All about making words work

“I have worked with Kelly for many years. She is an extremely talented writer - her copy never fails to be informative, concise and interesting to read. On top of that, her very professional approach to all she does is enhanced by her constantly friendly, communicative attitude - making Kelly a delight to work with.”

“I have worked with Kelly for more than a decade, utilising her journalism skills as a necessary tool to promote the schools I have both worked within and lead. I believe – and have witnessed while working with Kelly – that positive PR is a vital part of growing a successful school. Indeed, I see Kelly and her work as a key part of my toolkit, which is why when I have moved schools, I have taken her along with me and continue to work with her after all these years.”

“Kelly’s a great copywriter and manages to turn complex reports into plain English quickly and efficiently which is perfect to help tell our stories at the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex.

“She is also our go-to when we need to shine a spotlight on some of the community groups we fund, helping us to bring out the important human-interest stories to our work. We are a small team and having Kelly on board really helps us to deliver.”

“Every school is proud of its pupils and wants to share the very best among the community. Working with Kelly helps us to promote the outstanding work that takes place in our schools, which is so important in helping all of our stakeholders buy into our vision and values. It was a central part of our school improvement journey and remains a vital role in sharing our ethos.”

“Kelly has worked with The Sigma Trust since it was formed in September 2016 and has had a key role in developing effective communications with the community that the Trust serves. Central to this has been our biannual publication, Sigma News, which celebrates the achievements of all 12 schools within Sigma.
“Kelly collates and edits all the articles supplied by the schools and ensures that it is published and distributed on time every six months.
“She provides two versions; one aimed at staff, trustees and local governors and the other for students, parents and the local community.
“This is now firmly established within Sigma and is fantastic value for money.
“In addition, Kelly liaises with the local press to create articles about the Trust and individual schools. She also provides regular opportunities for the work of our schools to be celebrated in a number of national publications.
“It has been a pleasure working with Kelly for the past four years.”

“Falcon Print Management have worked in collaboration with Kelly now for over ten years!

“Our work together has mainly been focused on producing magazines and newsletters for schools across the UK.

“Kelly is extremely professional and works to tight deadlines to put together wonderful articles about the schools, their students and staff.

“I think the fact we have worked with Kelly for all these years is testament to how highly we value her writing skills!”

"Kelly was an invaluable contact for me during my time editing Teach Secondary magazine.

“From sourcing relevant case studies and contributors, to researching and writing articles, her understanding of both the education sector and my needs as an editor (including speed of turnaround!) meant that working together was always a pleasure, resulting in consistently strong copy."

“Kelly worked as a reporter for Herts & Essex News and Media for an extended period during 2016. Her experience shone through and she proved to be a valuable member of the team, always producing accurate copy in a professional and timely manner.

“She received a number of emails of thanks from people she had written about, which is almost unheard of in this line of work!”

“Kelly has just completed a third piece of work for us and we have been delighted with the results.

“There is no doubt involving a professional is really worth it - in our relations with the local media, in distilling what we and our clients wanted to say and in ensuring that translated into high quality copy, for example for our just published Annual Review.”

“Having been in the business for over 20 years now, I have come across three types of writers - terrible, average and bl..dy good at what they do… Kelly is like a dream writer to work with, also very modest at that. Not only are her words brilliant, but she also helps us designers by working as a real team player, also getting into our heads and making design/words work in tandem.

“I could not recommend Kelly enough and look forward to working with her again…”

“Kelly has been working as a PR consultant for Maltings Academy for three years. In that time, the academy has moved from being undersubscribed by one and a half classes to being oversubscribed and in an ‘appeals’ situation.

“The work Kelly has undertaken, in terms of generating positive press, has been a factor in this change.

“She has also helped us to work towards achieving one of our aims of engaging with the community and this has been very successful.

“I would recommend Kelly’s company to you.”

“Kelly has worked with Greensward Academy for the past two years to support us with publicity of our events and image in the community.

“Kelly is a very flexible member of our extended Greensward team and has produced well-written articles in a very short time scale. Due to her great contacts, her success rate with the local newspapers in getting these articles printed has been a huge improvement on any other press officer who has worked with Greensward over the years.

“I thoroughly recommend Kelly to you.”

“Thanks for your help in writing a great article for Peaceful Place, Kelly, which hit just the right note, resulting in a fantastic response from the publice.

“Since your piece appeared in the Echo, we’ve had several offers of help for the party and some generous donations of prizes.

“You’re doing a great job in helping us spread awareness of the charity.”

“I was launching my company in the local paper and was very aware the article had to be written well as this was the first impression of our business.

“Kelly came to my office and I told her all about my business. She asked many questions, so she understood what our business was about and what message we wanted to get across to our prospective clients.

“Since then, we have gone back to Kelly and she has written an article for press for our first-year anniversary. I received many phone calls from local residents as a result of the article, so it clearly was successful in reaching our target audience.

“I would strongly recommend you use Kelly for your business as well – first impressions are so important!”

“Kelly helped me enormously in those early days when I was finding it quite tricky to market myself as Talking Tots was such a new concept in Essex. She came along to one of my classes, spoke to mums and wrote a great editorial which she was able to get printed in two local newspapers.

“It gave me the boost I needed to get myself ‘out there’. Thank you, Kelly.”

“I just wanted to say a big thank you on behalf of the whole committee for the wonderful article you put together for us. The publicity it has produced for us on the back of such a large piece was really great for the club.

“I hope we will have the opportunity to work together again and I will have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone in a similar position to us.

“Kind regards again for your excellent work.”

“Kelly has done an excellent job for us. She was able to tailor each press release to include information about the local businesses to each individual newspaper.

“I have no doubt that due to this and the excellent writing style, Kelly was able to achieve a high percentage of newspapers receiving our press release running the article. It was most definitely a worthwhile investment for Select Network.

“We will most certainly be using Kelly again in the future and have no hesitation in recommending her to any business that is serious about raising their profile.”
