Cathy Howells, Principal of WordsWork

After completing an Open University degree that combined Literature, Philosophy and History in the early nineties, Cathy spent five years marketing world-class brands and working in communications roles for the world’s largest alcoholic drinks company. 

In 2000 she set up WordsWork, her freelance copywriting business, which specialises in non-advertising copy.  She finds the different challenges each project brings highly motivating and is fascinated by the diverse worlds her work brings her into contact with.

Words are the love of her life; reading them and writing them.  In addition to copywriting, she is writing a novel.  For a break from the keyboard Cathy enjoys running, live music, socialising and sampling good food and great wine.
