Some of our key client organisations
What our clients say
Mary and her team have been proofreading our key publications for a number of years, helping us maintain a high standard of communication across our varied audiences. They always deliver an accurate review of our copy to make sure it is cohesive and uniform in style, which is especially important when there is a wide range of authors. Their expertise gives us complete confidence that every publication reflects the quality and professionalism we aim for.
Jess Brandford-Borgfeldt, Communications Manager, King’s College
Mary’s responsiveness and quality of work are excellent. We have used Mary for many years; she is part of our routine to ensure our external communications are well written and easily understood. I encourage anyone to run their work past Mary as she will always revert with clarity and enhancements.
Graham Leaming, Chief Executive Officer, Skellerup Holdings Limited
Mary’s proofreading services are an integral part of ensuring our corporate documents are of consistently premium quality for our stakeholders. Mary and her team are incredibly thorough and knowledgeable, which gives us the peace of mind we need when publishing documents. As well as being a pleasure to liaise with, Mary works quickly and efficiently, particularly when we are working to some very strict deadlines. We would recommend her services anytime.
Yannis Nauman, Global Communications Manager, Zespri International Ltd
Mary’s proofreading service is a routine part of our document release process and I am impressed by the number of errors detected even after several approvals in-house. Every piece of our promotional material is passed through the vigilant eyes of Mary and her team; this ensures that highly accurate and consistent messages reach our customers.
Fiona Cresswell, General Manager – Marketing Operations, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Limited
I never cease to be amazed at what Mary and her team pick up that would often make or break the impact of my work. It’s such a relief to have that unbiased, fresh set of fastidious eyes to ensure accuracy. I can always be assured Mary will go the extra mile to offer suggestions that add value.
Diana Parry, Creative Strategist and Storyteller, Brandwell Ltd
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mary and her team for over 10 years, and I can honestly say they are one of the most reliable professionals I’ve ever collaborated with. Their proofreading is consistently accurate, thorough, and delivered with impressive speed – even on tight deadlines.
What truly sets them apart is their willingness to help. No matter the request, they approach every project with care, precision, and a positive attitude. If you’re looking for a proofreader who combines accuracy, efficiency, and genuine professionalism, I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
Nicki Chapman, Head of Client Services, LIKEMINDS
Mary has consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail in meeting our corporate proofreading needs. She turns work around quickly, is highly responsive to time-sensitive requests, and always delivers to a very high standard.
Importantly, she does far more than review documents for grammar and language. She engages with the content thoughtfully and with clear understanding. Much of our material includes technical and sector-specific language, and she is across it. Her feedback is considered and relevant, at times identifying duplications, inconsistencies or contradictions that may not be immediately apparent to the various authors of a document.
In addition to improving individual documents, she provides practical guidance and style notes that help us lift the overall quality and consistency of our written materials over time. This has added real value to our internal capability.
I would highly recommend her to any organisation seeking a proofreader who combines technical understanding, sound judgement and a genuinely collaborative approach.
