Across most organisations, writing is the main way people communicate. But most employees were never trained to write clearly in a professional context.
The result?
unclear emails that create confusion
reports that bury the key message
long documents that nobody reads
miscommunication between teams
unnecessary back-and-forth
time - and money - lost.
When business writing goes wrong, it impacts everyone: teams, clients, stakeholders and customers. Being able to write clearly and persuasively is often what separates the businesses that succeed, from the ones that don’t.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. The good news is that better business writing is a skill - and it can be learned.
The Cost of Poor Business Writing
After our business writing training, your team will be able to:
Communicate complex ideas clearly and concisely
Write emails, reports and proposals that people understand - and act on
Structure writing so the key message is obvious
Write with confidence and authority
Adapt writing for different audiences
Avoid the common mistakes that weaken business writing
Know how to edit and review other people’s writing
Write in a consistent way that expresses your organisation’s values and personality in words.
What Will You Take Away From My Business Writing Training?
How It Works
I spend time getting my training right for every team in every organisation and can offer options to suit your budget. Training can include email writing, report writing, briefing notes, and internal communication depending on your team’s needs. Choose from:
Workshops from an hour-long ‘Lunch and Learn’ to a full day.
Tailored sessions: zoom in on areas like emails or reports.
Training delivered virtually, or in person, anywhere in the UK.
Follow up coaching for individuals or small groups
My workshops are practical and interactive, with activities to get involved in right from the start (no death by PowerPoint!).
So your team won’t just understand the ideas; they’ll know how to go and use them, straight away.

About Your Trainer
Hi, I’m Nikki Allen. I’m a former journalist, communications trainer, published author and qualified therapist.
For more than 15 years I’ve worked with organisations to help their people communicate clearly and effectively, including as Head of Training at global language consultancy The Writer, where I led and designed corporate training programmes for some of the biggest businesses in the world.
Alongside my training work, I’m also a published author with Pan Macmillan, writing thrillers (including Apple Books bestseller The Hideaway) for one of the world’s biggest publishing houses. My writing on communication and boundaries has also been featured in The Guardian and Radio New Zealand. I’ve now trained 20,000+ professionals worldwide in groups of two to 200 with consistent 5* feedback.
What makes my communications and business writing training different?
Most training focuses only on ‘techniques’. My approach uses:
Psychology – understanding how people respond to language
Professional and creative writing expertise – how words actually persuade
Corporate training experience – what works in real organisations
This combination means I approach communication and writing training differently: not just focusing on techniques, but on real-world, practical results and ways to build trust, strengthen relationships and create impact.
Your Questions, Answered
-
Leaders, managers and teams who want to learn how to write clearly, effectively and with confidence.
-
Yes. I can customise every workshop to your organisation’s needs, ideally using examples of your writing. And we can focus either more broadly on communications skills, or zoom. inon specific areas like writing or presenting. But if you’d like to discuss a lower cost, non-tailored option, we can do that too.
-
Yes, very. I believe people learn best by doing, and trying things out. Participants practise these skills in a supportive environment, and they’ll have an interactive toolkit to take away afterwards.
-
Yes. Both virtual and in-person sessions are available.
-
For an in-person workshop, I can run the session for anything up to 12 people. Online, we can go up to 25.
-
My rates start from £695.00 for a 60-minute virtual workshop. A full-day, bespoke session run for a team of up to 12 people is £2,295.00, including an upfront consultation and all takeway/supporting materials.

It depends on my availability, but I can usually fit a new project in within 2-4 weeks, sometimes sooner. Just get in touch and I’ll let you know!
