Client Comment
Shine Creative - Sam Kipping, Managing Director
"Gill has an extremely creative approach to copywriting. She's flexible, confident and most importantly is able to adapt her writing skills to suit the many and varied market sectors we work in Retail, logistics, IT, travel - you name it, she can write something compelling about it! Gill is full of great inspiration when brainstorming ideas for advertisements, direct mail and numerous other forms of marketing material. She's now perceived as part of our team here at Shine, bringing together the appropriate words to make our pictures sparkle!"
SJD Accountancy - Julian Carnell, Sales and Marketing Director
"Rarely do people in business strive to impress as much as Gill does. She always goes the extra mile and never settles for anything that is average. We are a demanding professional firm of accountants and a leader within our field, but within a few articles Gill has instantly improved some of the key areas of our website. She not only meets the brief but always exceeds it, and with editing work, she doesn't just change the odd word here and there or add a little grammar and punctuation, if she feels that the piece would benefit from a complete overhaul she does it as a matter of course.
I have never met or worked with anyone more professional and easy to get on with. Most importantly, she is happy to make edits to her own work if we need her to, without us having that awkward niggly feeling about asking for any changes. Gill is a pleasure to work with, I have been delighted with her copywriting skills and I would be more than happy for people to contact me for a referral.”
Leadershape - Greg Young, Managing Director
"Gill is great to work with and she has the ability to take a brief effectively. She asks questions that demonstrate not only her understanding of a subject but also her ability to get quickly under the skin of complex subjects, within the context of the relevant marketplace. Her work hits all the buttons, plain speak that people can understand, combined with fast and efficient turnaround."
Corporate ICT - Paul Grant, Managing Director
"Gill's extensive telecoms background gives her a intuitive understanding of the message that I want to give out both to our customers or to our targeted new business contacts. She is a pleasure to work with."
Wireless Telecommunications - Shahram Bagherzadeh, Managing Director
"We have used several copywriting companies companies in the past, however, none have come close to providing the service Gill has. She is extremely knowledgeable about the marketplace and is exceptionally efficient providing a speedy turnaround always delivering what was promised and on time. With lots of new ideas and suggestions, Gill is a pleasure to work with due to her friendliness, helpfulness and professional 'can do' attitude".
GAP Internet Communications - Simon Paton, Managing Director
"Gill has written a number of case studies and leaflets for us. We exist in a very complex industry and so Gill's background and experience has been vital in enabling her to grasp what we do and to understand our audience. She has proved to be efficient and responsive and I would always be happy to recommend her writing skills to other companies."
DTZ - Anne Duggan, Senior Marketing Manager
"As a specialist shopping centre marketing consultant, I've worked with Gill since 2004 on a number of projects, large and small. Not only does she write great copy, she also goes that extra mile in providing me, and my clients, with a first rate service - getting to grips with the task quickly, dealing with difficult contributors, and sometimes impossible deadlines, but always delivering top quality material on time and to budget."
STL Communications - Brendon Cross, Managing Director
"Gill has continually demonstrated an understanding of our marketplace together with a technical competence that was previously very difficult to find. She always grasps the brief immediately and first class work is delivered, on time and without exception. It's a pleasure to work with such a professional and friendly company."
Blue Boar Contracts - Simon Potter, Managing Director
"Gill has been working with us for over two years now and during that time has written brochures, websites, articles, adverts and numerous case studies. We do not have an in-house marketing manager so it's great to work with someone like Gill who just gets on with it all and makes it happen without us having to chase it through and keep an eye on things. We give her the brief and the next thing we know, the job is done. She is very helpful and very good at communicating and keeping us posted on what is going on. You can't ask for more than that."
Mayflower plc - Mike Allison, Managing Director
"We have worked with Gill on case studies, adverts, leaflets and our new website. She is very good at taking our thoughts and crafting these into something that makes sense. It's great to have someone like Gill, who understands our industry so well, on hand when we need to communicate to our audience. She turns work around quickly and always meets or exceeds deadlines."
Annodata Ltd. - Nick Whitty, Marketing Director
"In new projects, such as website development, re-branding or programme collateral, the copywriting component can be time-consuming. However, in our complex business area - which deals with office equipment, document management, telecommunications, managed services and more - finding copywriting expertise which has the appropriate writing and communications skills, coupled with broad technical understanding, is not easy. Happily Gill Taylor meets all of these requirements, and she also has a disciplined approach to work organisation and to meeting our deadlines. In short, we have no hesitation in recommending her."
New Media Software - Phill McGowan, Managing Director
"Gill has written a number of case studies for us over the years. She is knowlegeable about our industry and I have never had to worry about her talking directly with our customers. The work she has done for us has been an asset to our marketing capabilities and I'd always be happy to recommend her to other business associates."
Tollring - Simon Whatley, Sales Director
"We have worked with Gill for the past couple of years and have always been very happy with the results. She has carried out a number of copywriting and PR activities for us including helping us to create a range of literature to promote our existing product range and also a new product which we recently added to our portfolio.
As a relatively small business, that does not require full time support, it is great to have someone like Gill to hand who we can call upon to help us with copywriting and PR activity when we need it. Her industry knowledge and understanding of our sales process overcomes the limited brief we always provide and her speed, attention to detail and friendly approach always make the process easy. Thanks Gill, more business on its way!"
Samsung Business Communications - Ali Zartash-Lloyd
Sales, Marketing and Services Director
My colleagues and Samsung’s partners have all found Gill to be exceptionally knowledgeable and efficient as well as being an excellent copywriter. We also recommend her services to our partners who require marketing support directly for themselves."
Crane Telecommunications - Andrew Saunders
Managing Director, Nortel and Mitel Business Unit
“Gill has been providing copywriting services for Crane for the past year and has helped us enormously to define our messages and turn these into structured and effective copy for a variety of purposes - including articles, case studies and marketing literature for not only the Nortel division of Crane but also for our Avaya division as well. She is also experienced enough for us to allow her to contact our partners directly when quotes are required and to draft these for our approval.
Many of the projects which we ask Gill to undertake often need a very fast turnaround and she has always been able to meet our requirements, working evenings, weekends and even when on holiday where necessary! I have been extremely happy with the great service she has provided for us on several projects and I would definitely recommend her to other companies in the industry who need services of this type."
