Cathstox got its name when it was formed in Catherine Street Oxford. We have been collaborating since 1996 and over that period the business has evolved from publishing consultants (principally in the area of automated design technologies), to an affiliation of technology, editorial and design consultants with publishing technology expertise of over 20 years.

We have an extensive client list and our work with companies migrating their business online has included redefining corporate identity for their new website and converting complete company solutions that involve publishing 1000s of documents - from conversion, copy-editing, quality checking and publishing via the web, print-friendly pages, ebooks etc.

For further details on these clients and projects please take a look at our client list and also what we do.

Rest assured whatever your needs, however small or large, they will be handled in an equally attentive and friendly manner. We take great pride in our work and are here to help you every step of the way!
