Who, What, Where, When

I’m a budding marketing professional and part-time photographer-designer-blogger. I make my living as a marketing & communications manager for a B2B/B2C distributor of industrial fasteners and engineering supplies – mainly serving customers operating in the Oil & Gas industry. As I have a passion for marketing, I also spend some of my spare time volunteering my services to informal businesses and small start-ups… get in touch if you think I can help.
