I have an eagle eye for a good story and know how to make it work to my client’s advantage

My current and most recent clients include Grenada Board of Tourism, VisitBritain, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Stena Line, Qantas Holidays Cruise, Anguilla Tourist Board and Oxford Bus Company.

Since 2011 I’ve worked with Warwick Castle and Directline Holidays as part of White Tiger PR, and added to a growing portfolio of five star resorts with ATP Heathcote & Associates.

I provide social media strategy for several leading travel brands.

Since I moved from TV production to PR in 2000 I’ve headed in-house press offices for Air New Zealand and Icelandair;  led agency teams responsible for destinations such as Australia, Mexico and Spain as well as the Caribbean Tourism Organisation, Utell Hotels & Resorts and Wimco Villas; and I have established myself as an independent consultant with retained and project-based clients.

Highly regarded and trusted by UK media,  I have a keen eye for what makes a strong story. I’m also experienced at crisis and issues management.

My services include: consumer and trade media relations, social media strategy and implementation, talent deployment, strategic communications planning and delivery, press trips, copywriting, crisis management & reputation recovery, event management and promotion, brand partnerships.

And I always try to keep a smile on my face!
