We recently responded to an emergency interpreting request from a local Maternity Department.
The call came just before 21.00 on a Sunday evening.
We provided an interpreter on site within an hour – our regular response time!
3 hours later were able to record another successful birth!
We received this lovely feedback from the parents involved:
“Hey we had a baby girl yesterday and as my wife can’t speak English the hospital arranged an interpreter. The interpreter came and we saw her a few times during my wife’s pregnancy. She is a very very lovely person. She is doing her job more than 100%! Me and my wife are sending all the best to your company and to her! Thank you very much again!”
We work regularly with Maternity Departments. We operate a very busy 24 hour emergency service. Last year this grew by 25%
