Here's a testimonial from my former employer, who got me out of IT and into this line of work :

Professor C. Vyvyan Howard. MB. ChB. PhD. FRCPath, Professor of Bioimaging, Centre for Molecular Biosciences, University of Ulster :

“Viv Mountford worked for me for 8 years until my move to Ulster, including 4 years as my office manager. I came to rely on her in many ways. She is really expert and, perhaps more importantly, 'persistent', in performing internet searches on given research topics. I would give her a tutorial on the subject matter and we would discuss key words. Then she would get to work and would normally manage to get deeply into a subject quite quickly, despite its complexity.

“Viv's other area of expertise is her English language skills. She is an excellent proof reader. Viv also has a gift for paraphrasing and simplifying texts to make them more approachable by a general audience. In addition, she has proved herself to be an able writer, producing a chapter in a book on the health effects associated with transport.”
