Comments from the day

•     "I just want to express my thanks for organising this event; I am very grateful that I could attend this very useful and informative day. I learned a lot and made some very useful contacts. All the speakers were excellent, providing information extremely relevant to my area of work."
•     "I found the presentations and ensuing discussions very interesting and informative and outright passionate!"
•     "I look forward to updates and any future seminars on this and similar topics."
•     "I attended the conference on Interpreting and translation services and would like to say a big thank you for organising this event. It was extremely informative and enlightening and was well organised."
•     "This has been well organised and really inspirational, thank you."
•     "It’s been great to meet so many people across the sector.  The workshops were really interesting and so were the main discussions."
•     "It was a rare opportunity for me to meet in one place commissioning professionals, procurement representatives and small businesses specialising in providing interpreting and translation services across England. It was apparent that commissioners did not fully understand the procurement role and procurement looked puzzled by the commissioners’ approach to the market place. Furthermore, it was obvious small interpretation and translation services providers were dissatisfied with the many obstacles to access public contracts."
