About us

Based in the heart of Covent Garden, ampers& (aka, Google searches would suggest, 'ampersand') is a company of copywriters.

Since 1987, we've worked on over 2000 projects for over 300 clients - everything from brochures to websites, from ads to fliers, from case studies to presentations. We write for plcs in every sector from telecoms to energy to finance; for professional services firms such as lawyers, management consultants and accountants; for public sector organisations large and small; and for designers and brand consultants, dovetailing with and strengthening their offering to their clients.

Every project we've worked on has reflected our belief in the power of clear thinking expressed clearly. And every one has been delivered on time and on budget.

We believe good copywriting can do great things for your business. Nothing can do more to tell people what makes you different, what makes you better, what makes you you. Good copywriting demands a combination of breadth of vision and attention to detail. It means listening carefully before you begin to speak, and making sure you're absolutely clear: what's to be said, to whom, why, and - crucially - how. "Language most shows a man: speak that I may see thee" - Ben Jonson.

We don't use freelance copywriters. We've tried but it hasn't worked out. Quality control. Call ampers& and you get the services of Alan Paterson, Nick Hanson, or, where scale and deadlines demand it, both. That's over 40 years' professional copywriting experience available for you to tap into.

Our fees are competitive, our experience unusually broad, and our work, we believe, speaks for itself. This site can offer no more than a taster. But we hope it whets your appetite. If you like what you see and you need a copywriter, give us a call and we'll take it from there.
