Interpreting Services

Professional interpreters are used in many different scenarios and for a large number of reasons. They facilitate seamless understanding between speakers of different languages, allowing speakers to be understood without the worry of being misrepresented.

Our interpreters are skilled professionals with many years’ experience working as interpreters in a wide variety of situations. They also specialise in particular areas of industry, leading to greater accuracy in their communication.

Our wide ranging interpreting services include consecutive interpreting, simultaneous interpreting, ad-hoc or business interpreting, whispered or chuchotage interpreting and public service interpreting.

Email us or call 0800 321 3604 for more information on interpreting.

Consecutive interpreting

This form of interpreting is often used in business meetings and for training events. Just two languages are spoken and the interpreter follows the speaker with the foreign language speech. If a lot of technical data is involved, the interpreter will make notes while the speaker speaks.

Simultaneous or conference interpreting

The speaker’s words are interpreted as they are speaking (simultaneously). For this form of interpreting, you need interpreting equipment: booths, headphones and microphones, as well as simultaneous interpreters working in pairs.

Ad-hoc / business interpreting

In this form of interpreting, just two languages are involved. This is used for small groups, perhaps if a company is hosting a visiting delegation from a foreign country. The types of situation can be extremely varied.

We can provide qualified interpreters to help you with a multilingual conference or an important business meeting with an international client. We can also provide court interpreters for hearings and consultations. In addition, we can provide interpreters for Public Services - many of our interpreters are qualified to Diploma level in Public Service Interpreting.

We apply the same high standards to our interpreting assignments as we do to our translation projects. Our interpreters are professionally qualified mother tongue linguists who specialise in specific areas of business.

Whether you need a simultaneous or conference interpreter, a consecutive interpreter, or an interpreter for whispered or ad-hoc interpreting, we can help. We'll manage your interpreting assignment, ensuring interpreters arrive at the right time, in the right place and that they provide you with a professional service at all times.
