David Orr, Global Connects Director, said, “we are obviously very pleased to have had our tender accepted for every Lot that we entered. It is testament to the very hard work of our team and the leadership of Fiona Woodford, our Head of Language Services, especially during this last year when the global pandemic has had such an impact on every area of businesses. I am pleased to say that despite the challenges of Covid, our language businesses have continued working successfully throughout and as such we are well placed to hit the ground running as work from this new CSS framework hits our agency.”
