Earlier this week I was contacted by Ian Palmer, Director of The Marketing Café. Our paths first crossed when I applied to work for his company a year ago, we met again when the company moved to Spiersbridge Business Park in March- just as I was leaving Mine Digital.
He vowed to stay in touch should any copywriting work arise and remained true to his word. I shall be working in-house with the team for a couple of weeks from Monday the 14th. I am looking forward to meeting Account Manager Meg this Friday to go over the details.

Are you the type of person who avoids walking under a ladder or steps over the cracks on the pavement? How about continuously checking locks or that the oven is always turned off?
