TESTIMONIALS
“Adrian provides an excellent proofreading service, with meticulous attention to detail. His professional approach and eagle eyes are valued by us and our clients, giving us peace of mind before our materials hit the print presses or go live online. He offers a timely service and is a pleasure to deal with. We would recommend Adrian’s proofreading service to anyone publishing content.” Anna Jones Director, Commercial Inspirations “Adrian has extensive experience of the design industry and an in-depth knowledge of graphic design and the production process that only hands-on experience can bring. His copy-editing and proofing skills are excellent. His attention to detail, dedication to quality, strong client and supplier relationships and great sense of humour are qualities I have always valued and relied upon.” Tim Parr Client Services Director, Corporate Culture Group “Adrian is a pleasure to work with. He’s not only a highly skilled proofreader, but also has extensive experience of the creative design industry. One of Adrian's greatest assets is his meticulous nature – a valuable skill to have in this profession.” Becky Reardon Managing Director, Embrace Marketing “Adrian is a brilliant proofreader thanks to his design background, excellent attention to detail and supreme grasp of English grammar and spelling – and his encyclopaedic knowledge of classical and jazz music means he’s never short of a recommendation or two!” Catherine Blackwell Managing Director, Blackbird Marketing “I have had the pleasure of working with Adrian for a number of years and have, at all times, felt safe in the knowledge that I can rely on his superb proofreading skills to spot the less obvious errors. Even under pressure, he remains calm and always delivers on time.” Eve Huntington Communications Officer, Saddleworth School |
“Adrian is an integral part of our catalogue team – his experience, knowledge and insight are critical for our project and we are reliant on his skills to pick up on things many wouldn’t. His commitment and dedication are second to none. He possesses a fantastic knowledge of English grammar and gives constructive feedback and suggestions. Respected by all the team, I’d highly recommend Adrian for proofreading – an art just as important as the creative, yet often overlooked.”
Frazer Hynes Head of Marketing, Ralawise “Adrian came on board at extremely short notice to proofread and check artwork and text for my album ‘Quiet Is The Star’. Several pairs of eyes had been on this artwork for a number of weeks, but he spotted some really key errors we had all failed to find. He was very clear in communicating his suggested corrections and also very generously worked in record time to meet my deadline. Highly recommended, even for small projects you think you can handle yourself.” Georgia Mancio Jazz vocalist, lyricist and producer “It's great to read something that really resonates with how I think about my music, but that is also from Adrian's perspective as a listener and wordsmith. This really brings my album to life in a way that other writers don't always capture.” Josephine Davies Jazz saxophonist and composer “Adrian is a rare talent amongst proofreading professionals. His dedication, motivation and forensic editing abilities are unique and his experience of working on brand projects is second to none. He has a brilliant, if somewhat wry, sense of humour, with an amazing talent to always remain positive. Having worked closely with Adrian for some thirty years, I can confidently recommend his services, as I know he will contribute both passion and profit to any organisation he works with.” John Furnival Design and communications consultant |
“I worked alongside Adrian for eleven years and he became an invaluable part of our team, as we relied on his meticulous and accurate production abilities to see work through to completion. Our client base also respected his focus on detail, particularly when it came to proofreading and checking printers’ proofs – we frequently had three sets of eyes checking our work and it still amazes me what Adrian picked up. He possesses an excellent command of English grammar and is very easy to work with, often taking away the stress from difficult deadlines (and an enthusiastic Elgarian, to boot!). I would thoroughly recommend Adrian’s services – his extensive experience in the design industry reaffirms his skill set; and, as we all know, success often lies in the detail.”
Barbara Steele Creative Director, Iconiq Design “I’ve worked with Adrian for over twenty years and his proofreading is professional, thorough and accurate. Always efficient, as well as consistent, he also offers constructive suggestions regarding grammar and design context and has sound advice for alternative words or phrases. An excellent and crucial service if you are serious about your business.” Jo Walker Managing Director, JTW Creative “I have known Adrian in a professional capacity for over thirty years and, without doubt, he is one of the most reliable and honest guys I have ever worked with. His proofreading covered countless brochures, annual reports, publications, websites and signage projects for many of our blue-chip clients, both nationally and internationally. He has an outstanding approach to his work – his attention to detail, knowledge of the English language, creativity and accuracy, combined with superlative project management skills, are second to none.” Mike Loines Design and communications consultant |
