the readers of their brochure.For me, it’s the piece of mind I get from working with Elaine. I know that once briefed I can trust her to get on with the job and I don’t have worry about what I get back.”Sanjay Mistry – MD, @public relations
“Our original website text was functional, repetitive and blunt. Elaine created a unique tone of voice and talked to our customers as they wanted to be talked to.

“Throughout the project Elaine communicated on a regular basis and delivered the material on time and on budget.

She has also edited and proofread some of our other external documents, such as our Annual, Financial and Residents’ reports. Elaine is a team player and we recommend her highly.” Arun Misra, Director, Corporate Services, Presentation Social Investment Agency- “I have known Elaine, professionally, for over ten years. As head of PR at Nikon, she was one of the most dedicated, organised and reliable PRs in the business.

And did I mention the sunny personality that makes her a pleasure to have around?” Nigel Atherton, Editor, What Digital Camera“
