Testimonials

Manidis Roberts is a long-time client, so I asked Peter Devine for a testimonial. Knowing he's a busy guy, I offered (jokingly) to write it myself. His reply: "Please do. You would do a much better job than me. Which is a testimonial in itself!"

~ Peter Devine, Managing Director, Manidis Roberts

"As landscape architects and site planners, Arterra have worked collaboratively with Stephen for over 10 years on numerous Open Space Plans of Management and Conceptual Master Plans. We have worked in a variety of capacities with Steve - as his client, through to fellow consultant and also as a sub-consultant working under his direction. No matter under which capacity, I have always found Steve to be a very friendly, personable, well spoken and thoroughly professional individual.

"I have found him to be extremely good at ascertaining and then communicating the critical issues surrounding the projects on which we have worked. His concise summaries and assessment of the myriad of complex matters often make the projects seem much easier to digest, for all concerned. I would whole-heartedly recommend his involvement on any project where clear and concise com munication is a must, and complex community and stakeholder liaison is required to achieve the project's outcomes."

~ Robert Smart, Director, Arterra Design

"I worked with Stephen for more than 15 years and, time and again, he proved his worth as a writer who was able to convert complex text into simple, crisp writing for technical and community audiences."

~ Geoff Roberts, Director, Manidis Roberts

"When we were drafting CREW's proposal for a major coal industry-funded research consultancy, we turned to Stephen for advice on project planning, client relationship management and communication strategy. Stephen's extensive experience, strategic perspective and practical, creative expertise were crucial in generating our vastly improved and winning proposal."

~ Dr Peter Sheldon, former Director, Centre for Research on Employment and Work, Griffith University

"Stephen gets straight to the point and turns your work upside down."

~ Rob Thorman, Manager, Sustainability and Innovation, ACT Land Development Agency

"Stephen is brilliant at reading and understanding dense, technical text and then conveying it in easy-to-understand writing."

~ Philip Manidis, Director, Manidis Roberts 

“SKM has used Stephen as a technical reviewer for a number of RTA projects over the past four years.  His review inputs have been very well received by the RTA and as a result he has become one of the RTA’s preferred technical reviewers.  Stephen’s focus on detail, ability to structure and articulate messages clearly and succinctly and his efficiency have made him a real pleasure to work with.  Stephen will remain my first choice for all future technical review roles.”

~ Dr Andrew Spinks, Senior Environmental Planner, Sinclair Knight Merz 

"I've employed Stephen on a number of projects. He can be relied on to provide high quality, well-written work. His writing skills stand out from the crowd."

~ John Filocamo, Program Manager, Land Administration, Land and Property Management Authority

"As a clinician, my writing skills were not up to scratch. Stephen Sheldon from Write to the Point took my clinically sound but rough draft and transformed it into a professional masterpiece. Stephen is a pleasure to work with and produces excellent results. I would highly recommend him for all your writing and editing needs.

~ Lisa Coombs, NSW Health
