What our clients say
“Mr Bosworth and Dr Hoffman made every effort to ensure that the science communication training course they produced was up to UNEP’s quality standards. They are an excellent team that is highly flexible and client-oriented.”
— Dr Andrea Hinwood, Chief Scientist of the United Nations Environment Programme
“Brendon and Tali helped my research team gain skills in effectively communicating our science-based work at The South African Research Chair: Mineral Law in Africa (MLiA). This has been a great catapult for our productivity.
MLiA’s PhD researchers… have gained much more confidence in writing scientifically, and their work is accessible and relatable.”
— Prof. Hanri Mostert, DST/NRF SARChl Research Chair: Mineral Law in Africa
“Brendon helped us finalize a toolkit for African youth on leadership and climate adaptation consisting of eight modules written by different authors.
He did a terrific job, making it into one cohesive toolkit that is accessible for the target audience. He is a good communicator, very well organised, and transparent about his workflow.”
— Diana Kaekebeke, Climate and Resilience Academy Coordinator, CARE Nederland
