Who we are

Marie Spanswick

Marie Spanswick has been a writer, journalist and PR person for 30 years, working with charities, local authorities, housing companies and many kinds of products and businesses. She has a passion for getting rid of corporate tosh and bull, and getting companies and organisations to make sure their words fit the loveliness of their people, their logo and their brand. And best of all, give their customers the top service they deserve by communicating more clearly.

As a journalist, she interviewed Take That, joined the army in the first Gulf war and was in Bosnia during peacekeeping missions. She once witnessed a man setting himself on fire - and, of course, wrote about it.

Marie has won two national PR awards and was a finalist in the UK wide Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) Excellence Awards.

Debbie Greene

Debbie has worked in PR and communications for over 20 years. She’s great at networking and an outstanding editor, with a great eye for detail and a passion for social media. She knows no-nonsense when she sees them. She’s highly creative but has her feet firmly on the floor. She connects her creativity and her superb organisational skills.

She’s convinced celebs to work for free, she’s juggled two TV crews at the same event and even persuaded a government minister to ride a precarious looking penny-farthing bike for press shots, even though at the start he said - absolutely and categorically - he couldn’t or wouldn’t do it.

Oh, and she’s got a few gongs to her name too. Debbie has won awards for her work in both the education sector and the housing sector.

Things people have said about us:

Working with Marie

It's so easy to churn out words that are predictable, what's far harder to achieve, that Marie does so well, is true creativity. She can see through the corporate mist to turn jargon into exciting words that make sense. If you're looking for a wordsmith that writes (and speaks) in English that makes sense, then Marie's your girl.

- Ian Mumford, Creative Director

Marie’s work radically changed both our internal and external communication, resulting in improved levels of customer satisfaction - and played an important part in us achieving our objective of becoming a better, high performing housing association.

- Steve Benson, past president of Chartered Institute of Housing, currently Chief Executive with Two Saints

The financial sector is well known for using confusing jargon and acronyms, the team at Bull by the Horns taught us to write more clearly. Marie made us think very carefully about the way we present ourselves, and the impact that has for our brand and our clients. She made us realise that we could be so much more. Her insight, her knowledge and her approach was a breath of fresh air.

- Ceri Bissell, managing director, CSB Financial

Working with Debbie

Debbie has helped us tremendously to heighten the profile of NOCN as a company. She is great at PR, media and marketing. They only let you pick three out of the three top attributes, but I could have easily picked all 7. Highly recommended.

- Graham Hasting-Evans, Managing Director at NOCN

Debbie is an ultimate professional; great communicator, writer and editor and has exceeded my expectations in gaining media attention and coverage.

- Kathy Robinson, founder and CEO at Signs for Success

Energetic, creative and organised - these are three words that spring to mind when thinking of Debbie. Not just an ideas person but a real doer and a fabulous people person. She has strong communication skills and is able to find the correct 'voice' with which to present any message.  Debbie is confident, has a great sense of humour and talented. I have no hesitation in recommending her.

- Ruth Sparkes, managing director EMPRA (an education specialist)
