About

Who we are

Luke started WtW in 2008 to work with clients outside of his own language pairs. Orders soon started coming in from banks and freight companies (OK, Barclays and DHL!), and an increasing number of calls from London-based creative agencies to work on their retail campaigns.

Since those days we have worked with law firms, schools, construction and engineering firms, UKTI, Saatchi&Saatchi, and many more.

As we approach the 10 year mark, we now aim to grow our client base locally, to become known as the East Midlands translation firm.

Who we work with

We work closely with our network of association approved linguists, from the CIoL and the ITI primarily, who are selected for domain experience and native language. Luke himself has been a member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists since 2009, and keeps an eye on changes in the industry every working day.
