Peak Translations reaches new heights with prestigious award win

Peak Translations, a well-established SK-area business that supports exporters to communicate effectively in foreign markets, is celebrating winning the same prestigious award for the second time.

Based in Whaley Bridge on the edge of the Peak District, they were named Project Management Team of the Year 2022 in the annual ATC Language Industry Awards. The awards, hosted by the Association of Translation Companies, recognises and celebrates excellence in the language services profession.

The company first scooped the prestigious award in 2018. Since then, the Project Management Team has doubled in size, with one of the 2018 winners now heading up the team who was delighted to be a winner for a second time:

“It is such an honour to be part of a team that has once again been recognised for the incredible work that we carry out. I am proud to be Lead Project Manager of this fabulous team who are extremely supportive of each other in every endeavour, which I believe goes a long way to helping us do the best for our clients, as well as being happy in our work.”

The team were delighted to be announced as the winners at the gala dinner and awards ceremony held in London. The judges praised the team for their “ability to handle complex and challenging deliveries” which they described as “impressive in terms of services, number of languages and deadlines”. They went on to note that the team “displays great cohesion, and their charitable work and learning as a team also impressed”.

Peak Translations Managing Director, Helen Provart said:

“Our whole team is committed to going the extra mile for our clients and to be recognised for their hard work is extremely rewarding.

“As a relatively small team, they are required to get involved in many different areas of the business, including finance, supplier management and IT, as well as completing their Project Management tasks. They have proved to be dedicated, loyal and flexible. The team has developed a bespoke project management system to ensure every project and stage of delivery is fully understood and tasks are clearly assigned.

“I am immensely proud that they have won this prestigious award. They achieve amazing results for our clients, and it is fabulous they have received recognition from the industry and their peers for the great work they do.”
