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

    Good Afternoon Keith,

    Trust you are well. I have just noticed that I have an old profile on the NIS Website for a previous company which I am no longer a part of. I cannot remember the password and the email address will be obsolete. Would you be able to remove the profile or direct me to an administrator that could ? Profile link as follows:

    Expertise:

    Am I missing something/somewhere else?
