My Background
		I am a fully trained, qualified and experienced marketing professional, holding full membership (MCIM) to the Chartered Institute of Marketing.
		Freelance Marketing
		I have been carrying out marketing projects on a freelance basis since 2000, and have many very satisfied customers. At the moment the majority of my clients are food businesses but I am very happy to work with non food companies and do so when approached.
		Marketing and Food Employment
		I have spent nine years working in the food industry prior to setting up a freelance marketing business. Positions included retail store management for a major UK supermarket chain, and marketing manager for high quality cheese company. My experiences were very wide, covering all areas of the marketing mix.
		Academic Qualifications
		I am a full member (MCIM) of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, having successfully completed the Marketing Diploma in 1997. I also hold a BSc (Hons) in Agricultural and Food Marketing, completed at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne (1991).
