About Me

My professional background combines language, technology, business, and teaching. I studied electrical engineering, aerospace operations management, and economics.

Later, I also worked as a translator at a Swiss patent law firm, where I translated technical patent documents from German into English and proofread English texts.

I also taught for many years in Switzerland, including courses in business administration, economics, marketing, and project management - in both German and English.

Even after retirement, I continue to enjoy working with German and English texts. My clients benefit from my experience, my personal way of working, and fairly calculated prices without agency surcharges.

Your text will not end up in an anonymous editing process. I read and revise every order personally – carefully, directly, and without complications.

This is personal English proofreading from Bruce Turner, translator in Basel, for clients in Switzerland and beyond.

Over the years, I have worked as a proofreader, translator, and English text reviser for companies, organizations, and private individuals from a range of fields.

You will find a selection of my references here.

We want to express our sincere gratitude to you, Mr. Turner, for correcting and significantly improving the English language of various documents for our new website. It was essential to us that such work be carried out by an experienced, highly qualified professional like yourself. We can confirm that you have distinguished yourself through your exceptional reliability, utmost care, and efficiency. You have consistently delivered the results of your work quickly and with outstanding quality. We look forward to continuing to work with you and wish you continued success. Anouar

I know Mr. Turner from when he worked at a Swiss patent law firm, where he was responsible for translating new applications and official responses. Both tasks place the highest demands on technical understanding and insight, as well as logical thinking and expression. I have been convinced that Mr. Turner is more than capable of performing these tasks. His acquired knowledge enables him to communicate his ideas to others clearly and diplomatically. For example, he has demonstrated his ability to understand work plans and work descriptions from a wide range of technical disciplines and to explain them to others both verbally and in writing. He integrates well into the company structure and works smoothly with others. Although we met in the context of patent law, I am aware that Mr. Turner has also gained experience in other fields, such as marketing and project management. Even without direct knowledge of his achievements in this area, I have gained the impression that he has performed very well here as well. I enjoyed working with Mr. Turner and feel confident in recommending him without reservation to any company or client he chooses to work with. I wish him every success. Franklin
