Nick has served the traditional apprenticeship for a seasoned PR professional, starting with a degree in Journalism with English at the University of Central Lancashire, followed by post-graduate journalism training at Darlington College. Nick's career commenced at titles such as the Hexham Courant (news reporter and features writer) and the Gloucestershire Echo (deputy features editor and sub), developing his knowledge of journalism, beer, women and football. More interests include music, literature and cycling, and Nick completed the BUPA Great North Run in aid of his nominated charity Wellchild.

Nick moved on to manage PR for Bang & Olufsen stores across the UK but was tempted back to journalism to help relaunch the ad industry 'bible' Campaign magazine in Dubai.

Then back to London to work at Haymarket HQ in Hammersmith, editing news for C&IT magazine - a top title for many of our clients and a role that included building international contacts, research, blogging and live forums.
