Effective Interpreting for Every Need

Consecutive Interpreting for Events

Help attendees focus on what’s said rather than how it’s spoken.

Whether it’s the need for seamless understanding between parties at an international summit or press conference, our wealth of experience helps us effectively plan and execute seamless interpreting solutions for every type of important event.

Our turnkey solutions, from in-person to hybrid or remote interpreting, help ensure that all aspects, including planning, equipment, testing, and execution are taken care of.

Public Sector Remote, Video and On-site Interpreting

From a police officer who must urgently communicate in a different language to a social worker who needs to speak more easily with a non-native speaker, our simultaneous interpreting solutions, including Acolad Live, help ease communication challenges wherever and whenever they arise.


Whether through over-the-phone interpreting (OPI), video remote interpreting (VRI), or in-person we provide rapid access to specialist interpreters as and when you need them, for emergency responses, helplines, medical settings, public safety situations, and more.

"By encouraging interpreters and translators to continue their professional development we make sure we work with the best.”
