Business Language Services is delighted to announce that project manager Joseph Smith has been named a finalist in the Young Professional of the Year category at the Association of Translation Companies (ATC) Language Industry Awards.
In his three years at the company, Joseph has been recognised for his commitment to high-quality client delivery across the business, earning him the nickname of the company’s ‘details man’. It’s this attention to the small but important things, along with strong organisational skills and a willingness to take on new challenges, that have made him such a valued member of the team.
Alongside his skill at managing multilingual projects, Joseph has shown that he is adept at improving internal workflows through careful research and practical problem solving, contributing to key projects as well as wider business initiatives. He has been pivotal in developing the company’s website and communications, demonstrating the breadth of his skills beyond day-to-day project management. His costings sheet for multilingual quotes, complete with formulae to speed up the process, is the go-to for his colleagues. And his document on global requirements for certified translations is a goldmine of information for colleagues and clients alike.
The range of resources that Joseph has created help colleagues work more efficiently and deliver an even better service to clients. His thoughtful approach and consistent reliability have made a genuine difference across the business.
“We’re incredibly proud to see Joseph recognised as a well-deserved finalist,” said Rhys Thomas, MD at Business Language Services. “He is an outstanding project manager, an excellent linguist, and someone who approaches every task with care and professionalism. This nomination reflects the impact he has on our team every day; it’s thoroughly deserved.”
The winners of the ATC Language and Industry Awards 2026 will be announced later this year. Everyone at Business Language Services wishes Joseph the very best of luck.
