Andrea Dickens
Law firm project manager, A J Park
Andrea played a key role in establishing A J Park’s plain English culture. Andrea led the firm’s plain English journey, which started in 2005, when she was Marketing Manager with the firm.
A J Park was awarded best plain English organisation in 2006. In 2008, A J Park’s client charter was a finalist in the WriteMark award category for best plain English private sector document, and in 2009 the charter achieved the internationally-recognised Crystal Mark.
Andrea currently manages a number of strategic business projects that allow her to ‘spread the word’ of plain English throughout all areas of the business. Andrea applies plain English principles to all projects, whether these involve internal communications, drafting precedent documents, reports for the partnership or tender responses. She also leads A J Park’s plain English training programme for new executives.
Andrea has a strong background in professional services marketing, and believes plain English is the best way to deliver client-focused communications.
