Overview

Founded in 1980 in Leeds, UK, this organization has evolved from its origins as the Link Up Group into a leading global provider of language solutions. It offers an extensive suite of translation, localisation, interpreting, and advanced language technology services for private and public sector clients around the world.

The company delivers services such as translation and localisation for global markets, real-time interpreting, and AI-powered platforms like WordSynk for mission-oriented linguist matching. With headquarters in Leeds and offices internationally, it collaborates with over 15,000 language professionals and processes up to 50,000 transactions per day. Its core values—excellence, innovation, and trustworthiness—fuel its growth, particularly within the defence sector, and its acquisition by Susquehanna Private Capital LLC in 2021 supports its ambition to lead in technology and quality service.
