testimonials
Sam has been proofreading for Flag on a freelance basis since 2020. During that time, he has proofread complex campaigns for clients, involving various different reports, which also needed consistency checking across deliverables, as well as data checking for accuracy. His relentless eye for detail, along with his ability to have a broader overview of a campaign, has been invaluable. He has been extremely flexible and can turn his hand to all sorts of different kinds of work, from the big reports to small videos and amends checking jobs. He always provides the highest-quality work even to the tightest of deadlines – never compromising on thoroughness. His editorial suggestions always add value for our clients. He is a pleasure to work with, always good humoured, helpful and flexible.
Susanne Lyle, Head of Quality, Flag Communication
Sam was recommended to me by a former colleague for the quality of his work and I have to say that I was very lucky as he is a real "gem". As an international organisation, our priority is to publish documents with clear wording and impeccable grammar, and I know that nothing will escape from Sam's expert eye. Sam is not only precise and meticulous, reviewing the least comma in order to harmonise across paragraphs, but he can also suggest better wording while taking care to respect the main idea. And what's more, he works very quickly, always meeting deadlines even when I send him last-minute requests ... Which, of course, I appreciate a lot.
