What do you love most about your job?
What I like most about my job is helping businesses communicate more clearly and effectively with their clients and customers. Whether I’m writing a thought leadership article, scripting a podcast, or developing web content, my goal is always the same: to bridge the gap between what a business wants to say and what its audience needs to hear.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My dad. He was a self-employed builder all of his life. He never worked as an employee, always favouring the flexible work that self-employment gave him. This was at a time when self-employed had many negative aspects to it, none more so than how it was perceived by the public. Today of course things are very different. Today many aspire to starting their own business or becoming freelancers.
Why should our clients choose you?
Many of my clients become long-term, as they see I can understand their businesses and produce great materials without time-consuming oversight or supervision. I think some of the comments I have gotten over the years say it best:
"I regularly commission David as a feature writer on technology issues. He is on top of his area of expertise and is great at generating topical content ideas. He is extremely professional in his approach, always filing on time and to brief without any hand-holding. All in all, David is a pleasure to work with."
Eila Madden, Editor-in-chief, Wardour.

“Having worked with Dave over the last few years, he has become a contributor we can trust to understand our readership, come up with new engaging ideas for features, and then submit great copy on time, that always meets our briefs.”
Désiré Athow, Editor, ITProPortal & TechRadar Pro.
///
“I would happily recommend Dave to any company or publisher. He always delivers copy on time and to a high standard, and never strays from the brief. It’s nice to have such a reliable freelancer on our books.”
Adam Pescod, Content Manager, Fleximize.

"Dave is that rarest of commodities in content: A journalist that gets your brief to you on time and exactly as you asked for. A safe pair of hands for any project that we have used many times and will continue to work with in the future."
Alex Hadwick, Head of Research, EyeforTravel.
