Calling all budding copywriters!

One of our previous committee members is looking for someone to help with writing some adverts and legal copy for the company she works for (a group of pubs around Bath, including The Griffin Inn and Inn at Freshford). You will need to be available to start as soon as possible, for part-time hours over a couple of months - and it is PAID. There is potential to work remotely, but you must be able to meet face-to-face initially.

If you're at all interested then please send us a private message/email and we will give you the contact number.
