Our mission is to become your trusted source for language services
Our founder, a seasoned linguist with 15 years of experience, is at the forefront of this goal.
Give Me Your Word grew from a sole trader to a full-service agency in 2022,
motivated by the gaps in the quality of services offered within the industry.
While translation and interpreting remain unregulated professions, our corporate membership with the ITI and accredited membership with the ATC demonstrate our commitment to upholding the highest professional standards.
As a linguist-led business, we have a thorough understanding of the industry. We ask all the right questions so you can have peace of mind knowing experts are handling your language needs.
Our linguists are at the heart of our business.
We work hard to maintain strong relationships with them, guaranteeing continuity and efficiency in all your projects. And with a network of language professionals worldwide, you won't need to go anywhere else.

What are you happiest doing when not in work?
When I'm not working, I love nothing more than spending time with my family. We love to go on long fell walks, bike rides and ending up somewhere for a big slice of cake.

PROJECT MANAGER
What are you happiest doing when not in work?
When I'm getting back to my creative roots, making my own ceramics or working in the garden with my young son, creating in his words an 'extraordinary garden'.

TRANSLATION PROJECT MANAGER
What's the most beautiful word/phrase you've learned in a foreign language?
"Dépaysement" - it is a French word that has no direct English equivalent. What I enjoy most about this word is that it has no inherent negative or positive connotation, it merely describes a sense of being somewhere foreign.
