Language Projects for Consultancy

Providing advice to others is what you do and you’re good at it. But sometimes you could use a little help, too. That’s precisely what we’re here for.

We assist consultancy firms working at home and abroad with their diverse projects. Our customers come from the fields of business & legal consultancy, recruitment, communications and immigration consultancy.

Are you simply looking to get regular press releases or job advertisements translated, your latest sales seminar or workshop transcribed, or your PowerPoint presentation translated urgently? That’s something we can advise you on.

Or are you looking for a reliable partner for all language services to support with a major change process at one of your clients over the course of several months or years? Our expertise in project management will help you do your job well, fast and with ease.

Of course, we understand that consultancy is a complex field with people at the focus, and that strategic change is at the heart of your job. Your communications need to be convincing and clear, but also sensitive.

For regular projects, we’ll put together a team to work on all of your assignments. This way your texts retain a consistent style and you’ll recognise your own voice in them each time.

Of course, it’s a given that your assignment will be completed by native speakers.

We know that the fruits of our labours won’t just end up in your office – you’ll be publishing them or forwarding them to your customers. We won’t let you down. We’ll make sure that you can keep your deadlines as well as delivering real quality. Never fear.
