'Gillian was referred to me by a mutual friend in the industry. I had engaged two prior copy writers for my website, whom I felt had not been able to deliver what I was looking for. Despite never having written for my industry, Gillian got her head around the subject and the legislative requirements very quickly, and was able to provide me with web copy that met all the requisites – not breaking any laws, in line with my personality and how I wanted information delivered, and highly engaging. Gillian will be my first port of call when I need to expand my website.'
Dr Gavin Sandercoe.
