What I Do Best
Here are some of the skills I can offer your organisation
Administrator
Getting to grips quickly with a company's operating system, management style, software and organisation is something that I am particularly good at as a temporary administrator. I also fit in well with permanent members of staff and I am often called on to provide support for contracts ranging from one day to several months.
Sub editor
I am an excellent sub editor, overseeing the content, accuracy, layout and design of online and print articles, making sure that they are in keeping with house style. I write excellent headlines, standfirsts, and captions, and check copy to ensure it is accurate, adheres to copyright laws, and is not libellous.
Editor/ Event organiser
I can commission and write content and liaise with designers, advertisers, printers and distributors to produce a complete publication from start to finish often with a short time frame and tight budget.
I also have experience of helping organise conferences and trade exhibitions in the Far East.
I'M GOOD AT THESE THINGS TOO.......
Project management
As an established property developer I have experience of managing projects from start to finish, liaising with estate agents, contractors, and tenants. As a Director of an RTM company I set and keep to strict budgets and deadlines
Photo editing
I can use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to manipulate photos and graphics to appear their best
Using the latest software
I ensure that I keep my IT skills up to date by attending the latest courses. I can produce and edit copy and pages in QuarkXpress and Adobe InDesign as well as creating and managing websites in WordPress. I use the latest versions of Microsoft Office products in my role as an administrator
Publishing
With an eye for innovation and being able to spot gaps in the market I have experience of publishing consumer magazines and directories myself. I can do all the necessary market research, test demand and take a publication from an idea into a viable publication. I can generate content and advertisements, design layouts and organise production, circulation and distribution
Content writing
I can write jargon-free, concise communications for both web and print, often on complex issues, and to strict deadlines. I can write features, news reports, product listings and promotional material
Working across platforms
I can work across any platform whether it be in print or online
