We've been awarded Outstanding Employer!

We have won Outstanding Employer 2021 in the Yorkshire Post’s Excellence in Business Awards – the UK’s largest and most prestigious regional newspaper. We were also finalists in two other categories: Business Leader of the Year (our CEO Carolyn Johnson) and Best Company with a Turnover under £10m.

We picked up the award at a celebratory dinner on November 24 at the Queens Hotel in Leeds.

We were also finalists in three categories in the Hull Daily Mail Business Awards: Diversity & Inclusion, Apprentice of the Year (Anzelika Gzibovska) and Business of the Year (up to 50 employees).

This is on the back of being awarded the UK’s 3^rd Best Workplace for Women from Great Places to Work during the Summer and our managing director Lloyd Tidder being named one of the Humber Region’s Top 30 under 30 in the Spring. He attended the Covid-delayed celebration event on October 29 with some colleagues and says it was fantastic.

While we’re buzzing from all the recognition we’re receiving, it is important to say that the pandemic put a lot of pressure on staff and linguists as demand surged from clients, both existing and new. We all pulled together and ensured we could deliver vital services while the mental and physical health of employees, interpreters and customers remained a priority.

Lloyd Tidder said: “It’s been an incredible example of teamwork under extreme pressure, so we are all feeling very proud of being recognised in these awards. Language is Everything’s head office team doubled in size along with our turnover, and we continue to recruit and develop our services as we look to the future after this exceptional year.”
