Why the Copywriter seat is worth holding
Every FindaBiz group keeps one seat per trade. Hold the Copywriter seat and you’re the only Copywriter in the room. When another member hears that a client needs a website rewritten, a brochure drafted or a tender tidied up, there’s one name to pass on, and it’s yours.
The Copywriter seat at FindaBiz Lutterworth is already taken. It’s open in seven other groups, from FindaBiz Hinckley and FindaBiz Nuneaton to FindaBiz Sutton Coldfield. The full list is further down, along with the Copywriter members already in the network. If you’re looking for a copywriter you can trust, those members are a sensible place to start.

Who passes work to a Copywriter
Web Designer and Website Design members are often the first to send work your way. A new site can sit unfinished for weeks while the client struggles to write the pages, and a designer who can hand that job to a copywriter gets the project live sooner. Marketing members have the same problem with campaigns, emails and social posts. Print & Promotional Goods members regularly meet customers who have ordered leaflets or banners and have no idea what to put on them.
Accountants and Bookkeepers see businesses right at the start, when they need a website, a price list and a short description of what they do. Human Resources and Business Change members work with firms that need job adverts, staff handbooks and announcements people will actually read. Training & Events members need course descriptions and invitations. Financial Advisers, Mortgage Advisers and Conveyancing Solicitors have to write to clients about complicated subjects, and plain English helps.
Why one Copywriter per group matters
Most people choose a copywriter on trust. They want someone who will listen, understand their business, write in a voice that sounds like them and deliver on time. A recommendation from their accountant or web designer counts for more than a search result, and in a FindaBiz group that recommendation can only point to one Copywriter.
Members also meet one to one between meetings. That’s when the Marketing or Web Designer member in your group sees how you work, reads examples of your copy and learns which clients suit you best. They can then introduce you with confidence, and you can do the same for them when your own clients need a new website or a stand at an event.
