As it might help you understand what I can offer if you
know a bit about me, here's a brief outline of how I got to
be doing what I do today...
Born in '74 in south Buckinghamshire. Left school at 16 and
trained as a chef at Thames Valley University. Worked as a
commis chef at Cliveden hotel in Taplow. Moved on to become
second chef at The Stag in Burnham Beeches. Later became
head barman and cellar manager here (still only 19).
Studied an English degree at Metropolitan University in
north London. Graduated and landed a job as a journalist /
editor on a B2B magazine. Went freelance. Concentrated on
food writing. Became the sole copywriter on a re-brand of
Sainsbury's Taste The Difference range. Spent a year
working in the wine trade and studying wine. Landed regular
work writing for Beaujolais specialist Roger Harris Wines.
Picked up work for Oliver Peyton's new Peyton & Byrne
brand. Became Marks & Spencer in-house food and drink
copywriter (full-time part-time freelance, if that makes
any sense). Ongoing freelance work for various businesses
– watch this space for details.
And there you have it. But enough about me, let's talk
about you...
