Tone of Voice Development in Glasgow
Defining how a Glasgow organisation writes, in terms somebody can apply at four o'clock on a busy afternoon. Three adjectives on a page — friendly, confident, human — give a writer nothing to act on, whereas a before-and-after pair and a list of words you do not use settles most decisions immediately.
Why this comes up
The problem
The guidelines say the voice is approachable yet authoritative, and everybody writes exactly as they did before.
What you get
What we deliver
- Rules expressed as decisions rather than as adjectives
- Before and after examples drawn from your own material, not invented ones
- A list of words and constructions to avoid, which is the most-used part
- Guidance for the awkward moments — apologies, refusals, chasing money, bad news
- The unglamorous surfaces covered: error messages, forms, invoices, automated email
- A short reference people will actually consult, with the detail behind it

Working in Glasgow
Scotland
Glasgow's engineering and renewables base gives it an industrial character quite unlike Edinburgh's, and Scottish clients should note that contracts here fall under Scots law, which we account for in engagement terms.

Tone of Voice Development in Glasgow — common questions
- Why are adjectives not enough?
- Because two people apply them differently. Friendly produces exclamation marks from one writer and contractions from another, so the useful artefact shows the same sentence written badly and well — which resolves the question without requiring interpretation.
- What should the avoid list contain?
- The specific words your organisation overuses. Leverage, solutions, seamless, passionate and delighted appear on most of these lists for good reason, and adding your own sector's filler makes it genuinely useful rather than generic.
- Why cover error messages and invoices?
- Because they are read more carefully than the marketing. A customer reading a payment failure notice or a chasing letter is paying full attention, and those moments are where a stated voice either holds up or reveals itself as something applied only to the homepage.
- How do you handle difficult messages?
- By writing the pattern in advance. Apologies, refusals and price increases are where organisations retreat into passive, evasive language, and having an agreed approach — direct, specific, no hiding behind process — is worth more than any amount of guidance about warmth.
- Do you work with businesses across Glasgow City?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Glasgow and the surrounding Glasgow City area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Glasgow businesses do you usually work with?
- Engineering and renewables clients dominate, with a recurring need for monitoring and reporting across distributed sites. Beyond that we work across Engineering, Financial Services, Life Sciences, Creative Industries and Renewables.
- Do you cover the areas around Glasgow?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh. Glasgow is an urban area of roughly 1,000,000+, and we take on work across the wider Glasgow City region rather than the city boundary alone.
