By Professional, I mean someone who:

• Is fully aware of budgets and deadlines: good value and delivered on time
• Understands and embraces the brief: giving it their undivided attention
• Communicates and is always available: at the start and all along the way
• Is meticulous and rigorous: good at what they do
• Gets on with it: doesn't query or question incessantly - unless instructed otherwise!
• Is flexible, reliable and approachable

By Qualified, I mean someone who:

• Has had the best possible training available in the UK
• Maintains standards and awareness of trends through trade organizations and publications
• Continually updates training and knowledge: learning is never finished
• Is developing a trusted client base that is happy to provide endorsements
• Has broad life experience too: being good at working with words is part of a wider context!
