Testimonials
I would definitely work with Kim again. have 100% faith that she will get the job done professionally and on time.
John Beckley
DIrector, Canary PR

Isabel Dias
Movvo, Portugal
Kim is a very pleasant person to deal with. She is an outstanding professional, with an eye for detail. Fluid communication, punctual, not shying away from asking questions if source text is not clear
Martijn Naarding
Babel Translations
Right from the outset Kim was extremely efficient in helping me wade through what seemed like a minefield of Terms and Conditions. My company ones needed rewriting and updating but I kept putting it off as it seemed such an insurmountable task. In addition, I wanted something a little less formal than the traditional and Kim was the only person who really understood where I was coming from. She is not only efficient and helpful, but friendly and approachable too and I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Kim helped us with the communication and organization of the inauguration of our first Bikecenter in Lanzarote. As we did not have either enough manpower or expertise at that moment in the market of Lanzarote, we were really happy to have someone on our side with a wide network of contacts on and outside the island as well as a lot of experience within the communication area. It was a pleasure to work with Kim, she was professional and at the same time very amicable to work with. I hope we can work together again soon.
