WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Sir Bob Harvey
QSO, former Mayor of Waitakere City
“Waitakere City had on many occasions a chance to host Japanese visitors as we expanded our knowledge, understanding and business relationships with our sister city in Japan, Kakogawa. Anna Fisher made our life so much easier with her superb skills as an interpreter. As the former Mayor of Waitakere City I came to rely on her for understanding, wisdom and ability to make every meeting a success. She is simply one of the most invaluable assets in the linking of Japanese culture for business and for social occasions”.

Kimberley Wu
Adviser Global Partnerships and Strategy Auckland Council
“I have known Anna since 2013 through engaging her as an interpreter for some of Auckland Council’s Japan-related activities. Constantly Anna has demonstrated highly proficient language abilities and cultural awareness that are crucial to the successes of the engagements. No wonder she has built up an impressive track record of working with the Council and the previous city councils for many years. What also impresses me is her genuine passion for helping promote understanding and build friendship between New Zealand and Japan, which has seen her undertaking tasks beyond her duty of calls as an interpreter on numerous occasions and is much appreciated.”
Yusuke Oki, Commercial Manager of Southern Travelnet
“Anna works as a tour guide and coordinator for our company. She is fluent in reading and writing in Japanese and of course very familiar with the Japanese culture. Anna is able to meet the demands of our clients, no matter how varied their needs are. On occasions, our clients require her not only to guide in English but also to use Japanese to explain complex subjects. Anna is ideally suited to guiding for these types of tours”.
