Fiercely bright, and exceptionally driven, Annie is one of the best writers and editors I have worked with. I thoroughly enjoyed my five years with Annie at TM Forum, during which we grew the organisation’s publishing activities from one annual magazine to a wide range of publications and digital channels. Annie’s knowledge, creativity and attention to detail were instrumental in driving the success of these activities. Annie is also funny and loyal, making her a pleasure to work with and an asset to any team.
Beccy Henderson, Content Strategist, Smart Digital, and my former boss for four years who taught me a lot, including when to take a good, deep breath before speaking
Annie Turner is a highly professional and experienced journalist with an exceptional command of the English language and the ability to reliably meet deadlines. Annie has the ability to glean relevant storyline information from a vast array of contacts that range from CEOs of multi-million pound international companies through to work experience students and to turn that information into informative and entertaining copy.
I highly recommend Annie.
Paul Whytock, European Editor, Electropages – he was my first editor, all that time ago, and I blame him, largely, for how I turned out
As a writer, Annie is creative and well informed, and able to make compelling, original arguments. She is extremely knowledgeable about telecoms and related industries.
Because of her deep industry knowledge and years of experience, as an editor Annie is a very safe pair of hands – exactly what you need in such a role. She understands what to look out for to ensure work is accurate, fair and the best it can be.
Annie is also a talented line manager (she was mine for four years). She has strong emotional intelligence and encourages people to play to their strengths, providing support when needed. She is also open to learning new things from other team members.
Annie is fun to work with, honest and reliable.
Sarah Wray, Editor @ FINN, Editor @ Smartcitiesworld.net, Contributing Editor @ Mobile Europe and more besides – I was Sarah’s line manager, although she didn’t need much managing but taught me a great deal
Having worked closely with Annie for many years am very happy to recommend her. She is always full of energy and insight, bringing a huge amount of experience, pragmatism and expertise to any situation. She was respected by many members of the team and happily took a number of people under her wing supporting them to develop their own careers.
Her work ethic is unparalleled and sets a great example – she will always do whatever needs to be done to get a job completed without ever compromising on quality. She’s also a lot of fun to be around with a wicked sense of humour, which can count for an awful lot when the pressure is on!
Katy Gambino, Commercial Director, The Supper Club – we worked closely, as peers, for several years and I learned a lot from her too
I worked with Annie for several years at TM Forum. Annie is one of the best editors I have encountered in my 25+ years of industry/technology analysis. She is articulate, demanding and detail oriented in her editing and writing, yet supportive of her colleagues in producing quality work.
Importantly, Annie’s work effort and track record are excellent, always striving to deliver on time, and frequently working long hours to assure timeliness and make up for unforeseen obstacles. Her Chairman’s Award is a testament to this. I would recommend her without reservation.
Rob Rich, former Managing Director, TM Forum Insights Research – we worked together for about six years, often on pretty big projects that had some really hairy moments, but always came good
