A former journalist and business owner Natalie is confident communicator with a natural ability to build strong relationships with clients.

Natalie's B2B PR expertise was forged working with a rich mixture of start-up and fast growth technology businesses ranging across professional service SaaS, fintech and service design amongst others.

After graduating with a BA (Hons) in Journalism, Natalie moved to Norfolk starting her career working as a researcher for Anglia Television before writing for an Archant produced regional boating magazine.

Following a full renovation of the derelict grade II listed building, Natalie created an award-winning establishment with a solid reputation for good food and service, hosting weddings and other events including a prestigious annual sailing event.

Two children later, Natalie returned to her media roots working for a tech B2B PR agency specialising in building brand awareness for start-ups and scale-ups in the UK and Europe before joining Simpatico PR in 2022.
