Proof of the Pudding
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 am busy doing the ‘day job’ and therefore it’s really difficult to find time to devote to putting together my website copy and marketing letters. Elaine took a huge amount of the pressure off of me by doing this for me.
However she did so much more than just write the words. She spent time with me really trying to understand and clarify exactly who my target market was, the underlying message, and what tone was appropriate.
The feedback I’ve had on both the website and marketing material has been fantastic and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Elaine to anyone wanting some really professional, well thought out copy.”
Adrian Dadds, MD St George’s Finance
“I met Elaine through a business contact while I was developing the company website and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with her. She spent a lot of time with me understanding the business and the detailed messages and requirements.
She then presented us in a very professional manner while communicating with me on an on-going basis. She made amendments when I required them, presenting options and recommending solutions.
I would have no hesitation in using or recommending Elaine in the future.”
Philip Cartwright, MD Exquisite Air Charter
“We contracted Elaine to write the copy for our Top Ten Accessible Venues guide, and her input was terrific. She managed to streamline and simplify masses of information, keeping it easy to read whilst maintaining the bouncy, fresh “Time Out” style we wanted.
Elaine was flexible and helpful throughout the process, and we would definitely work with her again. ”
Gabrielle Tierney, Community Initiatives Manager, Octavia Foundation

“I engaged Elaine to undertake website copy for my new site. The work that she subsequently provided was of an excellent quality, and she tookall 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.
‘Elaine offers more than just timely, compelling copy. She has a good understanding of messaging and how best to pique and maintain the interest of target audiences. She delivers this professionally, on budget and with a healthy dose of humour.’
Sally Hems MCIPR, MD – Oakleaf Communications
‘Elaine patiently worked with us on the Commonwealth Foundation annual report, not just to make the copy more accessible, but to really challenge us on what we were saying so that the report totally met our desired objectives. I had no hesitation in commissioning her to do some work for me in my new role at Breakthrough Breast Cancer.’
Rowena Harding, formerly communications manager, Commonwealth Foundation (now communications manager, Breakthrough Breast Cancer)
“Simply put, Elaine produces great work! A fantastic ability to understand the message and create new or overhaul existing copy that’s spot on with minimum fuss. Which is exactly what is wanted.”
David Muller – director, Plan2Do
“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 have had great value in all areas of my website and newsletter because Elaine embodies the principle of going the extra mile. 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.”
