Richard has a varied background across several disciplines. From dabbling with scriptwriting in 2006 and a commission for BBC Radio 4 and Radio Ulster, he moved into magazine journalism. In 2008 he took over editorial control of Eat Drink Read, the official publication of the Coffee Yard & Yard Gallery in Holywood, Co Down, until 2009.

He then spent a spell working for Henley Media in London, writing for SportsPro magazine and landing a dream commission to write the majority of the 2010 Formula One Black Book.

He has also undertaken copywriting work for an award-winning London estate agency, and is the head of SEO for a prominent national legal services firm. He is able to adapt his style as the medium requires and is comfortable working in any area.

Richard has just finished a Masters degree in Creative & Professional Writing at Brunel University in London and also runs his own Formula One blog.
