About you

The people and organisations we work with include:

Software, medical equipment, IT and other technology companies that are developing new products. They need technical, user, compliance or training documentation.

Managers responsible for policies, procedures, and other compliance documents. They need clear and simple instructions and advice that works.

HR Professionals who need to recruit a technical communicator. The job titles can be Technical Author, Technical Writer, and Documentation Manager.

Professional technical communicators. They want to improve their skills, or they need a technical communicator to work with them.

People starting their careers as a technical communicator. They want to improve their skills.

Developers wanting to improve their writing skills. If they don’t know how to write well, the final product can suffer.

I’m very pleased with the enhancements to the Help System. You created very clear topics for some areas that I find difficult to explain. You also identified a number of ‘bugs’ with the current version that have now been fixed. This just continues to improve the product.
Bruce McNaughton, CEO, ProcessAssets CEO Technical writing services

As an IT team, we had an array of support documentation for systems and services that we'd always struggled to have a consistent format, style and structure for. The course delivered by Ellis Pratt really clarified the best practices to use and answered many of the questions we had.
We were so satisfied with the service provided by Ellis that we contacted Cherryleaf to create an exemplary piece of documentation for one of our systems, with an aim to using the documentation as a template for our other services going forwards. Ginny Critcher was always punctual, polite and efficient in all her work. Where there were any doubts or suggestions, Ginny would provide insight into what the best approach would be in an eloquent and thoughtful manner.
Alan Oakden, MyScience Training

I first worked with Cherryleaf when I was with Zetex Semiconductors. We had a requirement for authoring/editorial support on some of our technical publications. Ellis initially made sure he fully understood our specific requirements and profile of the person we were looking for, then supplied us a selection of carefully vetted resumes. This saved us valuable time in selecting a shortlist of candidates. Ellis has also been an excellent source of help and advice on subsequent occasions. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the valuable services Ellis and Cherryleaf provide.
Mark Tamblyn, Zetex Recruitment services

Stimulating and thought provoking. Introduced techniques that I certainly will use in the future.
