Testimonials

Here are a few testimonials I have received when working with several media companies and organisations:

Stuart Ebdon - Business Development Manager, CyberQ Group

"Great working with Umar to develop creative pieces. We had a piece of work that needed doing quickly. Umar rose to the challenge and delivered just what we required."

Alex Selby-Boothroyd - Head of Data Journalism, The Economist

"Umar was a real pleasure to work with during his placement at The Economist. His enthusiasm, work ethic and tenacity shone through and he would be a valuable asset to any company looking to improve their data storytelling skills."

Jem Collins, Founder and Editor, Journo Resources

"Umar worked with us on a contract basis at Journo Resources for our Day in the Life series, writing a series of engaging interview pieces for our website. It is always a pleasure to work with Umar — he comes with great ideas, is self-organised, and is able to deliver top-quality work. Without fail, he always delivers work on time and to a high standard.

"While working with us, he was able to conduct interviews and build rapport with big names such as Jim Rosenthal and Louise Goodman with ease. He always thinks of every aspect of a story — as well as writing clean and engaging copy, he also provides high-quality pictures and is a dream to work with."
