Tell Us About Your Business

I'm a Marketing Communications Professional with extensive client side and agency experience. I've worked as a freelance copywriter since 1987, specialising in direct marketing, brochures, newsletters and web content, especially (but not exclusively) in the financial, technology, telecomms and leisure sectors. I have an entrepreneurial streak, having set up and running three businesses and I love training and presenting. I'm developing Networking in Surrey to promote and facilitate face-to-face local networking (kind of 'what it says on the tin' really!)

I'm also a Qualiified Trainer with ReallyConnect, the world's first Certified LinkedIn Training organisation, helping corporates and SMEs exploit the full potential of online business networking.

"Keith is Mr Networking in Surrey! Always smiling, always supportive - a natural networker. He has been a great help to me in promoting some workshops that I run. Thank you Keith." Ian Crocker, Abslolute Learning

"I met Keith through the Trafford Elmbridge Focus Group to which we both belong. Good company- he has also breathed new life - or at least new language and ideas into my marketing material and website. I advise clients to stick to what they do best and get specailist help in other areas. We forget this for ourselves at our peril!" Jeremy Webb, SatNav4Business

    Thank you Keith

    Ian James recommended you to me.  I run an International Breakfast Club aimed at creating a sanctuary for business leaders and for collaboration.  I don't charge for it.

    We have guest speakers and in June we have the Bank of England sending a rep.  It's a fun vibrant group.

    We have one company for each sector.  My speciality is international trade, namely Asia.  I also have strong ICT and Business Development skills which I also tend to offer as part of my offering.

  • Kim Gregory

    Hi Keith.

    Ian is certainly an incomparable source of local knowledge and contacts, isn't he? He's also a lovely man so I'm delighted that we now have another group in common!

    Thanks for your email and I'm delighted to say that I've successfully uploaded a photo (always a relief!).

    Kindest regards
