After gaining an OND in Business Studies I started my career with the BBC in London, where I worked in the Publicity Department and as programme assistant on a variety of programmes including Spanish and French for South America and Canada, Features & Drama, and Pop & Light Music.
I have also trained in hairdressing and beauty therapy, setting up my own business, and worked as a sales associate for Hambro Life, and in full service advertising/marketing agencies as an account manager and PR manager.
In 1991 I established my own public relations consultancy, Blackwood Communications, with clients across a broad spectrum of industrial, business-to-business and consumer sectors. I also have a good knowledge and understanding of the public and third sectors through positions I hold on a range of boards, committees and partnerships.
In addition to writing news, general and technical articles for clients I have written feature articles for Better Business Magazine and am currently a freelance features writer for Sign-Link magazine.
