Real results from real clients

Let’s get straight to the strong stuff and hear directly from my incredibly clients.

“Amy is fab! We started working with her in May 2025 and already our reach, and the amount of press and interest we’ve had has been almost overwhelming – Amy actively looks for interesting angles we can be part of, and has got us into newspapers, online magazines and even on the radio! Exactly what we needed and really understands what we’re all about. Can’t recommend her highly enough.”

Vicki Fletcher | Little City UK

“Amy is fantastic to work with. A fountain of knowledge and an absolute marketing pro.”

Sarah Temprell | Keep it Simple

“I highly recommend Gatekeeper Communications. The work that Amy has done has been professional, greatly impactful and shown real results.”

Kate Hammond

“Amy is an awesome reporter writer, she can bring together detailed data, insight and experience into a cohesive and informative document with ease. And all that whilst managing multiple collaborators- she made it look easy!”

Janine Owen | J&Co

“When I booked on to a ‘Power Hour’ with Amy I was hoping for a critique of my blog writing. What I came away with was so much more! I left the call armed with a solid framework that will support me through each step of the blog writing process. My time on the call with Amy was packed full of brilliant tools and tips – it’s no wonder it’s called a ‘Power Hour’!”

Tania Prior | Prior&Co

“I worked with Amy on the SME Marketing Playbook. Amy spear-headed the project, created the research survey, compiled and wrote up the results AND handled the press release! It’s a fantastic piece of work that we’re all so proud to have contributed towards, but it wouldn’t have come off at all if it wasn’t for Amy. Her PR coverage has seen the piece picked up by 8 news outlets already – and it only launched yesterday! Thanks so much Amy. I hope we can work together again in the future.”

Helen Feeley | Indie Marketing

“Amy has helped with our copywriting, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. She totally gets how businesses are busy and has saved us time (and money!) by taking the stress away and required minimum input from us. Just cracked on with the work! Thanks Amy and I will be definitely using her services again.”

Carla Corigliano | Sanderson Transport

“Amy truly understands how to bring ideas to life with engaging and professional content. She is creative, reliable, and a pleasure to work with, always delivering on time and exceeding expectations. I highly recommend Amy for anyone looking for high-quality copywriting services!”

Rebecca Cullen | Inspired Lifestyles

“Amy has been professional, knowledgeable and friendly throughout the time I’ve worked with her. She has always had my business interests at the forefront of our conversations, and she understood what I was trying to achieve from our first conversation. She worked on a speedy turnaround for articles and captured my ‘voice’ in the articles she briefed for me. I’d happily work with Amy again.”

Katy Edwards | Forest Digby

“It’s always a pleasure working with Amy. Insightful, creative and extremely well organised. Highly recommend!”

Owen Marshall

“Amy is both very knowledgeable and thoughtful in her approach to our copywriting needs. She has been extremely helpful and full of very great ideas and suggestions also – absolutely loved working with Amy and would recommend her 100%!”

Daniel Haden-Scott | Creightive

“It has been a pleasure working with Gatekeeper Communications for the past few months. The work produced was exactly what we were looking for and we received nothing but a friendly yet professional service that kept us on schedule. I look forward to working with Amy again in the future.”

Kristie Holiday  | Ensors

“We’ve been working with Amy to research and write our comprehensive candidate and client guides, as well as ongoing blog support for our website. Amy’s articles have always been thoroughly researched, well written, and interesting to read. Amy has understood our audience and tailored her writing to each distinct audience. What’s more, each article has been provided in advance of deadlines along with ideas for further content. We would highly recommend her to anyone.”

Kate Allen  | Allen Associates

“Hands-down, Amy is one of the best, if not the best PR and events specialist I know. She has an innate and unique ability to see a story when others cannot. When web and printed copy space is at a premium, with hundreds of PRs vying for the same coverage, having Amy handle your PR is a game-changer. I know this because I have worked with her for many years, in house and as a consultant. She’s as persuasive in person as she is on paper. I’ve also seen her put on the most spectacular events; from full-on awards ceremonies to niche sector-specific workshops and webinars. She really is the expert planner!”

Emma Plummer

“I’ve worked with Amy for a number of years and she’s always been able to understand what we do as a business and the complexities surrounding the sectors in which we work. Amy can create new ideas and strategies which are in line with our business goals and she’s always keen to help us find new ways of reaching out to our candidates.”
