Testimonials

EDS

"Can I take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work over the past few weeks, it has certainly been a tough time. Today is the official deadline for the Priority one applications to go on the catalogue, and we have managed to get around 24 of the 32 on there. I suspect the "eyes" will still be on us for sometime but I know it could not have been possible without you. We may not have achieved them all but it is better than we could possibly have hoped for. We have received many thanks from SM management, portfolio and higher up the chain; people are taking notice of what we have achieved"

RS Components

“This project demanded partners that were technically experienced and flexible in their approach.  AST delivered this service and proved crucial to the technical process design as well as the efficient creation of technically challenging catalogue pages.  AST were able to adjust to the demands of the RS production schedule and always delivered to promise when it mattered, whilst upholding an excellent quality of delivered content”

Received from Beryl Reilly - RS Components Catalogue Production Manager, after completion of 6 month project to re-design & re-write entire RS catalogue set on paper, CD and web.

MOD project

"I would, therefore like to take this opportunity of thanking you and all your staff who have been involved in the various work packages for their considerable efforts in bringing the overall project to a successful conclusion. Please pass on my thanks to your staff; I will not mention anybody specifically as all have played a part. Generally we seem to have been able to work together and it has shown that there is scope for future joint participation in major projects"

Comments on the quality of our candidates

"I have been managing a group of Technical Authors since April 1994. During this time Author Services Technical have supplied us with contract Technical Authors and have assisted us when recruiting permanent staff. I have always found their approach to be professional and have had a good working relationship with those people who I have had contact with. They have always had a good selection of people for both the contract and permanent positions. Most important, however, is that the applicants have been appropriate for the vacancies. I believe this is due to the efforts they make on the initial and subsequent contact to ascertain our requirements. In short, they do not waste my time and, therefore, provide an excellent service"

Received following another successful contract placement.
