We hope that this article can inspire fellow entrepreneurs and professionals. Remember, we started small too!
Our founder, Mebrak Ghebreweldi, facing the challenges of single parenthood and financial instability, started working in the development of a translation agency in the late 90s. After six months, she had 30 linguists covering 16 languages. Within a year, Mebrak's dedication bore fruit—she no longer required housing benefits, as her translation firm flourished into Vandu Languages, a family-run business based in Sussex, with clients across the UK and abroad, and over 1200 linguists.
Our interpreting services include video interpreting, community interpreting, conference interpreting and telephone/remote interpreting.
We also provide translation services across a wide range of sectors including Healthcare, Digital Marketing, Education, Financial Services, Insurance, Government, Travel, Legal, and Business, to name just a few.
And not to forget our Health and Social Care Bilingual Advocacy services for vulnerable individuals and ethnic minorities that require extra support to access the UK healthcare system, allowing them to become more independent step-by-step.
