Below are the words of people who I have written for and worked with. Happy to provide email addresses should anyone want to verify.
I am the Head of Communications for a major NHS Foundation Trust and I recently asked John to provide the team with some support and write some press stories for external and internal use.
Despite being a stranger to the NHS John listened to the brief closely and produced a number of items that were fit for publication immediately and were able to be placed on our website and in our staff magazines.
It has been good to work with John. He clearly knows how to work with a brief and produce copy fit for distribution and publication and I look forward to continuing to work with him.

John is a talented and conscientious writer with the ability to create engaging, unique and shareable content. He comes up with thoughtful ideas and works quickly and efficiently.
I highly recommend him for any writing project.
Emma Rowlands
Writer and administrator for Learn Freelance Writing
I had the pleasure of working with John over a period of 14 months. I worked closely with him to write engaging content about the programme we worked on for Everton in the Community. I have always found John to be incredibly professional, with an excellent eye for a story. Whether he was liaising with employers or meeting with individuals, John's approach and attitude was always impeccable, which aided him in producing quality content for a multitude of different audiences. John always goes above and beyond to understand the story and I would not think twice about recommending him to anyone looking for a quality journalist.

Approachable and easy to work with, John is full of ideas and always open to debating new sports topics that push the boundaries with fresh and punchy insights. His writing is full of personality - a great read.
Natasha Dobson
Editor in Chief/Founder at Travelling Peach Magazine
During my time as Director of Communications at Everton Football Club, John was an integral part of a 12-strong Department which produced a wide variety of editorial products across both traditional and new media platforms.
Enthusiastic, attentive, smart and desperately keen to both learn and progress, John was a delight to work alongside - someone I could trust and someone who would always take both advice and criticism with a smile and a good heart.
During my 45 years in journalism, I have come to accept one fundamental truism - those best suited to succeed are those who are willing to work hard to succeed. John is talented and, perhaps more saliently, is determined to carve out a meaningful career for himself.
I am happy to fully endorse him - and if any would-be employer wishes to contact me, please feel free on discretion55@mail.com.

John is a brilliant copywriter. I have had the opportunity of teaching him and reviewing his assignments, and he has impressed me many times.
He has also managed to make me laugh more than once, which is something one should look for in a copywriter. Besides being great at what he does, John is a great person. He is flexible, open, and transparent; he turns in his work on time and has a genuine care for details.
If you are looking for a copywriter, I would definitely recommend John.

John has been an enthusiastic member of our social media Team and can be relied upon to write engaging social media copy for posting within tight deadlines - I love his can-do approach.
He has also written some insightful blogs that can challenge thinking, especially around social justice and discrimination. Well done, John.
