        Jane Garner is always the most professional of journalists. Her style is always lively, informative, accurate. She has the knack of drawing you into a complex story and putting over detail in an easily digested format.         I have always admired Jane's interviewing technique. She is always well briefed in advance so she can talk knowledgeably to her interviewees without wasting time on irritating preliminaries. She is thorough and organised. But what really makes her unique is that every interviewee feels they have been "properly" interviewed when the notebook goes away - and when the article is produced and printed.         For more than 10 years in public relations for the BBC, the Royal Norwegian Embassy and now as a consultant I have always regarded Jane as my single most valuable contact. I am very happy to recommend her.

        Jane Garner has worked as a freelance journalist for Profile Pursuit Ltd for over three years. In that time I have found her work to be of a very high standard. She writes very well to brief and delivers copy on time and with pictures. She is excellent at giving updates and keeping the commissioning editor informed of any possible problems with or changes to the original brief. I consider her a very able and valuable contributor to PPL's stable of titles and have no trouble in giving her the highest recommendation.

        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.
