She had contracts to produce customer announcements with London Underground from 1999 to 2007. In 2007, she achieved widespread public attention when, as a result of adding spoof announcements – cleared by London Underground – to her website, she attracted the attention of a Mail on Sunday newspaper reporter who interviewed her and published an article which denigrated her employer. As a result of this, London Underground announced that her contract would not be renewed.[1] [2][3]
Her other clients include the BBC, Gillette, Virgin, Classic FM, Homebase and "3" mobile phones.[4][3] Along with her solo work, she works through, and is the managing director of, Just Add Voice, a company which provides voice-over tracks.[4]
