My Approach
A practical approach to digital marketing
I established BHP Digital in 2019, after 16 years working for a north-west based engineering company where I oversaw the marketing and IT departments. In this time the company grew from a small regional firm to a global leader in its field. In my spare time I get into the outdoors as much as I can with my family and friends, whether that's cycling, hiking or running. I'm passionate about photography, video and music production and I enjoy putting these skills to use in my digital marketing work whenever I can.
Hands-on experience
Over 20 years working across marketing, websites, technology and content - both in-house and independently.
Straightforward support
Practical advice, clear communication and solutions that make sense for your business - without unnecessary complexity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Some common questions about my approach, experience and the way I work with clients.
Before establishing BHP Digital in 2019, I spent 16 years working in-house for an engineering company, overseeing marketing and IT as the business grew from a small regional company into an international leader in it’s field. That experience still shapes the practical, commercially focused way I work today.
Yes. You’ll work directly with me throughout the project. I handle the planning, communication and delivery myself, so there’s no account manager or handover between different departments.
You get direct access to the person actually doing the work. That usually means quicker communication, fewer layers, lower overheads and a more flexible approach, while still drawing on broad experience across marketing, websites, technology and content.
I work mainly with established small and medium-sized businesses, particularly companies that need ongoing digital support rather than just a one-off website. I’ve worked extensively with engineering, manufacturing, leisure, e-commerce and service-based businesses.
I’m always looking at new tools and technologies, including AI, where they can genuinely improve efficiency, creativity or results. I don’t use technology for the sake of it – the focus is always on choosing the simplest and most useful solution for the business.
