About Simon
I have six years of experience writing articles and blogs. I specialise in Food & Drink to tie in with my degree, a BSc Hons in Catering Management, Food Science, and Nutrition from Oxford Brookes University. I also qualified from the Blackford Centre with a Diploma in Copywriting.
In addition to food and drink, I have also written on many other topics, including destination guides and hospitality, tech (BPA, RPA, Sprint Design), home automation, educational skiing content, and CBD.
I am used to incorporating SEO terms and headings into copy either manually or with Surfer SEO. I use Grammarly routinely in my writing, and I am careful to ensure that my finished copy is of high quality, with little need for correction. I often write in MS Word, but I am equally able to write and format using Google Docs or WordPress.
"Simon was a huge asset for this project, it's safe to say without him we wouldn't have pleased our client to the level we were able. Will for sure continue to work with Simon in the future." Richard, A Digital
