Ex national journalist with a experience of writing for online, radio, television and print media... tabloid trained so expect a sense of humour in my styling...  Business minded following stints in the City at blue chip companies such as Merrill Lynch so digging a story out of the depths of the driest subject is usually a doddle... but up for any challenge... 15 years in events including marketing and PR means anything is possible.  Tenacious but charming is how Amanda has been described... as well as offering added value ideas at every opportunity...

Amanda’s clients have benefitted from front page national and local newspaper coverage, local and national radio and television and extensive column inches on and offline.  Amanda has risen to the challenge for copy for several high profile websites and product information for Dragon’s Den backed GoldGenie and Elton John’s Charitable Trust.

I run a business called the GBS Group (which stands for Good Business Solutions) and has evolved since I started it in 1995 - but broadly it provide a range of business development services - see company profile.

I have lived in London for over ten years, and before that in Yorkshire, Lancashire and East Anglia - and who knows where the next move will be to !

I enjoy the outdoors, and can think of nothing better than going hiking, camping, or touring in the countryside. However I can console myself with having access to many nice parks in London, where I often go running to try and keep my wastline from continually expanding !

As an independent travel agent with over 20 years of experience, we work with all the leading tour operators and a variety of smaller specialist Tour Operators, schedule airlines, charter airlines, both independent hotels and hotel chains, car rental companies, cruise lines and sightseeing tour providers.

Paul has a strong track record of success in business, which he puts down to an ability to see things simply, and get to the heart of issues effectively.

After many years in large corporations, most of which were at a senior level, Paul left to set up his own  businesses in 2002. After a number of large project and change management assignments, he settled on three businesses in which he chose to invest time, energy, and, of course money!

I’ve also got considerable search engine optimisation (SEO) experience having worked with an online marketing agency in Scotland for around two years. I have achieved many page 1 Google rankings for my clients through a combination of copywriting and SEO.

I’m a great believer in copywriting being a clever combination of writing for the search engines but most importantly your target audience.

I enjoy creative writing, cricket (only wish Scotland had a better team) and golf amongst many other things.
