My Story

Claire Davies Greedy Wordsmith Food Writer Bag
Claire Davies Consulting Narrative Strategy

I provide copywriting services, consultancy and training to organisations across the north of England. We explore the stories that give a brand meaning. From uniting team members towards a common goal - to crafting a strong message that attracts a loyal customer base - I love seeing organisations thrive as a result of our work together.

My previous role as an Occupational Therapist gives me a unique perspective of individual psychology – how emotion, language and experience shape our thinking and behaviour. This knowledge has proved invaluable over my freelance career, enabling me to find and articulate a carefully crafted message that suits both my clients and their audience.

Alongside my commercial work with business owners, I am a published food writer and a passionate foodie. Just like the stories we tell, food plays a crucial part in drawing people together and cementing meaningful relationships.

In essence, it all comes to down to a love of people – the businesses we run, the communities we create and the food we share. The blog is where I choose to nurture my regular writing habit - sharing useful business content, food and drink recipes and anything else that feels important along the way.

What My Clients Say

  • Sarah Cooper

    "Claire Davies was the guest speaker at a meeting I attended, in the short space of time we had together I learned so much about improving the way we communicate with our potential client base and about writing business copy in general. Her friendly yet professional manner underlined her passion for writing and I felt instantly at ease. I look forward to attending some of the writing workshops that Claire is running in the future."

    Ann AllanMiddlethorpe Interiors

    "We like to work with 'nice people' at Middlethorpe Interiors so it was a pleasure to work with Claire. Always curious and respectful Claire took her time to understand our business values and how we work. She earned our trust very quickly as she was not only recommended to us but she proved herself with the copy, she completely understood who our clients are, what we are trying to achieve and who we are at our core. We will continue to work with Claire and would be delighted to recommend her services." -

  • Stephen CreeOrange Crush Digital

Claire can work as part of a team or independently and this adaptability is really useful to us. Her copywriting is of a consistently high standard and deadlines are never missed! The best thing about Claire is that she's a really good person and a joy to work with. We like Claire! Highly recommended!"

  • World Suicide Prevention Day – A personal story
    I woke up with a banging headache that morning. My head hurt but my mind was calm. As I looked around the messy bedroom littered with old joints, underwear and cigarette papers I suddenly understood what had to happen. I had to die. This might sound like the first chapter of a depressing new novel (it'll probably win a Booker or something, the really depressing ones always win awards) but it actually describes the opening scenes to the morning my seventeen year old self decided to take her life.

  • Shedding skins – Coming back to myself as a writer
    Mr D and I just got back from a week in Portugal. Our first trip out of the country in fifteen years this was a beach, sun and food kinda week. It's been so long because our mental fitness - and as a result, financial fitness - just wasn't strong enough before now. Our first trip abroad since my heart transplant ten years ago, last week acted as a litmus test for more demanding holiday plans in the future.

  • Historic Recipes for the Modern Kitchen – Noah’s Pudding

    Asure

    (Ash - oo - ray)

    There are times when a new recipe develops through hours of research. Others flash into life from a simple word, smell or taste whilst I’m thinking of something completely unrelated. Then, like this one, inspiration visits me via someone else. Noah’s Pudding appeared in a novel my husband was reading, the main character prepared and served the dessert for dinner guests. The description included grains, pulses and dried fruits combined in a sweet, porridge-like consistency. John thought it sounded tasty and the name itself had me hooked.
