Transport, Energy and Infrastructure Writer

I combine research analysis and journalism to turn complex transport, energy and supply-chain systems into clear, credible industry writing.

Where writing is 40% research and 60% creativity, research analysis is 60% research and 40% creativity. Writers will be biased towards qualitative research but analysts will also use quantitative research – Excel spreadsheets to generate original data. This is where I differ to more traditional transport writers – I break new ground using primary research as opposed to secondary research on the part of the writer. 

I have worked with organisations and publications across the UK, EU, North America and Oceania.

See my rich portfolio of research analysis, transport writing, sustainable transport writing, sailing writing and social affairs writing that I have done over the last 20+ years.

Research-Driven Writing

Unlike many freelance writers, my work combines:

  • Primary research
  • Industry analysis
  • Financial context
  • Journalistic storytelling

This allows organisations to publish credible thought leadership rather than marketing copy.

  • Research reports and white papers
  • Industry analysis and white papers
  • Trade Publication journalism
  • Company and market profiles
  • Feature writing and investigative journalism

  • Nursing Standard
  • Inside Housing
  • Mental Health Today

Working With PR Agencies

Many PR agencies need writers who can quickly understand complex industries and translate technical material into credible thought leadership.

Alongside editorial work for trade publications, I regularly support agencies producing white papers, industry analysis and executive commentary in transport, logistics and energy.
