After years as a food & drink magazine editor, I made the move into Public Relations 14 years ago: combining a love of writing and communications with a vast food and drink knowledge. 
I understand the unique and special nature of food and drink businesses, I understand the hard work they put in to make their businesses successful and I love nothing more than helping them boost their brands through effective PR. 
Each of my clients is different and has varying objectives so I work closely with them -  whether that be the founders, owners or the marketing guys - to create unique and special PR stories that we can promote to the world. And my track record speaks for itself.
​Over the years I've helped my clients secure coverage in high profile magazines and newspapers such as The Sunday Telegraph, BBC Good Food, Olive, London Evening Standard, House and Garden, The Grocer, The Guardian, The Telegraph, Hello!, Delicious, Good Housekeeping, The Sun, The Daily Mail, Metro and Country Living, among many others, as well as exposure on national radio and local television.
