About us

Ultimate Proof Ltd provides professional proofreading, copy-editing and copywriting services, specialising in working for business publishers, education providers and design agencies.

The company was founded in 2004 by Kelly Owen, a professional proofreader and editor, with a wealth of experience in all aspects of producing copy, as well as print and production. 

Seeing there was demand for a truly professional proofreading agency – that didn't charge high consultancy fees but also was big enough to cope with complex projects and tight turnarounds – she brought together a small team of freelance editing professionals to broaden the Ultimate Proof service offering. Clients benefit from a straightforward and reliable service – managed by Kelly – with access to an editorial expert 24/7.

Today, Ultimate Proof offers its services to business clients throughout the UK and Europe. We have a reputation for our reliability, delivery of high-quality work and building long-term relationships with our clients. 
Our service is fully managed by Kelly Owen, Founder and Managing Director, and each piece of work is matched to the most suitable editor available. 

Each member of our small freelance team has been carefully selected and tested, is qualified, and has a breadth of knowledge and experience that brings great value to their work. 

Our company CV includes English Language and Literature degrees (BA and MA), proofreading and copy-editing diplomas along with numerous proofreading and editing certificates from respected organisations, such as CiEP and the Publishing Training Centre. 

Our editorial experience, working for publishers, education providers, businesses of all sizes and individuals, means we are confident with any subject or document.

Quite simply, we love words, we love to read and we love to help our clients! Contact us today to find out more.
