Cheadle-Hulme based translation services on track for revenues of £4 million

Cheadle-Hulme based The Translation People is on track for revenues of £4 million for its financial year to December 31, an increase of £500k million for the same period last year.

The company is used by both local and international businesses with Maxgear, a Bolton-based online retailer of cycling equipment, to translate product descriptions into French and Italian.

Maxgear director Ciaran Dunne said the translations have helped the firm’s sales on Amazon marketplaces to soar by 46% in the final quarter of this year.

Managing director of The Translation People, Steve Wilde said: “We’re delighted that our expert linguists and our advanced technology have enabled these retailers to achieve success with their overseas customers.

“The internet makes retail exports much easier, yet to truly capitalise on this opportunity, translating product descriptions, marketing and social media material is essential.

“Our ability to work in a variety of different content formats, and to respond quickly to customer requirements, is especially beneficial in the dynamic retail sector.

“We see retail as a key market for The Translation People in the coming years as e-commerce increasingly breaks down international trade barriers.”
