In just over three years, Gavin has driven his highly successful translation and interpretation business into an international operation with sales of £3.7 million, despite not being able to speak any foreign tongues. What was once a one-man business operating in his back bedroom is now an award-winning company, having been short listed for the NatWest Startups Awards in 2006 amongst other prestigious accolades. The company now boasts 70 staff and 8 offices worldwide, including Huddersfield, California, Barcelona, Paris, Bulgaria and Guatemala, and are proud to serve big named brands, such as Robbie Williams, United Nations and Nike.
