London translation firm moves into Yorkshire

A growing London-headquartered translation business has decided on Sheffield for its latest base.

Today Translations is opening an office in Sheffield in May 2017, joining other businesses including Rank Group and Fragomen. It will create seven jobs with the move and Today has said it is “committed” to growing its presence in the city further.

Launched in 2001 by founder Jurga Zilinskiene, the business has 28 staff and offices in London, Europe and Latin America.

The company will be moving into Omnia at Courtwood House on Silver Street.

Claire Brown, operations manager at Today Translations, explained the reasons for choosing Sheffield: “The company directors have had a personal connection with Sheffield for some years now, and have long been impressed with the city’s vibrant and diverse business community.

“Sheffield has an advantageous central location with strong transport links to our headquarters in London as well as other major cities in the Midlands and North of England.

“Finally, with its two respected universities, and a high proportion of students choosing to remain in Sheffield after graduation, the company anticipates the availability of the robust and highly-skilled workforce we require.”

Invest Sheffield – part of Creative Sheffield, the economic development arm of Sheffield City Council – supported Today Translations with the move.

Councillor Leigh Bramall, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Business and Economy at Sheffield City Council, said: “We are delighted to welcome Today Translations to the city.

“The fact that they have recognised Sheffield’s ever-growing talent pool of graduates and workers, our exemplary office stock and the inimitable lifestyle offer that Sheffield is now renowned for is a further boost for Sheffield’s reputation as a first-class place to live, work and do business.

“We wish the team every success with the launch, development and future expansion in the city.”
