The establishment of Absolute Interpreting and Translations Ltd, a leading UK based international language service provider, delivering, amongst other services, high-quality and professional interpreting and translation solutions. The Management of the Company has been providing world-class interpreting and translation services for the United Nations since 1998 well before Absolute Interpreting and Translations Ltd was formed in the UK in 2007.

Following our expansion from our Birmingham Offices, it became imperative to recruit additional members of staff to support the demand for our services across the UK, so we started our sales and customer service operations in London and Manchester, and Essex.

In the same year of trading in 2007, we became a member of the ATC (Association of Translation Companies). This highlights how we are registered as a certified, accredited, and elite language service provider, assuring our clients of what they already knew; that we would not compromise on the quality of our services.

In early 2008, just only a year after trading in the UK, having gone through a robust and intensive tender, evaluation, and assessment exercise, Absolute Interpreting and Translations Ltd was proudly entrusted by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) and awarded a place on the MoJ Interpreting and Translation Services Contract, allowing them to provide their pivotal services in over 300 languages.

From early 2007, proudly won our first NHS Contract with Sandwell Primary Care now known as BCPFT and our first Local Authority Contract with Solihull MBC and Sandwell MBC, and soon after several other NHS and Local Authority contracts across the UK, allowing us to provide crucial medical services in over 300 languages.

In 2008, we received our first ISO (International Organization for Standardization) certificate, accrediting our quality management system. This assured all of our clients that their requests would be handled in an organised and competent manner, leading to flawless results.

In 2009, we became a network member of the EU ATC (European Union Association of Translation Companies), this means Absolute started trading globally since 2009.

In 2009, we introduced our Apprenticeship and Internship Programme to help the Government’s initiative to provide employment opportunities to young people and to support prospective translation and interpreting apprentices to climb the ladder into the professional translation and interpreting industry.

In 2015, we also became certified and accredited by ISO27001 Information Security Management System standards for digital security, assuring both our clients and our employees that all of their data is kept safe and secure.

On 11^th May 2020, we were certified as a Disability Confident Committed Employer. This recognition not only reflects our diversity, but it also signifies how we are actively part of the movement that encourages employers and businesses to improve their recruitment and retention of employees with disabilities.

Being Cyber Essentials certified, Absolute’s clients can rest assured that their data is in safe hands. Cyber Essentials is a simple but effective, Government backed scheme that protects Absolute against a range of common cyber attacks.

Already having strict cyber-security measures in place, Absolute is happy to report that they have been NHS Digital accredited. This shows that Absolute complies with the strict data protection rules and measures that the NHS sets for their service providers.
