Over nearly two decades at Sage, a global technology organisation, I built deep expertise across Governance, Compliance, and Project/Programme Management Office (PMO) functions — skills that translate directly into high-quality business document proofreading for manufacturers and exporters. Governance & Compliance I've worked extensively within corporate governance frameworks, ensuring policies and documentation met internal and external compliance standards. This included reviewing and completing due diligence questionnaires (DDQs) and responding to client RFPs — documents demanding precision and a formal, professional tone, since small wording errors can undermine credibility with clients or regulators. PMO Experience My PMO background means I'm used to managing detailed documentation under deadline pressure — project reports, governance papers, and stakeholder communications that need to be clear and unambiguous. This gives me a strong instinct for spotting inconsistencies or unclear phrasing that a general proofreader might miss. Why this matters for your documents Manufacturers and exporters often need more than basic grammar-checking — tenders, RFQs, and export documentation require someone who understands how formal business English should read to be taken seriously by a Western client or buyer. I don't just fix spelling and punctuation; I recognise when phrasing might read as vague or unconvincing, and flag those issues rather than guessing at your meaning. What this means for you Detail-oriented review shaped by two decades in a compliance-driven environment Comfort with formal, technical, and regulatory-style English An eye for consistency across long or complex documents Reliable, professional communication throughout This combination of compliance documentation experience and PMO-level attention to detail sets my proofreading apart from general copyediting — particularly for tenders, RFQs, and DDQ-style responses where accuracy genuinely matters.
