Happy 4th birthday to CRS Editorial.

Please forgive this little self-indulgence, but as I often hear we should celebrate our wins, this is quite a significant one for me.

Overcoming adversity

The uncertainty presented by redundancy from my position as editor at my previous company – where I was for over 15 years – left me at a crossroads at the back end of September 2020.

Backed by a still-burning passion to help businesses and individuals with their words, 1 October 2020 saw me venture into the world of self-employment.

It’s been difficult – I won’t lie – but what in life worth fighting for comes easy?

A big thank you

There are far too many people to thank for helping me get to this point. If I listed everybody, I’d likely reach the maximum number of characters!

A huge thank you to those who have shown me their support, believed in me and, crucially, to my valued clients who have put their trust in experience.

Thank you very much!
