About Me

After a long time as a full time television journalist I set up as an independent tv news producer in southern France.

In recent years I have branched out into corporate communications providing media training for executives mainly in the aerospace and innovation sectors across Europe. I coach clients before they speak to the media or at events where the press is present helping them tell compelling stories and making sure these are not missed opportunities. I am frequently asked to moderate panel discussions often in the same aerospace field. As moderator I help and encourage speakers to provide something fresh for the audience to take away and say ‘I learnt/heard something new today I didn’t know.”

Also had my first book published looking back at my time as a journalist in France. The title ” Are you the foie gras correspondent? Another slow news day in south west France”

I still work each month for BBC News from France  as I am still drawn to telling amazing stories.
