Pauline typed up my handwritten manuscript for a book I plan to self publish. She did such a good job with the typing, and setting out according to the publishing guidelines. She responded promptly to my many and varied requests. And the final document is amazing. I highly recommend Apricot Business Services.

Apricot Business Services typed the major part of the manuscript for my book SECRET NEWPORT to enable me to meet the publisher's deadlines. They were methodical and efficient with the work completed to an agreed schedule and to a high standard. I can readily recommended them to aspiring authors.

Pauline impresses with her intelligent response to your requests. She completely "got" what I wanted from a fairly messy manuscript and enabled me to get my own act together. She is reliable and approachable and she delivers on time at great value. Andrew Sargent.

Pauline has provided a high quality secretarial support for me for 20 years. She is extremely reliable and totally dependable in all she does. She is able to provide a fast and accurate typing service which I have found a significant benefit to my ability to deal with large quantities of text.

I had a memoir manuscript transcribed through Apricot Business Services. Pauline was very prompt, friendly and courteous, and I couldn't have hoped for a better job with my manuscript transcription. I'd recommend Apricot to anyone looking for an efficient and professional transcription of their work, at a very reasonable rate.

Apricot offers a very reliable service, with excellent ability on Pauline's part to interpret what I have said on the tape, which I am sure must be difficult at times. Ocaisionally, I would like to see a quicker turn round time, but I do appreciate that I am not the only client. A request for priority for a report is always met. Overall a very good organisation to deal with and Pauline is always so pleasant and professional.

Brilliant service from start.

I would like to say how pleased and grateful I was to find Apricot Business Services. I was in my final year of my degree and had a lot of work to do with very tight deadlines, and needed to have my work prof read, grammar and spelling. Pauline always turned my work around very quickly and to a high standard. I would not hesitate to recommend her services in the future and I will certainly continue to use her when required.

I have graded Pauline Beckington of Apricot Business Services as Exceptional in all three categories. I have used Pauline as a typist since the mid-nineties. In the beginning she carried out audio typing for me, working with (very often difficult and complex) translations that I was rendering into English, with lots of foreign names to cope with. She carried out these difficult tasks flawlessly, always on time, often ahead of time, and at a very reasonable cost. From about 2002 onwards her work for me changed to handling a considerable amount of my correspondence with readers (I am an author). Again, she provided an absolutely impeccable service for me. She was and is extremely pleasant to work with and I have never had the slightest cause for complaint. I will not hesitate to continue to use her for any typing work I may require in the future and I recommend her wholeheartedly to others requiring an outstanding and professional level of service.

I had a number of transcripts typed by Apricot, from audio tape, for my Master's dissertation. From my initial dealings, with Pauline, until the end of the project, I was extremely impressed with the whole process. Initial communications were excellent and the service was quick, accurate and good value for money. I would definitely recommend Apricot and look forward to working together in the future.

We are a firm of chartered surveyors and have been using Apricot for our typing for over a year. Really great and efficient service. Has made a real difference to the way that we work as a company and is a business relationship that we intend to continue to use. Highly recommended.

With some urgent transcription of interview tapes to be done for a major client I turned to Pauline at Apricot and she was able to get the work done quickly and accurately and was a great help. I have no hesitation in recommending Apricot Business Services and will be using them again.

Apricot completed some transcribing of interviews that my daughter was struggling to get done as part of her post graduate studies. The service was very helpful and was good value. The cost was well worth the reduction in stress!

Apricot Business Services caried out verbatim transcription work for me for research purposes. The work was accurate, turn around was quick, and the charge for the work was fair. I was impressed by the careful way the requirements for the work were discussed, establishing an understanding that ensured that the work was completed as required and which would have made it easy to negotiate any difficulty should it have arisen.
