What our clients have to say:
I have worked with the IOP team on multiple projects, both during my time as International Publishing Director at Hodder Education and subsequently in my current role as Director of Cunningham Publishing Services Ltd.
Iolanda and her team are deeply knowledgeable about educational content creation and can turn their hand to anything – writing, designers, editing, setting, permissions, the list goes on! I have always found that they treat every project like their own and are truly committed to making the best resources possible.
I have worked with them on many strategically core publications, including successful tender submissions. As well as being highly skilled and dedicated, they are an absolute joy to collaborate with and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.
What our clients have to say:
IO Publishing has provided Cambridge University Press and Assessment, Africa Branch, with a highly professional service over the past 8 years.
During this period we found them to deliver projects on time and within budget. We can recommend their services to anyone in the industry.
We continue to work with IO Publishing on large projects and mostly indigenous South African languages where they edit and proofread, typeset and provide artwork.
Their expertise in this field has been an asset to our publishing programme.
