TTC Language Services Ltd, a leading translation and localisation company, is delighted to announce moving their offices from current base in New London Road to Broomfield Road in Chelmsford.

Close to the town centre and the regeneration of Chelmsford’s West End, the new site also offers excellent transport links to the M11 and M25 motorways.

TTC has experienced significant growth recently and has also increased employee numbers. With this in mind, management has decided to expand operations by moving to a larger site.

The new site is a two storey building and offers a greater amount of space for TTC to operate their services. It will feature a large open plan area, several offices and a dedicated space for clients to meet with project managers. The site has been completely redeveloped both externally and internally and offers top of the range facilities to its clients and staff.

It is another exciting phase in TTC’s history as the company goes from strength to strength. They look forward to working with you in the new premises, whilst continuing to provide high quality language solutions at cost effective prices – two attributes of TTC’s approach to business.

The TTC Language Services team will be taking part in the London to Southend bike ride on Sunday 9^th July to raise money for The British Heart foundation. The 59 mile ride will take place through the quiet lanes and villages of South Essex with riders setting off at Victoria Park, Tower Hamlets between 7.30 and 9.15 am.

TTC Language Services Ltd took part in the annual Race for Business held on Wednesday 7^th June in Chelmsford. This year’s race, hosted by Wollastons, was held to raise money for the Helen Rollason Heal Cancer charity. The race comprised of 1,800 runners in over 200 teams and was started by The Lord Coe KBE, the Olympic winning athlete, who was also in charge of London’s successful bid for the Olympics in 2012.

TTC have been entering teams in the race for the last few years and seven members of the staff completed the 3 ½ mile course. The evening proved a huge success with thousands of pounds being raised for charity. Whilst perhaps not achieving record times that Sebastian Coe was used to, the team did themselves proud and recorded competitive times.

TTC's Managing Director Levent Yildizgoren attended the Conference which was held in Barcelona between 30^th May and 1^st June, 2006. The event, produced in co-operation with GALA, had over 375 registrants from 32 countries. The conference sessions were geared towards professionals seeking to learn about new tools, methods and business practices in the areas of localisation and internationalisation.

The conference presented TTC Language Services Ltd with a number of different opportunities including talking to industry experts and making valuable business contacts, researching new technologies and meeting new vendors.

TTC Language Services have been working with NicoBloc in helping them launch their gradual reduction method to help millions of people quit smoking. NicoBloc, a new innovative stop smoking aid has recently been launched in the UK. TTC have translated NicoBlocs information packs, press releases and adverts into Spanish, Japanese, Thai, Portuguese, German, Italian and Arabic.

"I found TTC via the internet when I needed some translation work done very quickly. My requirement was quite challenging which was to translate some brochures from Spain, Portugal and Thailand, first into English and then into Japanese.

TTC were able to turn this around very quickly and even the original authors in Spain commented on how accurately the translators had captured the essence of the piece.

Working with TTC was problem-free; needless to say we have since engaged them for further work which has included them assessing various foreign speakers for suitability for a multi-language DVD as well as translating the DVD menus into seven different languages.

I would recommend any company to consider using TTC's services if they are looking for a quick, flexible, professional and cost effective translation service."

TTC Language Services exhibited this April between 7^th and 9^th at ExCel London. As well as promoting the Translation Services as we did last year, we launched our new Language Tuition service (see next news item)
