A note from Neil

I started out as a copywriter more than 18 years ago, not long after leaving the University of Glasgow with an MA in English Language and Literature. I was looking for a way to use my writing skills to help people explain what they do, reach the right audiences, and make a meaningful change in the world.

After almost a decade as a generalist copywriter, working with everyone from children’s nail polish brands to luxury property developers and law firms, I began to specialise in the areas where I had the most interest and could deliver the most value: technology, video games, and purposeful organisations such as charities, community projects and social enterprises. Over the past 10 years, I’ve been fortunate to write consistently for some of the world’s biggest IT vendors, leading consumer electronics brands, exciting gaming projects, and people working hard to make the world better.

Today, most Wheatleys projects are still led directly by me. I’m the person you’ll speak to, and in most cases, I’m the person who’ll write your copy. When a brief needs more scale or specialist support, I can also call on a trusted network of experienced external writers. So whether you’re a small business, a marketing agency, or part of a larger team with an important project to deliver, I’d love to talk about how Wheatleys could help.
