Turn your achievements into recognition, without the stress.
You’ve done the hard work. Now let’s make sure you get the spotlight you deserve. Whether you’re aiming for a local business award, a sector-specific accolade, or a national title, I work with businesses to write compelling, criteria-driven award submissions that showcase your impact, your story, and your strengths.
From Ipswich and Colchester to Bury St Edmunds and Felixstowe, as an award copywriter, I’ve helped businesses across Suffolk and Essex (and across the UK) transform their achievements into award-winning entries.

Why hire a professional award writer?
Most businesses don’t lack achievements. They lack time, headspace, and a storytelling strategy.
I’ve written winning entries for everything from the EADT Business Awards to national schemes like the Recruiter Awards and CIPR Excellence Awards. I’ve even written a successful UK Honours nomination.
Here’s what a professional award writer brings to the table
What I offer
Strategic storytelling
Judges connect emotional impact to data-driven wins.
They want to know what you did, but also why it mattered, how it worked, and what impact it had.
Criteria-led clarity.
Award criteria can be vague, wordy, or downright confusing.
I’ll make sure every word aligns to category criteria
Time-saving structure.
From discovery calls to evidence-gathering, I’ll guide you through each step and keep things moving.
Confidence without cringe.
Many SMEs worry about sounding boastful. I help you strike the right tone, one where you are confident, not cocky; proud, not pushy.
External perspective
I bring fresh eyes, ask the right questions, and uncover the angles that make your entry stand out.
How to write a winning business award entry
The most effective business award entries are persuasive yet factual. They tell a compelling story while presenting solid evidence of why you deserve to win.
The common thread? A strong story, backed by evidence, told with purpose.
Business award submissions need to be a collaborative process. Together, we’ll sit and talk about what you’ve achieved and how it stands out compared to your peers. Through concise yet persuasive copy, the judges will immediately understand:
- How your business success helps your customers
- The positive impact you make on your stakeholders
Your entry will be tailored to each specific application form, ensuring clarity and confidence every step of the way
I break down my award writing services into a five-step process, making it clear what we need to do from the very start to bring you the success that your business deserves.

Who should hire a freelance award writer?
There are many reasons why you might need to hire a freelance award writer. Perhaps you’re stretched internally, or maybe you’ve had great success, but you’re not sure how to get the facts down on paper.
Hiring a professional copywriter is the right step for you if you are an:
Whether you’re a Suffolk-based start-up or an established Essex brand, I’ll help you tell your story with clarity, confidence, and credibility.
Worried about award entry deadlines or costs?
You’re not alone. Many SMEs leave award entries until the last minute, and that’s when it becomes impossible to do justice to your story. The earlier we start, the more strategic and stress-free the process becomes.
I offer a fully managed service when it comes to award entry writing, but if we’re starting fresh, I’ll need time to work closely with your team to gather the right material. Ideally, someone in-house can help collect data and testimonials, while I shape it into a compelling narrative.
Pricing is tailored to the scope (word count, criteria complexity, supporting documentation) so you always know exactly what you’re investing in and why.
