If so, let’s talk…

I’m a features writer, news reporter, copywriter and editor with eight years’ professional experience in print and online media.

I’ve worked as a journalist at the deep end of covering a variety of specialist areas: Health policy and the public sector, equity capital markets, and latterly financial services and consumer issues.

Nowadays I have a particular interest in healthcare and personal finance issues. I regularly work as a writer and editor for the leading personal finance and consumer website MoneySavingExpert.com.

My freelance reporting has been published in national and regional newspapers, including The Sunday Times, The Sunday Mirror, The Independent, The i Paper, The Belfast Telegraph, and The Manchester Evening News.

Meanwhile, my feature writing has been in specialist publications including The BMJ, the British Journal of Healthcare Computing, Construction News, Digital Health, HIMSS Insights and The Times Higher Education.

Since going freelance full-time in April 2017 I’ve also helped a diverse mix of commercial clients to get their message across with clear, sharp copy to tight deadlines.

I was previously a mergers and acquisitions reporter covering healthcare and pharmaceutical companies at Dealreporter, a risk arbitrage newswire service published by Acuris Group (formerly Mergermarket Group)

Before that I was a senior reporter at Health Service Journal, the leading publication covering the NHS in England.

Editorial

As a journalist I enjoy delving deep into complex issues to find interesting stories to tell. My primary areas of interest are UK health policy, the public sector and personal finance issues. 
Here’s what I do:

  • News reporting - I regularly report on complex issues for a mixture of audiences, either working reporting shifts or identifying and writing stories independently. I have extensive experience in covering on-diary and off-diary news as well as sourcing agenda-setting exclusives and conducting investigations.

  • Feature writing - Stories worth telling for both general and specialist readers. I take on an eclectic mix of commissioned subjects.

  • Content editing - Clean and rapid text editing - both in print and online. I’ve helped major financial and marketing clients quickly turnaround copy for online publication.

  • Event coverage & parliamentary monitoring - I regularly work with parliamentary monitoring organisations like DeHavilland and specialist newswire services to produce concise accounts of conferences and parliamentary select committee meetings.

  • Contract publishing projects - Looking for well-researched, elegantly written articles for customer or membership media? I’ve worked with clients like Chubb Insurance and the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) to provide their membership and client magazines with incisive, actionable content.

  • Producing bespoke copy for commercial websites - I’m often approached to produce punchy, clear and engaging content for commercial websites from a range of large companies.
