What key skills do you bring to the team?

My well-honed writing skills and a nose for interesting stories and news angles.

How did you get into PR?

Mainly by building close relationships with PR companies during my time as a journalist.

Talk us through a typical day at Templemere PR

I have very few ‘typical’ days, which is what makes the job so interesting.

What is your favourite fact?

That dogs can’t look up (for all the Shaun of the Dead fans).

What do you do in your spare time?

I’m a massive geek and enjoy playing and collecting videogames, and you’ll also find me hacking away on the golf course most weekends.

What is your pet peeve?

Bad manners.

If you could go back in time and do one thing differently, what would you do?

I wouldn’t change anything – I think it’s important to learn from your mistakes and focus on the present.
