Professionally, I am a Marketeer, with a degree in Creative Writing and Film Studies and 10+ years experiences writing SEO-friendly content for websites, running social media accounts and basically pretending I know what the heck I’m doing…but then, aren’t we all?

I have left Grimsby several times for university, jobs etc, however as one of my greeting cards states “you can take the girl out of Grimsby, but you can’t take Grimsby out of the girl” and I have found myself back here and refusing to see the negativity that is often spouted – often unfairly – about our town.

My goal for Made in Grimsby has always been to help bridge the gap between businesses and customers, but it has also naturally grown into a place of positivity. I don’t have time for negativity, so if you’re looking for a place to spout vitriol about Grimsby, you have come to the wrong place.

However, don’t be misguided into thinking that my positivity makes me naive to the neglect of Grimsby and Cleethorpes. I am here to be the voice of small businesses and if I believe that we are being treated unfairly, I will say it and I will write open letters when necessary (we are paying attention, politicians).

Since I first launched Made in Grimsby & Cleethorpes, the needs of businesses has changed immensely and so has the way I am helping them.
