Our staff
We employ over 20 staff, most of whom work in our offices in New Mills, Derbyshire.
Our editing team is, we believe, the best plain-English editing department in the world. The team is comprised of staff from various backgrounds and with a range of ages and lived experiences. We do not use freelance editors.
We also have a team of trainers who run our various training courses.

Administration department
The busy administration department handles the day-to-day running of the campaign. It also deals with enquiries about all our services.
Editing department
Our editors come from a wide range of backgrounds, but all have a great deal of experience in making even the most difficult documents understandable for the intended audience. They work closely with clients throughout the editing process to make sure that everyone is happy with the end result.
