An itinerant history
Savage Words opened for business in London in 2003. Shortly after, the company was relocated to Windhoek, Namibia, where Savage Words’ clients included the Department for International Development (DFID, now FCDO), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Namibian Government. In 2005, we returned to south-east London, working with a variety of international and London-based clients in the charity and NGO sector. Between 2011 and 2013, Savage Words was based in Maputo, Mozambique. We have been back in London since 2013.
