What People Say About Me

Quote from Press Gazette Awards:
‘Faith Eckersall’s column matches or beats national columnists writing in a similar style. Judges thought she was ‘sharp, witty and observant’ and one said he would make a beeline for her column if he lived in Bournemouth’

‘Everyone thinks he or she can write this type of column but few can’

 Jake Sugden Photography:

‘Faith worked with me on one of the most prestigious projects I have undertaken to date. Over a period of five years she immersed herself in the project producing an evocative narrative that complemented my style and imagery seamlessly. She is highly professional, tenacious and a pleasure to work with’

Quote from judges of EDF Energy London and South of England Media Awards:

‘The judges found themselves either strongly agreeing or disagreeing with her views – clearly a good thing’

Ian Murray, former editor in chief, Southern Daily Echo – current Deputy Executive Director, Society of Editors:

‘I have known Faith as a work colleague and friend for over two decades.

‘The consummate professional’s consummate professional, her wit and insight makes her an incredible writer and wonderful colleague’

Anthony Climpson, Chief Executive, Go New Forest:

‘Faith is a very evocative copywriter; her ability to bring out the depth of a subject is exemplary. I’d have absolutely no qualms about recommending her skills to anyone to write about any subject. Certainly the New Forest is a pretty easy place to tell stories about, but it takes real skill to keep on keeping it fresh, on message and most of all, captivating’
