Please contact Tim to discuss your needs. Whatever you require, we'll tailor a course that's perfect for your people.
We worked with The Writing Hut to develop a staff training programme and embed our house style. Using real-life examples we created an interactive course that was relevant to people’s roles, helping them communicate more effectively – be that to customers, staff or the press. Most importantly, it’s shown that, far from being a dark art, good copywriting can be learned and put into practice by everyone – it can even be fun!
Tim has a supportive and encouraging training style – words become fun, rather than something to be grappled with or forgotten as quickly as possible.
