Have you missed me? What I've been up to...

Do you know what businesses are really bad at? Taking ages to build and launch a website that could be handy for driving new business....

Then, when they do finally launch it, they forget to keep it updated, especially the case study and blog sections, which should be the places to continually show their expertise in their field.

Yep, I'm guilty. All those small businesses I've done work and nagged to keep their website fresh and updated, and now I've done it myself....

But I have a good excuse why.

Over a year ago now, in September 2025, I took a part-time job. Over a year later, I'm still there loving it. It's Marketing & Communications Manager for Organ Donation in Wales. 3 days a week. It's a lovely and rewarding job. A tough job as it's trying to encourage everyone to sign up to the organ donor register, even though everyone thinks they're already on there because of the law change. But lovely and rewarding, I get to meet so many inspirational people - families of donors, donor recipients, people on the waiting list....

Anyway, since then getting the job obviously I've had to reduce my self-employed work to 1 day a week (I care for my niece on the other day). I've ended up with a waiting list and having to turn work away. It's a weird position to be in, after spending 4 years trying to build a sustainable business. But I love my new job, and equally love being able to help businesses fix things, and grow.

So right now I can't do any big meaty projects like interim leadership, but I can still fit in smaller pieces of work like marketing audits, marketing training and coaching and digital marketing power hours.

That's where I'm at. If you want my help with anything, drop me a line and I'll see if/how I can fit you in :)
