Technical Author & Niche Market Publisher
Focus Sectors
-
Motorsports
As a former competitor and senior race official at international events from karting to Formula 1, I have produced a wide range of web content, technical, regulatory, and operational publications for governing bodies, organisations and clubs around the world.
-
Automotive
With hands on experience of the prestige automotive market I can produce effective process documentation and compelling marketing and sales collateral. I am equally adept at producing documentation for the motorcycle, mountain biking and farm machinery sectors.
-
Offshore Energy
Decades of international supply chain management experience in this sector enables me to write authoritatively about all aspects of materials control, road transportation, logistics, supply base, aviation, and marine operations.
-
Local Interest
In between projects for clients, I like to write about those topics that interest me; local history, transportation, kart racing and other forms of motorsport, my home city of Aberdeen, the ‘Doric, the Dons and football refereeing.
“Good Writing is Clear Thinking Made Visible”
Kart Racing is a fast, exciting, and intense form of motorsport, predominately these days for 6-to-18-year-old competitors.
By necessity, the sport’s technical and sporting regulations are complex and as a senior official at international competitions it was patently evident that younger competitors [and their parents!] seldom read the regulations, and if they did, they encountered difficulty in interpreting and complying with them.
The solution? “Racing Rules Explained”, a 144-page book, written in an easy-to-read style and highly illustrated with explanatory diagrams and cartoons to suit the target age-group.
With over 4,000 copies published since 2013, this innovative publication has been widely acclaimed, translated and adopted by governing bodies, organisations, clubs, and circuits around the world.
Recent editions of the book have proudly included a Foreword by Formula 1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel and Mercedes F1’s new star George Russell.
Bespoke editions have been specially produced for: Australia, Barbados, Lebanon, Malaysia, Netherlands, Oman, Scotland, Thailand, Trinidad & Tobago, UK, and the United Arab Emirates.
