Motive MD
Our agency founder and MD is a highly experienced media insider who spent six years working as a senior journalist on a national news title.

News sense and journalistic know-how underpins everything we do at Motive. Our skills mean we are able to provide media with content they can simply cut, paste and publish.

I started out as a reporter at the Nottingham Post before joining The Daily Mirror as a senior news reporter in 2001, working across the UK covering major news stories. Every experience I have had has helped me to develop my writing and wider communication skills.

In 2007 I went out on my own and eventually set up the agency. After working in hard news for many years it's been wonderful to use those skills to help clients spread their good news and positive messages.
