Testimonials

Tim Chapman – Deputy CEO, Surbana Jurong

“In 2016 Michael worked with our engineers in Canberra on the Light Rail Project, (Canberra Metro), providing editorial services, copy editing and writing guidance for the technical reports we produced for the project’s main contractor John Holland. His input helped us achieve significant improvements and greater consistency with our reports for this major infrastructure project.”

Mike developed a customised training course for our staff entitled WriteLab – exploring how to write more effectively in an engineering context. The course was well-received, and the feedback on Mike’s knowledge and ability as a trainer was extremely positive. I’ve no hesitation in recommending Mike as a technical writer, copy editor and training consultant.”
