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.
