Oh, hello there. My name is Simon, and I'm a content and copywriter with more than seven years' worth of experience. Over the years, I've honed my skills, learning how to tell a story through the written word.
Whether it's a short and snappy blog post, 10,000 word ebook or snazzy infographics, I like to take audiences on a journey with writing that makes them feel like we're in the room together.
My experience has seen me write just about everything from articles to white papers, and I'm just as comfortable penning concise web copy or a social media post as I am writing long-form content.
I've written for a number of well-known brands, such as Deliveroo, easyJet and Shell; I've also had worked featured in UK publications and papers that include Techradar, The Telegraph, Metro and The Times.
Working with clients in different industries – real estate, travel, technology, finance – has given me the experience to tell stories for just about anything, whether you're selling the latest smart tech or trying to shift hose clamps. And I can just as easily do it in UK or US English (my French needs a bit of work, though).
This article breaks down key terminology in the UK rental market, providing renters with easily digestible soundbites that gives them more confidence when they rent a home.
