Atlas Translations – Translation Agencies UK

Atlas Translations recently turned 29 years old! We are one of many translation agencies in the UK, however we stand out from the crowd, putting people at the heart of our business. Our staff, our clients and our freelancers are incredibly important and communication is key: talking, understanding each other and working together to ensure the best results.

Our ethos, our attitude, our passion and customer care mean that people stay with Atlas Translations. One of our very first clients (a record company) is still with us almost thirty years on. Our business is all about our clients from solicitors, race horse trainers and cycle helmet manufacturers to software companies, universities and charities.

Atlas Translations In The Beginning

Atlas Translations started as a small translations agency in 1991, in a tiny room above a bank in Cambridge. In 1995 new offices opened in London’s Covent Garden which became our HQ until we moved to the more serene locations of St Albans and Exeter.

Along the way we backed up our fast, efficient and friendly service with ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 17100 specifically for translation work. Guaranteed, certified and delivered fast, with a smile.

Trust and Confidence

As a translation agency much of our work is urgent and deadlines are our priority. Confidentiality is also respected and we sign Non-Disclosure Agreements for peace of mind. Each client has a dedicated project manager who ensures that every project runs smoothly and to time.
