Hello, I’m Patrick, an English copywriter

I live in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Hi, I’m an English copywriter in the Netherlands.

If you’re looking for professional English copy – probably in a bit of a rush – you’ve come to the right place. As a British copywriter who’s worked in the Netherlands since 1990, I’m here for you.

With over 35 years’ experience of crafting copy for clients ranging from marketing giants like Philips and Rolls Royce to ambitious up and coming SMEs, I deliver clear, compelling English that works.

B2B campaigns, online/offline content, creative concepts, AI assisted writing or even Dutch-to-English transcreation and a whole lot more… how can I help?

Quick, efficient, cost-effective: based in Rotterdam, ready to work anywhere and everywhere.
