Every assignment goes to an interpreter with demonstrable experience in your context — Crown Court, NHS, simultaneous conference or corporate negotiation. Careful matching by language pair, specialism and location, not a rotating pool.
From intake to close, one Maastricht-based project manager coordinates your assignment — including conferences in 4 languages, multi-year interpreting contracts and rush requests outside office hours.
Every interpreter is bound by an individual NDA. For legal assignments we select NRPSI-registered, DBS-checked interpreters; for NHS work, safeguarding-trained healthcare interpreters aligned to NHS SBS framework. UK-GDPR data processing agreement available on request.
Rush requests and interpreting coordination are reachable outside office hours. For regular clients we offer a direct line for urgent interpreting assignments — lead time confirmed in the quote.
No hidden meter: here are the factors that determine what an interpreting assignment costs and how quickly an interpreter can be available. We confirm the exact rate and lead time in the quote.
Dispatch time confirmed in the quote — varying by location, language pair and interpreting mode.
Book an interpreter →Translation apps and AI tools are useful for informal comprehension — reading a foreign message or a tourist conversation. But for legal proceedings under the Equality Act 2010 and NHS Act 2006, clinical consultations in NHS Trusts, police interviews and confidential business negotiations, a qualified human interpreter is not optional — it is a statutory or professional requirement. The VRI option combines human interpreting expertise with the speed of a digital connection for situations where physical presence is not required.
Not anonymised case studies — but the type of assignment for which clients regularly engage us.
Legal / HMCTS NRPSI-registered, DBS-checked interpreter for a Crown Court hearing — language pair and criminal specialism matched, safeguarding-trained, aligned to HMCTS interpreter framework and NHS SBS standards.
Corporate / Conference Multilingual conference with four language combinations — simultaneous interpreters in pairs per booth to AIIC technical recommendations, with interpretation equipment including installation and on-site technician.
Healthcare / NHS Healthcare interpreter via VRI for an NHS Trust outpatient consultation — UK-GDPR-compliant encrypted platform, safeguarding-trained, aligned to NHS SBS framework. Never via consumer video tools.
Certified translations for our international cases are delivered quickly and carefully. Our project manager knows our account inside out.
