Business‘Graham’s work has consistently been accurate, comprehensive and insightful. His can-do attitude and efficient approach make him a valuable asset to any publishing enterprise.’
– Editor, B2B content marketing agency |

‘We use Graham as a regular editor of our business reports, a task to which he brings both a keen eye for detail and an instinctive sense of style. More than that, Graham is able to evaluate the cogency of the argument and the way it is presented, and to ensure that complex technical matters are presented comprehensibly to the layman; his contributions invariably improve the clarity and quality of our reports. He copes well with the vagaries of our ever-changing timelines, is able to handle challenges well beyond normal editorial services, and is always professional. I recommend him very highly.’
– C.J. Rowe, Delivery and Quality Manager
‘I work for a graphic design agency who are constantly producing menus for hospitality clients. Graham helps us with copy checking our work and does a fantastic job every time. He is extremely thorough and has an extensive knowledge of the English language and we feel very comfortable putting our work in his hands. Since our work is very brand-focused we often have brand guidelines that we need to abide by. Graham takes the time to cross reference our work with any brand guidelines we send him and flags up any inconsistencies for us. He is happy to send us amends in whichever format suits us best, his comments are always perfectly clear and he is always happy to answer any questions we may have regarding any amends to aid our own education. We have used a lot of copy checkers in the past but Graham definitely stands out as the best we have used.’
– Liam Kearns, Harry, Larry + Gary
‘I have to be careful how to write this as Graham's keen eye for detail will surely highlight any errors ... I hired Graham to proofread and edit some website content. The speed at which he got back to us was impressive, particularly taking into account the detail he went into. I would have no hesitation in recommending Graham to anyone who needs a reliable, detail-oriented professional!’
– Lee Tonge, CV Consultant and Founder of The CV Store
‘Graham offered a first-class service despite the short notice. I will definitely be using him again.’

Other organisations
‘Graham has been regularly proofreading our monthly newsletters and other materials for ALCS for about a year now. We’ve always found him extremely professional, accurate and efficient. On a number of occasions he’s turned over quite big jobs with short notice. Specifically, he was extremely helpful in double checking the calculations in one of our distribution reports, and also spotting gaps in our house style guidelines where clarity was needed. Our core audience are writers, many of whom are naturally proofreaders too, so Graham’s accuracy is hugely appreciated, and we've come to rely on him a great deal.’
