About Us

Anchor English Proofreading is a British company and was founded in 1999, which makes it one of the longest-established internet proofreading businesses. It began as the copy editing division of a language services company in Japan, but as the amount of work increased it soon became a business in its own right. In 2001 the head office moved to the UK but we still maintain strong links with Japan and have a large client base there. Of course, since we are an internet-based company our customers now come from all over the world.

The success of our business depends on the quality of our staff. Therefore we only employ editors who can meet the highest professional standards. You can rest assured that the editor assigned to your work will be an English native speaker, a highly educated language expert, and a specialist in several chosen fields.
