I spent over twenty years working in professional marketing for key organisations including InterCity, Network South East and Transport for London as well as a spell in a top flight advertising agency as an Account Director. In 2007 I decided it was time to re-focus and set up my own marketing consultancy. I now use my experience to help businesses and charities.
I work on a mixed fee and not-for-profit basis. The latter is primarily to help local businesses together with charities including The Greenwood Centre , African Revival , Friends of Bushy & Home Parks , Linden Hall and Fara with marketing, publicity, PR and fundraising.

I am an enthusiastic champion of our local community. I help organise and promote events such as the Hampton Hill Christmas Parade and the new Summer Festival. I also organise co-ordinated marketing, advertising and pr campaigns on behalf of our local businesses.
Through both my not for profit and my professional consultancy work my objectives are to help develop partnerships between local businesses and locally based charities, as well as fostering and developing the community spirit that makes Hampton Hill and our thriving High Street so special.
Please do contact me if you‘d like to know more about any of our events or if you’d like to discuss any aspect of local marketing, advertising and PR.
From the moment Richard visited my hotel, The Victorian Villa,
he has shown such wonderful enthusiasm and drive for my project.
With Richard's help, the Victorian Villa has featured in the
Hampton Hill Magazine and local newspapers and on various poster
promotions and on Radio Jackie. His willingness to help local
traders and the local community is second to none.
