good company

Our clients

These are some of the clients I've served since 1986. The assignments have varied from a few hours of editing to a few days of training sessions or editing a web site to six months or longer developing software manuals.

I've kept some good company – leaders in New Zealand commerce.

Here are my most significant clients, most recent first, very roughly.
