Our mission is to deliver exceptional
content to our clients.
English Editorial Solutions (EES) was established in early 2015 out of the need to address the growing demand for high-quality copywriting, editing, and proofreading services in Hong Kong. EES was founded by a small team of freelance editors who had worked together on various projects in the past. Being a diverse group of editors, we knew that we had great potential in the industry.
EES continues to provide high-quality copywriting, editing, proofreading, and translation services both in Hong Kong and abroad. We have a vast portfolio of satisfied customers who continue to use EES as their go‑to editors.
The inspiration behind our name is quite simple. We wanted to create something that would be instantly recognisable to our customers – hence our simple logo and name. The green quill in the middle of our logo represents our respect for the environment, as the majority of our work is done online. We pride ourselves in our accuracy, transparency, and professionalism, regardless of client or scale of project.
Meet the Co-founders.
