Tom has worked for Osprey Communications on an associate basis since 2010. He is a hard working and talented professional. He is equally comfortable operating in both consultancy and ‘in house’ placement roles in the public and private sector. Key projects which he has helped manage in the last few years have been in the hospitality and tourism sector, promoting activity across five hotels run by English Lakes Hotels, and in regional economic development for Cumbria LEP. The latter was a four year, ‘standing start’ PR campaign, the core of which involved Tom sourcing, writing and distributing positive news stories to highlight the LEP’s role and successes. During the contract, we issued 124 news stories on behalf of Cumbria LEP, as well as contributing to many other partner and government press releases. This work generated over 900 separate pieces of online media coverage alone, as well as over 40 radio and television interviews.

Tom worked for our NHS Trust as an in house communications advisor. He rapidly settled into our team as a valuable and highly productive PR practitioner with strong copywriting skills. He was responsible for researching and publicising a series of positive news stories which secured substantial media coverage across South Cumbria and North Lancashire. Tom quickly developed an understanding of our organisational culture, operating procedures and NHS partnerships. He has also been heavily involved in copywriting and production for corporate communications, including key announcements and appointments, as well as contributing to our staff newsletter, bulletins for GPs and our members, and website content development.

Tom has worked with Albion Legal for over 5 years, helping us to promote our products and services for UK law firms. This has involved a wide variety of content writing, from news releases for media through to new website pages and marketing leaflets and brochures. Tom is collaborative, works well with us to ensure content dovetails with our design structures, and comes up with creative ideas to help us get our message across.
Daniel Black, Albion Legal

Many of our business contacts commented on our trade and local press coverage after we commissioned Tom to work with us in early 2013. He has had an impressive ‘hit’ rate, averaging half a dozen pieces of coverage each time he does a story for us. He's a pleasure to work with and even suggests attention grabbing pics for news stories and ties these in with our marketing strategy. Tom has made a strong contribution toward our business growth objectives and I have no hesitation in recommending his services.

Using Tom’s proof reading and copywriting expertise really helped freshen up the content on our new website and bring it up to date. He quickly got to the nub of what the job required. This allowed me to get on with the day job and the core business of looking after clients’ accounting needs, and I think he probably got an ‘A’ in English anyway!

Working with publisher Saraband, Tom’s PR skills helped boost sales of local award winning novel Making Shore by securing feature articles and interviews about the book in Lancashire Life magazine, the Lancashire Evening Post, the Blackpool Gazette, the Lytham St Annes Express, BBC Radio Lancashire and the Southport Reporter.’
