About the presenters
Stuart Delves
I have worked as a copywriter for over 25 years, firstly in advertising and since 1995 in the design and communication industry in Edinburgh. In 2002 I started to share my knowledge and experience by providing training and in 2004 set up Dark Angels with John Simmons and Jamie Jauncey. Trading as Henzteeth and Dark Angels I have run numerous in-house workshops (writing and presentation) and over 40 residential courses. The objective of all the training is to make communication effective, engaging and memorable. Clients include: National Museums Scotland, University of Edinburgh Business School, Arts Council Wales, National Library of Wales, British Council, Arts & Business Scotland, Royal Society of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow, University of York, Kings College London, Penguin Books and National Library of Scotland.
