About

“Working with Leighton to provide our brands with top-quality French- and German-to-English translations and English copywriting has been a breeze. His eye for detail and dedication to deliver content that resonates well with a British audience, and more importantly, content that is in line with brand guidelines and reference material, makes our jobs so much easier. Leighton has produced engaging copy for many of our top-tier clients, including most recently for global payment providers and luxury cosmetics brands. It’s always been so easy and pleasant communicating with Leighton, and I hope we’ll work together for many years still!”

Myrto Mitillou
Transcreation Manager at OLIVER

"Working with Leighton is very pleasant and absolutely helpful for our projects. Leighton translates complex sentence frameworks for us. German - English UK or German - English US. The sentence structures cover a wide variety of subject areas: Nutritional supplements, clothing industry, services, our own homepage, content automation, etc. The understanding behind such a sentence framework is not self-evident. Leighton has dug in on his own and is developing his own ideas to bring the sentence structure to the highest quality. He is also involved in the Quality Assurance rounds and also assists us in proofreading the projects. In addition, Leighton often provides us with very helpful feedback beyond the agreed scope of the project, for which we are so grateful. We really enjoy working with him. On-time delivery, flawless communication, friendliness - thanks for the great collaboration!"
