Какие варианты перевода вы могли бы предложить?
Контекст: Переводческая компания рекламирует свою деятельность и своих переводчиков как самых надежных и профессиональных. В конце раздела о себе она заявляет, что кроме всего прочего делает своих клиентов счастливыми (раздел так и зовется "Не страдаем скромностью").
Как бы ярко и интересно выразить мысль насчет скромности?
Мой черновой вариант: More than translation

"We're not known for our modesty" or "we've got nothing to be modest about"
I think something like that could work. Or, maybe a variant of Churchill's famous words "He is a modest man and has much about which to be modest."
Maybe "We've got nothing to be modest about?"
Maybe "We've got nothing to be modest about?"

WE don't suffer from any modesty
We don't "suffer" from any modesty;
