Fast growing Translation Company opens new Chicago office

As part of Applied Language Solutions ongoing strategy to globally expand, this month they celebrate the opening of their second US office, in Chicago. Applied Language Solutions, one of the leading providers of Translation Services, has announced the opening of a new office in Chicago, USA. The increasing global demand for the Company's Translation and Interpreting services along with the large volume of sales over the past twelve months has resulted in the company’s further US expansion.

Chief Executive, Gavin Wheeldon has high hopes for the new office. He said, “In today's

business world, more and more companies are realising that communicating in their customer's language is pivotal to their success in the global trading arena.” He continued, “The opening of the new Chicago office will provide crucial support to Applied Language's global sales and will greatly strengthen our position as an International language services provider.”

The Company was set up in October 2003 by entrepreneur Gavin Wheeldon. Over the last 4 years it has grown from a one-man operation into a multi-million Global Company with a 90-strong team. The office in Chicago is now the ninth Applied Language office opened since it was first set up. With now 9 offices worldwide, in Huddersfield, California, Paris, Barcelona, Sofia, Guatemala City, Hong Kong, Chicago and Chennai, the Translation Company has experienced great expansion at a phenomenal rate.

Gavin Said, “We have a firm commitment this year to further develop Applied Language’s presence in the US. Our Head of Sales, Richard Stangroom has played an instrumental role in that commitment, while spending October and November out working with the new and existing teams.
