Testimonials
From our clients
Joseph Rowntree Foundation
CPM have been producing JRF reports since 2009, and have impressed us with their quality of work, reliability in meeting deadlines, flexibility in taking on work at short notice and friendliness in dealing with requests on a daily basis. They are now involved with developing and producing JRF’s first ebooks.
Rosie Sweeney, Content and Publishing Manager, Joseph Rowntree Foundation
Thomas Cook Publishing
Thomas Cook Publishing has a special relationship with CPM, forged over a decade of working together on a wide range of travel-related publications. Their experience, resourcefulness and flexibility have enabled us to build an extensive portfolio of over 350 titles, whilst their reliability has led to us recently entering into a single-source supplier agreement with them for the packaging of our publishing programme, further endorsing the value that they add to our business. They are effectively an extension of our own in-house team.
Chris Young, Director of Publishing, Thomas Cook Publishing

Éditions Gründ
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for your valuable contribution to this monumental project. Without the hard work of you and your excellent team, these fourteen volumes may never have seen the light of day. To reach such a high level of quality while keeping to a tight budget and deadline is quite some achievement. Please rest assured that we will warmly recommend your services to our colleagues in the trade.
Alain and Antoine Gründ, respectively Chairman and Director of New Technologies, Éditions Gründ
Thomas Cook Publishing
You made my job really easy. Working with you was like working with a colleague, not a supplier. You are all flexible, easy to get along with and I know you collectively want the best possible book. […] Working with other suppliers in the past has made me realise how good you are and I know with CPM that we’re not going to get billed for every single change and request.
Maisie Fitzpatrick, Thomas Cook Publishing
SEN Press
You’ve helped me so much to realise this project, and I hope you know how much I appreciate it.
Peter Clarke, SEN Press

The book looks fantastic, by the way! I’ve really enjoyed getting the chance to finally leaf through the pages myself. You’ve done yourself very proud.
Shelley Dickerson, Production Editor, Houghton Mifflin
Macmillan Education
Thank you (all) so much for your hard work and dedication […] You have really got to know the course intimately – from the nitty gritty details at the very beginning right through to the even grittier details at the very end! This has been extremely reassuring for us throughout the whole process. It has been a pleasure working with such capable project managers.
Nicola Green, Commissioning Editor, Macmillan Education
Pearson Education
I would actually like to take this opportunity to thank you and the team at CPM for getting this bid to us on time and in good order […] Jenny, Janice, Hasina and I really appreciate the patience, good humour and perseverance that has been shown throughout. Please pass on our grateful thanks to everyone concerned.

Jordina Burnat, Parragon
Pearson Education
I'm pleased to confirm that we have at long last received the results for the Rwanda bid, and it is great news - both Physics and Chemistry have been approved! [...] Furthermore in both subjects we received the highest marks overall for content and presentation. [...] So all in all this is a brilliant result and I can't tell you how delighted the whole team is!
Gail Maurer, Pearson (about Rwanda Physics and Chemistry)
Thank you for all the work you put in on Croatia. I have to say it looks absolutely excellent, and I think is the most professional-looking and appealing Bradt guide I’ve ever seen – so congratulations.
Piers Letcher, author of Bradt Croatia
I should add that your project management is a huge help. I have never had a project manager for a job before, and it really does make a huge difference!
Susie Lunt, travel guide author
Of all the publishers I work with, CPM has always been one of my favorites. Unlike some of your competitors, you all have always been upfront and transparent, and always been a pleasure to work with at every turn. CPM is also spectacular about sending payments when you say you will.
Adam Bray, travel writer
I really enjoyed working with the Cambridge team. We had our challenges from time to time, but we met them with aplomb, and I think the fact that we worked together is going to show in the quality (and sales!) of this book.
Roger Harris, author of Bradt Amazon
I always feel that being edited by CPM is like going to a good hairdresser’s, you look better once the editors have done their subtle stuff than when you walked in.
Laurence Phillips, updater for Thomas Cook Pocket Guide Lille
I am fabulously happy with the guide - great work all round!
Laura Dixon, author of Thomas Cook Pocket Guide Bristol
Evidently you worked out all my convoluted arrows and balloons perfectly, because it is in the exact order I had envisioned. You should get a scout badge for path-finding! […] You have been unfailingly patient and good humoured […]! It is a pleasure to work with you, and […] I am appreciative of your efforts to make the finished product the best it can be. A good editor with sharp eyes is worth her weight in gold!
Barbara Rogers, author of several Thomas Cook travel guides
I've worked with Jackie and the editors at CPM on several guidebook projects over the past couple of years and I've always found them very easy to work with. The brief they give me to update or write guidebooks for Thomas Cook is always very clear and I get paid on time. I would recommend CPM to any destination specialists who are interested in writing or updating guidebooks.
Victoria Trott, Travel writer
Just finished another job for Jackie at CPM, where she saw that everything ran smoothly and quickly as usual. Always happy to work with her and her company.
Mike Gerrard, Travel writer
I have been working for this company on and off for years. CPM is a professional outfit handling interesting publishing projects. The staff are a pleasure to deal with and payment is prompt.
Richard Elliott, Translator
They are professional, pay promptly and are very nice to talk to, definitely would work with them again.
Barbara Freitas, Translator
Friendly and clear communication. They were fast to pay. I accidentally overlooked an unpaid invoice and they took care of it without delay.
Cathryn Siegal-Bergman, Translator
