“Perhaps our most unique selling point, however, is the fact that all our transcripts are proofread by a professional CIEP-qualified proofreader,” highlights Emma. “Therefore, not only is our written output free of typos, but also the punctuation and grammar is as polished as possible. Most transcriptionists are not qualified proofreaders, so this is definitely an extra level of service that we provide that others don’t.” Despite having many years’ experience, Emma only set the company up in 2020. “It was right at the beginning of the pandemic and the first lockdown! It was a challenging year for most businesses, but especially so for firms like ours that were not entitled to any government funding or support,” Emma explains. However, the company has already acquired a wealth of clients in its first year of trading, including estate agents, veterinary surgeries, fitness chains, job seekers and members of the general public too. “A lot of our work comes from recommendations, social media and from search engines. In 2021 we plan to focus more on networking with local businesses to spread the word about Write-Type.” Now, Emma plans to continue to grow at a steady pace by offering the same high standard of service to any new clients that she acquires. “As a lot more people are starting to work from home now due to the pandemic, this could give us a great opportunity to provide our services to those people, to make their lives easier and to ultimately save them time.” Company: Write-Type Contact: Emma Sandford Website: www.write-type.co.uk Written Success Based in Cheshire, transcription agency Write-Type is still only in its first year of operation, and what a year it’s been!
