Business as usual
A statement from James Gray about business during the COVID-19 pandemic
Dear Clients,
As the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic forces us all to adapt to new ways of working and communicating, I wish to reassure you that I will continue to operate business as usual. I remain committed to delivering first-class translation, proofreading, and editing services ”now, as before” and all the necessary systems and protocols are in place for me to provide you with ongoing support through these difficult circumstances.
This pandemic brings a number of challenges and is inevitably causing us to re-evaluate and re-prioritize. The health and safety of our families and communities should always remain the first priority.
Stay safe. Stay healthy.
James

James Gray enters Bupa Great North Run 2014 to raise funds for Soi Dog UK
This September, Vienna-based translator and writer James Gray will be taking part in the Bupa Great North Run 2014, the world’s biggest half-marathon, to raise funds for Soi Dog UK.
The inaugural Great North Run was held in 1981, when less than 5,000 runners were expected to take part. Organisers were astounded when over 12,500 applied and over 10,000 of them completed the very first race. The Bupa Great North Run is now the blue ribbon event in the Great Run series, starting in Newcastle on Tyne and ending 13.1 miles later in South Shields. A record 56,000 entrants were accepted from over 122,000 applicants in 2013.

Joe said good night to the porter and wished him a pleasant weekend, stepped out into the street, and was glad to let the door behind him close on another week. It was a day in July much like any other, except today was July 23 and it was Joe’s birthday. Read more
