David P.

I am a journalist with more than 20 years' experience and I run my own business providing editorial and DTP services to academic organisations, blue-chip companies, charities, government agencies, PR consultancies and publishers. Clients past and present include Blackwell, Braun, Colgate-Palmolive, GlaxoSmithKline, Heinemann, Kvaerner, Mercedes-Benz, Lotus F1, Ofsted, Open University, Relate, Siemens, Thames Water and Toyota. Using a combination of all-round journalistic, production and project management skills, I can create single features or entire publications to very high standards within the budget and deadline specified. I have researched and written articles on many different subjects for newspapers, magazines and websites, and edited and designed reports, newsletters and books in a wide variety of fields. During my career, I have covered business and commerce, crime, education, engineering, environmental issues, farming, healthcare, history, local government, politics, property, science, technology and transport. One of my strengths is being able to turn complex information into clear, concise and lively copy, enabling clients to communicate effectively with their target audiences - in print or online.
