Global Voices UK is an international translation and interpretation company which was launched in 2004 and has worked on over 20,000 projects.

History
Global Voices was launched in by Luigi Koechlin who at the age of 30, had a passion to create his own company.

The company was established in 2004 with it's head office at Scion House, Innovation Park in Stirling.

Being brought up in an entrepreneurial family with all his family being self employed, starting up his own business seemed natural for Luigi; "Being my own boss was a natural step for me and I had already had some success with other ventures."

Present Day
The organisation now employs around 30 members of permanent staff and has a network of around 3,000 linguists around the world speaking 140 different languages. The services range from translation to interpretation services for both the public and private sectors. The company has now been running for 10 years and operates from a number of registered offices around the world as Luigi explains: "For us, deciding to internationalise our business was never going to be an option, it was a must. Over a decade later we continue to drive the business forward with a very international focus."

Awards and Certifications
Over the years, Global Voices have gained recognition for their work and high quality. In 2012 the company received recognition from the Investors in People who said that "Your organisation is both relatively young, and relatively small, but the business gave me the impression of being very well managed, exceptionally structured in its’ systems and processes, and staffed by a highly motivated group of capable people” . The company was then given the ISO 9001:2008 Certification
