About Kwintessential
Kwintessential was established in 2003 by three partners keen to support the process of globalization and internationalization. The company began by offering language lessons, cultural awareness training, translation and interpreting. Within two years the company had become a success and its services expanded to encompass further key products such as website design, desk top publishing, conference interpreting management, transcription and much more.
Having started off in Croydon, Surrey the company is based in beautiful Somerset, with a supporting office in London. Kwintessential has expanded to now cater for the African, North American and South American markets with offices located in Cape Town, Buenos Aires and California. Each location as well as offering the core services of translation and interpreting also specialise in new areas such as multilingual call centre outsourcing (in the USA) and multilingual subtitling (in South Africa).
Neil Payne, the company’s Managing Director, maintains and hands-on approach to the business ensuring the company maintains its reputation as a one that offers the personal touch. “We have a simple vision - to offer top-quality multilingual services across the globe which allows our clients to get what they want, when they want and how they want,” explains Neil.
The company is also in the process of launching offices in Turkey, India and Australia by the end of 2009.
