It is not often that the word privilege can be used spontaneously in connection with a colleague in this profession. But it has been a rare privilege to work with Jane Garner and one that I continue to enjoy.         Freelancers tend to give up easily. Not Jane. She is one of that dwindling tribe whose enthusiasm manifests itself in never saying no to any editorial enterprise. A stickler for details with a healthy respect for deadlines, Jane is deft with words and is always ready to "just do it" making any assignment look deceptively easy . She has endeared herself to us by being more than a cut above the rest and her reservoir of journalistic know-how has strengthened the three Khaleej Times publications which I now edit.

        I had the great good fortune to work with Jane for much of the past ten years while with the BBC and came across few journalists who rivalled her professional approach and integrity. Her reputation was such that she was invariably granted special access to interviewees that was denied to other writers. But quite apart from her sheer professionalism, she was also great fun to work with. I have no hesitation in giving her services the highest recommendation.

        Jane has worked for me for 18 months and I have been happy to use her for very different features on a variety of magazines for several reasons. She doesn't just follow but expands the brief, has an apparently endless supply of good contacts, makes sure you get the right pix AND obeys deadlines.         I'd definitely recommend her to any busy commissioning editor - especially as I've yet to find a subject Jane can't cover!
