To my clients: thank you.

At this time of year, I always reflect on how grateful I am to still be doing what I do.

Normally, it's a self reflection, but this year I wanted to share my gratitude.

Every December, I feel thankful to have another 12 months under my belt, providing freelance copywriter and PR consultancy services under Schofield Communications.

It's been more than 11 years now but I have never taken this for granted and try to avoid ever feeling complacent. I work as hard now as I did when I started.

Several clients have stayed with me throughout that entire period and over the last few years others have come on board - while many have naturally come and gone.

To all my clients, past and present, I want to say thank you for trusting me with your businesses and for seeing and appreciating the value in my work.

Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year.

-Sam Schofield.
