Freelance Writing

As well as writing this blog, I also write freelance and have contributed numerous pieces on restaurants and food to a number of publications including The Telegraph and Evening Standard Food Magazine. I'm a correspondent for the global bars and nightlife website BarChick and am Editor-At-Large and lead reviewer for the luxury travel guide Les Deux Messieurs. Square Meal named me as one of their 'Food Bloggers To Follow In 2013' and I am one of the few bloggers chosen by new site Foodverdicts to inform their definitive London restaurant scores.

Consultancy

I'm frequently approached to consult on hospitality projects including restaurant launches, menu design, expansion plans and brand positioning. I have worked with a wide range of consultancy clients including fine dining restaurants, fast-casual brands and small independents seeking to expand or diversify. I also have extensive professional experience of customer service delivery and complaint handling. 

To discuss how I might help with your project and hourly, half-daily and daily rates, please get in touch.

Social Media

Baffled by blogging? Fazed by Facebook? In a twist over Twitter? In just three years I've grown TwelvePointFivePercent.com from a starter blog to one of Urbanspoon's Top 25 London restaurant blogs as well as building and maintaining a substantial Twitter following. I have trained individuals and small businesses on using Twitter for business (and pleasure!) and have enabled people to 'get' social media who previously couldn't.

Lyn Cecil, CEO of Secretaries Plus said, "We found it extremely helpful when you came in and trained us twitterless wannabes on the etiquette and 'how to's ' of tweeting for business."

I'm also open to discussing other projects and ideas so please get in touch if you'd like to arrange an informal chat.
