Ben Francis
Customer Engagement Manager, LTA

I highly recommend Craig to anyone who would require editorial support, from feature writing through to proofreading, Craig’s attention to detail and keenness to be able to relate to the audience was impressive. Craig assisted me with the modernisation of an outdated newsletter for ECB’s cricket umpires and scorers into a professional magazine that the content deserved. I had a vision which Craig, managing his team, turned into reality via highly competent project management, fine tuning supplied content and developing a flatplan to work from. I extremely valued the editing and proofreading that Craig undertook for me, releasing valuable hours in the week to deliver other projects – I quickly knew I was in safe hands.
