Straight thinking. Plain language. Good work.
About Me
I've spent more than 20 years helping organisations communicate more clearly, more confidently, and more effectively. That's taken me across agency and in-house roles, through industries including financial services, tourism, insurance, fintech, and the public sector - and into some genuinely interesting and complex situations along the way.
In 2021, I founded 128 Communications to do the work I love, with the clients I want to work with, and without the layers that slow good work down.
Today, 128 Communications works with a range of private and public sector clients across strategic communications, government relations, media and PR, and stakeholder engagement. I'm the principal across all engagements. When projects need more capacity or a specialist set of hands, I work with a trusted network of experienced contractors who share the same standards and approach.
What I bring…
Sector depth, not just comms experience
I have specialist knowledge in financial services and fintech, tourism, insurance, and the not-for-profit and public sector. That means I understand the regulatory environment, the stakeholder landscape, and the sensitivities your communications have to navigate - not just the craft of communications itself.
Senior thinking on every engagement
You'll work with me directly. Not handed to a junior after the pitch. Every brief gets proper attention, honest advice, and copy and strategy that's actually been thought through.
Scale when you need it
For larger projects that need additional resource, I work with a trusted network of specialist contractors, writers, media strategists, designers, and digital specialists. You get the right team for the work, without paying for people you don't need.
