Feedback 

I wanted to thank you specially for all the energy you put in all the projects I have entrusted you with. I was very happy to work with you, it has always been smooth, excellent work with always pleasant communication! Thanks for this great collaboration (PM, French translation agency, December 2019) 

I’m a proofreader at XXX and I just wanted to drop you a line to say that the client was very happy with the translation, which is saying something since he is quite picky and complains often. (Proofreader, French translation agency, February 2017)

I, the undersigned, certify that we have worked regularly with Mr. John Simpson on translations in various technical fields, including the nuclear industry, since November 2005.
His work is of consistently high quality and delivered on time.
