About Us
The company was set up by Simon Flory - a Technical Author/Technical Writer with more than
30 years documentation
experience. Simon is the Managing Director of Red House Consultancy
Services Ltd.
After University (Honours Degree in
Theoretical Physics in 1985), Simon worked as a Researcher, working for
a small Research Consultancy at the main UK Patents Library in London.
He then trained as a Technical Author at GEC's high-technology Hirst
Research Centre in Wembley. Whilst there he specialised in high-voltage and
high-current switchgear and cabling, telecommunications cabling and
connectors (copper core and optical fibre), domestic appliances and
various military/defence applications. After GEC, Simon worked for a small firm
of Patent Agents (Halifax, West Yorkshire), writing
about a wide range of technologies (mainly mechanical and electrical
engineering, but with some useful commercial experience).
For next eight years, he was Group
Technical Author to Tunstall Group plc – a British company with
subsidiaries in a dozen countries. The Tunstall work demanded complete
familiarity with computer hardware and software systems, as well as the
related disciplines of documentation management, design and print. The
documentation he produced ranged from small user manuals through to
huge system reference manuals for telephone systems, telecoms and
software systems. These manuals were written in UK English, but were
also published in other languages such as American English, French,
Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Norwegian.
After Tunstall, he started
Red House Consultancy Services –
working for Tunstall and a wide variety of other
Clients. As well as major plc
business and government departments, our clients also include many
smaller companies.
Over the years, Simon has often worked
to a written brief, preparing manuals to meet a specification, house
style or cost/time-scale. He has also worked in situations where no
formal brief was given, and he had a free hand to provide whatever
documentation was needed.
