Why is Prestige Network a recognised authority in the language industry?

5 November 2008

As the population of the UK has grown ever more diverse, there has been a steady rise in the requirement for language translation services across both public and private sectors. And, over recent years, there has also been a rise in the number of companies who offer these kinds of services. However, how are organisations to measure which of these companies is an authority on the subject of languages within translation services?

 

Many judge the quality of the services offered by a company by relating it to the particular company’s longevity within its field. This is a good place to start and Prestige Network has been providing language services for almost two decades. The company’s background is rooted solidly within language technology and linguistics. This allows Prestige to offer services to company’s that would be beyond the remit of its competitors. With the growth and popularity of the internet, greater numbers of multilingual websites are inevitable and technical know how allows experts at Prestige to accurately display complex languages on web pages, taking into account all cultural nuances and characteristics.

 

Prestige Network has offices located in Cardiff, Edinburgh and London, as well as its headquarters in Thatcham, Berkshire. With access to 5,000 professional language translators and interpreters, Prestige can provide you with professional linguists wherever you are in the UK. Prestige works with many Police Forces and provides 24 hour, 7 day a week services for many of them. Prestige Network also provides professional translation services for a variety of other organisations such as Solicitors, Central Government and Local Council bodies, Charities and Commercial Businesses. Its customer base of satisfied clients is currently growing at a rate of 40%-60% per year.

 

Prestige Network can offer a range of language translation services including:

 

  • Translation Services (including Polish Translation)

This approach guarantees maintaining this high level of service and standards for years to come. Also, the owners are directors of the company and they are passionate at providing quality language services with the highest level of standards possible: Any time; Anywhere; Any language!

These are just a few of the factors that make Prestige Network an authority in the languages and translation services industry. Below is an excerpt from a report conducted by a Leading Independent Financial Analyst on Prestige.

Providing Effective Polish Language Solutions

29 October 2008

Polish WomanThe UK today is a Nation that draws great strength from its diverse population.

 

At Prestige Network, we believe in integration via equality. We provide numerous public and private sector organisations all across the UK with a variety of professional language services. In doing so, we create a forum for individuals to be understood in their native language, and also to take advantage of all the services and benefits that other UK residents are entitled to; making effective, positive integration possible.

 

Poland became a full member of the European Union in May 2004. Since then, many Polish nationals have arrived in the UK to take advantage of the higher wages paid by companies here. In order to cope with the need for language translation, language companies have found that there has been a great increase in the demand for their Polish Language Services and have had to increase their resources accordingly.

 

Prestige has taken a leading initiative with regard to providing for the needs of the growing Polish Community in the UK and has created an in-house Polish Language Support Desk with access to over 250 Polish Language specialists located right across the UK; making it possible for Prestige to meet your Polish Language needs with confidence.

Talking to the Legal Complaints Service

26 September 2008

In May, Prestige Network Business & Development Director Shawn Khorassani visited The Legal Complaints Service (LCS). Mr Khorassani travelled to their HQ in Leamington Spa to deliver a presentation on how the LCS could take advantage of the company’s language services.

Previously known as the Consumer Complaints Service (or CCS), the LCS is the independent handling body for complaints across the UK legal system.

Prestige were the only language company represented at the meeting which was centred around the topic of equal access to the LCS website for individuals for whom English isn’t their first language. A 30 minute presentation was given by Mr Khorassani on what the translation services involved and highlighting our extensive experience and excellent public sector provision.
