What it’s like to work with us

“I’ve been working with Sarah for the last 16 years and she feels like part of the team. We are a complex business that operates in many markets and can be a difficult organisation to understand, but Sarah gets it and is able to streamline what we offer into succinct messaging.  Sarah is super organised and works quite independently giving our experts more time to focus on what they need to do. Sarah has significantly helped to grow the exposure of our brand in the UK.”

Rob Greenwood, Head of Sales and Marketing Performance, TÜV SÜD

“Since we have been working with Sarah, our media coverage has increased spectacularly, as she understands what interests journalists. People in our industry are now commenting on how NEL has increased its profile, as they are reading our articles and news stories in the press. Her efficient running of our account means that she is extremely effective at spotting opportunities and delivering results.”

Marietta Hughes, Marketing Manager, National Engineering Laboratories

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sarah for nearly five years, and from day one I was truly impressed. As a copywriter, she has a rare talent: turning complex, highly technical, and often dry subject matter into engaging, digestible content that’s a true pleasure to read (well, if you’re the target group at least ;)).

Sarah delivers exceptional quality and works very fast. She asks the right questions, quickly gets to the heart of what needs to be communicated, and consistently produces work that elevates our messaging. Her ability to balance clarity, creativity, and technical accuracy is truly outstanding.

Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Sarah is lucky. She’s a true professional, a gifted writer, and an absolute asset to any team.”

Katarina Linzner, Marketing Business Partner, TÜV SÜD

“It’s hard to put into words just how brilliant Sarah is, but I’ll give it a go. Working with her felt effortless because she’s always prepared, fully engaged, and somehow two steps ahead of everyone else. Sarah brings everything to the table – strategy, creativity, and most importantly, real results in the form of high-level audience engagement.

If you get the chance to work with her, take it. You won’t regret it.”

Grant Gibbs, Senior Manager for Energy Storage at TÜV SÜD

“I had the pleasure of working with Sarah over a period of five years, during which she supported our team as a copywriter across a range of content and campaigns. Throughout that time, she proved to be extremely reliable, always delivering high-quality copy – even in projects where the briefings evolved over time or timelines were tight.

Sarah has a strong ability to translate complex topics into clear, accessible language — an essential skill in the communication strategy of any technical company. Whether the audience consisted of professional experts or private individuals, she adapted the tone and level of detail accordingly, ensuring the message remained both accurate and engaging.

Beyond the work itself, collaborating with Sarah was always easy and enjoyable – she was a great sparring partner for developing ideas and refining messaging. I’d be happy to work with her again anytime.”

Lena Nordland Berg, Co-Founder mia energie

“I have worked with Sarah for many years and she has always supplied expertly-written commentary, opinion pieces and features. She always comes up with interesting feature ideas and presents succinct synopses. Her features are always engaging and well-written, delivered on time, and with attractive accompanying images.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Sarah for any technical writing projects or editorial feature-writing tasks.”

Michelle Lea, Editor, Automation and Process & Control

“As the Editor of two UK based publications, I have worked with Sarah for many years. Her articles are always very well researched, engaging and written in a manner that perfectly meets out target audience. In addition, she always meets deadlines – often ahead of time. Sarah is an absolute pleasure to work with.”

Rachael Morling, Editor, Design Solutions and Energy & Sustainability Solutions 

“I have never doubted that you would get the copy to me on time, and to an excellent standard, which is what every editor needs! Many thanks for making my job easier.”

Gail Hunt, Editor, Machinery Update

“I’ve had the pleasure to have worked with Sarah for many years during my time at TUV SUD. Her time keeping and professional approach is key to her and TUV SUD’s success with the many articles we’ve collaborated on over the years.

Sarah can decipher highly technical material into a readable format for the masses. Thank you, Sarah, for your support over the years and for reminding me to read the draft articles to meet the publishers’ deadlines!”

Phil Evans, Business Development Director, Connectivity (Northern Europe) TÜV SÜD

“If you need someone to help the reach of your company’s technical content, I’d highly recommend Sarah.

Efficient and persistent is how I would describe Sarah. I must have published countless articles thanks to her efforts. Through her hard work and connections, she has helped expertly pitch my article ideas to trade press articles across various industries. It’s been great working with Sarah over the past 12 years.”

Dr Chris Mills, Senior Engineering Consultant, National Engineering Laboratories

“Sarah is a pleasure to work, and I would highly recommend her to any scientific or engineering company looking to publish trade press articles.

Over the years, Sarah used her excellent connections with magazine editors to allow us many opportunities to communicate our work in appropriate publications. This usually involved taking a large volume of complicated information on a relatively dry subject and reducing it to a short but compelling pitch. Sarah is an expert at this, not only due to her exceptional communication skills, but also because she puts in the time required to really understand the subject.”

Marc MacDonald, Head of Clean Fuels, TÜV SÜD

“I’ve been working with Sarah and www.blaze-pr.co.uk for a number of years now during my time at TUVSUD. I can thoroughly recommend her as a great partner for media relations, technical copywriting and digital content creation. She’s been particularly supportive to me in the area of thought leadership articles. Give her a shout if you need any support for your business in any of these areas.”

Marcus Sampson, Business Development Director, TÜV SÜD

“Sarah is a great support and works just like she’s one of our team. She gets on with the job quickly, which minimises the time I have to dedicate to public relations and lets me think about the bigger picture. I know I can trust Sarah to get on with the PR and her friendly approach means I enjoy working with her.”

Carolyn Wojtas, Head of Marketing, Phoenix IT

“I have worked with Sarah for many years now as she consistently makes a valuable contribution to our PR efforts. From the basics of actually making us consider what our message is, through to research and pitching our stories into the media, she is always helpful and responsive. More than just our ‘PR person’, I consider Sarah part of our team and a friend, and hope we continue to work together for many more years to come.”

James Horne, Marketing Manager, Chemring
