My Story

Over the last 10 years I have worked exclusively in luxury and agricultural magazine publishing. I’ve spent the last 3 years + successfully heading up a scale up strategy for Newsquest Media Group to grow 4 regional lifestyle magazines to 35 “Living” lifestyle magazines across the U.K. I did this through the creation of a Playbook and brought it to life by working across multi-disciplined teams; from Local MDs, Commercial Directors, Editors, Journalists, Creative Directors, Logistic Managers and Sales people. I was responsible for creating and maintaining the brand identity, it’s target audience, curating content and its bottomline profit. My ‘cut through’ is credible and I drive results through inspiration, strategy alignment and process reengineering.  Living Magazines have been awarding winning on many occasions and is a very real, recent and profitable success story for Newsquest. My attention to detail and enthusiastic, collaborative approach drives bottomline results. Adding value to people and process is pivotal for me and I can do this for your business, at a cost effective rate and most importantly work with flexibility to suit your needs.

Freelancing is the next, natural step for me and I’d love to help your business grow. I’m passionate about helping SMEs break their barriers and take their business to the next level. I’m based in the North East and used to working across Teams/Zoom on a daily basis with people throughout the U.K.
