"I just started as a freelancer with Terptree. So far I have found them a great agency to work for - booking staff really friendly and responsive, they do their best to get access to online links and prep for remote interpreting (much better than some agencies I have worked for). Their portal is easy to operate and they respect my fee structure. They seem to really value their interpreters. I am very happy to be working with them. They also provided interpreters in general with lots of free CPD during the pandemic, which has been so helpful and supportive during a difficult time. Much appreciated."
