“Your editing was marvellously useful, and I’m very grateful for it. I took on all but one or two minor changes, and felt the writing had benefited greatly. …you have been very generous with your time and skills.”

Dr. E. Kapp, Cardiff

Clients: Who’s Who and What’s What.

The word “clients” has a chilly ring. It suggests a formal, arms-length relationship between the writer and commissioner. Reality feels very different.

Our aim, after all, is to be one team with a single, shared set of communication objectives. So it helps tremendously to be at ease with one another, and talk frankly about all the issues. Jargon and egos are best left outside the room.

Out of mutual respect and honesty, friendship often emerges. So the company names on the following list are just the superficial wrapping; inside each of them are individuals we at Verbatim think of as good and valued colleagues.
