Some testimonials
NHS South West Essex - unsolicited recommendation from former communications head to a colleage in another primary care trust.
I can recommend a guy we have been working with (and continue to work with), who had extensive experience across many areas.
Matthew Salisbury has worked with our PCT to put together various strategic documents, to copywrite, edit and proofread materials (including our Strategic Business Plan) for public and staff audiences, in a form which can be clearly understood without losing the core meaning (we were very pleased with the results!). His rates are very reasonable for such an expert in this field.

Sky Creative – copywriting, editing and proofing of off-air materials
Matthew came to us for just a few days and ended up filling a much longer gap. Over about eight months he put in more than 850 hours' work. He fitted in well with the team, was there when we needed him, and helped to ensure that the quality of our written workmatched the same high standard as our overall creative output. I would have no hesitation in recommending Matthew to anyone who may require his skillset.
Andy Faulkner, Head of Off Air Media
Crazy Horse Brand Response Ltd – checking promotional copy, direct mail etc.
SWA have offered an exceptional proofreading service. As a busy advertising agency we were often unable to offer more than a couple of hours' notice when we needed something checked. However they were extremely flexible, working late evenings and over the weekend to meet our client deadlines and have a genuine enthusiasm and commitment to getting the job done. It has been a pleasure working with them ... I would and often do recommend them to our business contacts. Many thanks for all the hard work.

Some testimonials
PRG-Schultz – desk-top research and report writing.
Peter worked for a six-month period on our prestigious financial services client, PRG-Schultz. During this assignment he did all the telephone survey work and writing for a detailed piece of desktop market research which won the commendation of the client. We would be pleased to refer him for similar survey and written work.

Major oil client – management newsletters for global distribution.
Peter worked on an important newsletter for a major client. Because it was a first, it was critical we got the right tone for the publication. Also it was distributed worldwide, so it was vital that we presented a mass of sometimes complex subject matter clearly, concisely and interestingly. Peter achieved this in a remarkably short space of time and we were delighted to ask him back to do the same.
Paul Cowan, managing partner, Clever Media.

Portcullis Public Affairs – rewrite of website.
Peter demonstrated a good strategic grasp of our industry and succeeded in rewriting our website copy so that the messages we wanted to get across, in the tone we wanted, were clear, concise and jargon-free. His professionalism and flexibility in meeting the brief were admirable and I have not hesitated in recommending him to our clients.
