"Rachel has done a great job as copywriter on our last five annual reports and has made an often tedious process much less painful. She is able to cut through the corporate verbiage and articulate our story and strategy in a clear and compelling way, as well as finding the right stories to bring it to life."

Ian Robson
Finance Director, Ashtead Group

"Working with Rachel was a joy and a breeze. She quickly established good working relationships with the team and clients. Her wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise across a broad range of PR disciplines are deployed with a collaborative grace.  And she can do all that in Mandarin too!"
