I would highly recommend PLS as an interpreter since 2018, to all interpreters and professionals out there. Don’t hesitate to reach out to fill the language gaps.

Genuinely just a really poor company…

Genuinely just a really poor company all round. Badly managed. It's a shame.

Edit: It's quite interesting that you seem to imply that you know who I am in that first paragraph and yet, state that you have no record of me later. But no, you're all good, I'd quite frankly rather never be in contact with any of you again. Goodbye!

The thing is John, we are a good company who do manage efficiently. However, it is a shame that we sometimes have to part company with collaborators who cannot meet our high standards of work.

Incidentally, we have no recollection of working with a "John" on 1st April, so we are unsure of where this has come from. If you’d like to discuss your concerns in more detail or provide additional insights, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly. Please feel free to reach out to us at info@givemeyourword.co.uk at your convenience.

I have worked for Lauren and the team at GMYW on a few occasions now and find them to be friendly, professional and appreciative of my work, which I always enjoy. Payment is always on time and at a fair rate. I look forward to working with GMYW again soon!

Small, friendly team

I have worked for GMYW on a few occasions, and I found them to be a friendly team who appreciate the work that their linguists do. I have always been paid on time and at a fair rate. All contact I have had with the team has been pleasant and professional. I am always happy to work with them.

Very professional and ethical team

I have been both a client and a work collaborator. I have been working with them for years and have seen the company develop from a one-person company to what it is today. I have also seen the efforts to make the company always more professional, ethical and efficient. They have always paid on time, or kept me informed if there was any issue with the payment.
The staff is highly professional and keen to help if you have any question or issue.

A highly professional company that is committed to delivering top-quality language services

I have been translating and transcribing for Give Me Your Word for several years now, and I would highly recommend them to any fellow translator or interpreter who is looking for more work, or to any prospective client who requires language services. All of our communication has been clear and professional, it is abundantly clear that quality is their no. 1 priority based on the instructions and feedback provided, and they also pay well and in good time. I've also had the pleasure of meeting Lauren, the company's director, in person at a French translation event in Birmingham, and I must say that she's not only a pleasure to work with and knows the language services industry inside out, but is also a genuine, down-to-earth person. Therefore, working with GMYW as a translator or interpreter, or entrusting them with your language services needs as a client, is a no-brainer.

Responsive, friendly, interesting work and prompt payment

I have been working with Give Me Your Word as a translator, formatter and contract PM since the start of the year, and I have been very impressed with our collaboration. The GMYW team is very responsive and pleasant to work with, and payment has been extremely prompt. I have also known the Director, Lauren Shadi, professionally for many years through her own work as a linguist – she has always shown personal and professional integrity and a keen focus on producing high-quality work.

Interpreting Agency that Cares about Interpreters

One of the best interpreting and translation agencies that I have worked for during my 15+ years of being freelance interpeter/translator. They offer fair rates and always pay on time. I have never had any issues whatsoever regarding assignments such as being given the wrong location of the booking or not being informed of client cancelling the booking last minute. The director of the company is an interpreter herself and she always treats her fellow interpreters in the way that she would like to be treated.

One of the best in the field

I have been working with Givemeyourword as an interpreter for almost 2 years. I have never had any issues with receiving payments, I have been always paid fairly and swiftly. GMYW is one of the only few good translation companies that still focusing on quality rather than just profit and give interpreters priority and treat them fairly. I highly recommend GMYW every time.

An excellent company to work with

I have been working with GMYW for over a year and have had nothing but positive experiences.
Lauren Shadi and her team are very professional and approachable. They are always available to help with any queries and payments have always been made on time.
I have been working in this industry since 2016, and I can honestly say that they are one of the very few agencies that pay a fear rate.

Linguist Ahlam Alsulaiman -Bull

GMYW stands out as one of the premier language service providers I've had the pleasure of working with. The entire staff is highly experienced and professional. GMYW's commitment to fair and timely payment for all linguists is commendable. Lauren Shadi, the founder of the organisation, exemplifies dedication by tirelessly working to expand its services. Her meticulous hard work ensures top-notch quality in every aspect. I wholeheartedly recommend GMYW to professionals and organisations seeking translation, proofreading, or interpreting services, including face-to-face, telephone, and video interpreting.
