ALBA’s Story

Soon after graduating from the University of Oxford in 2009, David McArdle embarked on a trip across Central Asia. Upon his return to the UK, he promptly established ALBA Editing and Proofreading.

David’s dedication to excellence in editing and proofreading quickly earned him a diverse and loyal client base, creating opportunities to expand the business.

Since beginning operations in 2010, ALBA has grown steadily and now operates on a global scale.

Today, ALBA’s client portfolio spans over 60 countries, serving three key sectors: academia, government/international organizations, and corporate.

Throughout its development, ALBA has remained committed to its core principles, established from the very beginning:

  • To listen attentively and fully understand clients’ needs to provide tailored, high-quality services;
  • To maintain availability around the clock, accommodating clients across different time zones;
  • To offer generous aftercare services, reviewing and refining documents after initial completion to ensure they meet their intended purpose;
  • To accept payment only after the work is completed, providing flexible, global, and user-friendly payment options.
