Editing and proofreading reports for Ecorys

The challenge

Ecorys is a research-based consultancy that helps its clients make a positive impact in the world through its research, consulting, programme management and communications services.

Delivering well-written, accurate and consistent research reports for high-profile clients takes time, skill and resource. And when reports have multiple authors and span hundreds of pages, it can be even more of a challenge to ensure high-quality results time and time again. Ecorys needed a trusted extension of its large in-house editorial team to provide flexible capacity at times of peak demand.

The solution

The Tate & Clayburn team became intimately acquainted with the client’s material and quality assurance processes. This meant we could take on large, urgent projects at short notice so that Ecorys could meet tight deadlines with its clients. Our work involved:

• providing a highly trained editorial and referencing team that delivered speedy and high-quality work at short notice for EU institutions
• offering a bespoke quality assurance process and a second pair of eyes on extensively edited reports
• continually investing in our capacities with regular client catch-ups and in-house training to respond to feedback.
