Our Story
Established in 1990 in the historic market town of Abergavenny, Business Language Services Ltd. (BLS) has become one of the leading language service providers in Wales. The company initially focused on delivering tailored language training programmes to both individuals and companies throughout Wales. The quality and bespoke nature of our training packages quickly gained recognition, attracting delegates from the UK and overseas who sought our expertise.
As demand for our services grew, we recognised the need to expand our provision of language services with the addition of translation and interpreting. These new branches of the business flourished, complementing our existing language training programmes and contributing to our continued success.
In March 2010, due to our continuous growth and the increasing demand for translation, interpreting and training services, we made the strategic decision to relocate our head office to Cardiff, the vibrant capital city of Wales. This move allowed us to better serve our expanding customer base and remain at the forefront of the language services industry.
BLS went from strength to strength over a decade at The Cottages in Cardiff, and the hard work of our dedicated team was reflected in impressive year-on-year growth. This success allowed us to expand our talented workforce, and highlighted the need for a more bespoke and modern workspace that would align with our dynamic plans for future growth and development.
We were delighted to make the move to our new bespoke office at the beginning of 2020. Carefully designed to meet our exact requirements, our state-of-the-art premises represents an exciting new chapter in BLS’s story. Situated in a prime location within Cardiff city centre, close to the National Museum, our office is easily accessible for our customers, ensuring even greater convenience and accessibility, and even offering on-site parking.
Our new office serves as the perfect testament to our growth and expertise. We continue to provide exceptional language services and remain at the forefront of new technology and industry changes. We are committed to delivering top-level translation, interpreting and language training services to our valued clients in Wales and across the world. Business Language Services Ltd. looks forward to embarking on a vibrant and prosperous future.
