“ Sarah has extensive business experience, which was much appreciated, particularly when learning to handle meetings and corporate communications. It was a great course and I have recommended her to my colleagues in the international department. "

“ A great mentor who really catered to my needs. Perfect.”

“ Working with Sarah was a wonderful experience and thanks to her, I achieved my objectives.  

She’s highly professional, caring, pays attention to detail and caters to your needs.  A great mentor.  Thanks again Sarah.  I thoroughly recommend you! "

“ Doing business with Sarah Symon is a real pleasure! She’s an experienced professional who has always understood our needs. She’s very efficient and delivers top quality work. And on top of that, she’s a delightful person. It’s been a pleasure working with her over the past four years…

As the Secretary of the International Gas Union, in charge of organising events for over 1000 experts from 133 countries, I commissioned Sarah to:

- produce written minutes of the IGU’s Council & Executive Meetings from audio recordings of proceedings, twice a year;

- subtitle video interviews in English and French. This involved summarising discussions to convey clear and simple messages without losing any meaning or wider sense;

- record a voice over in English for a short film we produced on the activities and achievements of the French presidency of the IGU from 2012 to 2015.

Not only did she deliver high quality work but more importantly, she never missed a deadline, working evenings or weekends if necessary to meet our needs. ”

“ I’ve worked with Sarah Symon many times in my capacity as Communications Director for the GDF SUEZ IS Division and international project oversight manager for EDF. Sarah Symon has proved to be a valuable asset on each of the international communication projects on which we have worked together.

In addition to her undeniable translation skills (French to English) and thorough understanding of IT issues, she also has an in-depth knowledge of business environments, inter-cultural relations and communications. She has also worked as a language coach on many occasions, helping senior managers from both of the firms listed above, to deliver presentations in English on the Group’s strategy and future vision before international audiences. ”

“ I’ve never had cause to regret meeting and working with Synonyms! The quality of their work is fantastic, deadlines are always met and there’s always a real understanding of what we need and what’s important. ”

“ We’ve used Synonyms for corporate translations for years. With a background in PR, Sarah Symon knows the language and the issues, and she also understands just how important deadlines are. That’s the secret of a flawless partnership. ”

“ As a Public Affairs consultancy, we often need documents translated quickly about what’s being said and done in the fields in which we work. That’s why we value the quick turnaround we get from Synonyms. ”

“ We used Sarah on a product development project which included complicated technical aspects. She translated documents for us and also most importantly interpreted at a business meeting. Her presence and intuitive understanding of the issues involved was an added benefit. I have been very impressed by her ability and professionalism. ”
