Dr Jim Weale – Co-Director and Principal Consultant

Jim co-founded Scriptoria based on a passion for communications and a commitment to development and the environment worldwide. Since then, he’s worked hard to build a company that combines unusually high levels of expertise in development issues with a passion for producing communications that have a definite and sustained impact. He’s now recognised as one of the leaders in this field.
In his day-to-day work for Scriptoria, Jim has designed communications strategies for multi-million dollar poverty reduction programmes targeting Asia and Africa, trained corporate and government communications teams, and advised the UK government on building the profile of its aid efforts. The writing and communications courses he has designed for Scriptoria have also been very well received around the world.
Jim’s PhD is in English and Linguistics.
