King organiser
Jan left the land of milk and potatoes – Jersey, in case you were wondering – to pursue a life in biochemistry and biotechnology. In fact, a career in science communications wasn’t at all what he was aiming for when he completed a master’s degree in biochemistry at the University of Bath. After a few years spent in a research lab, Jan realised that while his passion for science prevailed, he really didn’t enjoy failed experiments. So, he turned to copywriting, which is essentially a highlights reel for science – only the successful experiments and innovations are shouted about.
Jan’s innate ability to quickly grasp new subject matter, understand the key benefits of products, translate complex concepts into text that anyone could understand, and tailor client messages to suit different communication channels and audiences is what makes him an excellent writer. His role at kdm communications is Editor in Chief, and the entire writing team values his incredible ability to organise and assemble their work into clear and succinct material.
He has an (un)healthy obsession with taking things apart to find out how they work, and is equally at home talking to our clients about automotive design or educational toys as he is about molecular biology or clinical diagnostics. Jan’s interest in horsepower – in the context of both engines and equines – means that he also spends far more time outdoors than is advisable in the British climate.
