Cheadle Hulme's The Translation People on course to achieve record sales of £4 million

The Translation People has receive more than £500k of new business, putting the company on course for a record year.

The translation and language services provider, which has its headquarters in Cheadle Hulme, Greater Manchester, has seen demand surge as more and more companies focus on their global operations and driving export-led growth.

Major new customers this year include Microsoft, Heinz, Jaguar Land Rover, Warburtons, Etihad Airways, Balfour Beatty, Experian and insurance giant ACE Group.

The Translation People, which has four UK offices and operations in Paris, Bonn and the US city of Boston, is on track to achieve sales of £4 million in the year to December 31, up from £3.5 million in 2013.

Overseas sales now account for 43% of overall revenues, up from 39% a year ago, boosted by 27% revenue growth across France and Germany, the firm’s fastest-growing foreign markets.

Steve Wilde, managing director of The Translation People, said: “We have continued to reap the benefits of our clients’ ongoing focus on global business, which we support by assisting with their multi-lingual requirements.

“The business is increasingly being viewed as a leading European translation agency, rather than purely a UK company.

“Our expertise is increasingly being sought by companies from other continents seeking to break into European markets.

“As we now offer an increased number of language combinations, such as Japanese into German, we are able to attract a wider range of companies from different countries.

“We aim to continue in this vein to strengthen our position even further in 2015.”
