Peter Brabazon and Andrew Rowley had a great day in Exeter yesterday at the UKTI "ExploreExport" event held at the University. As anticipated the event was well attended by suppliers and delegates alike and we certainly received many good enquiries for both our Telephone Interpreting service as well as the traditional translation service provided by Transatlantic Translations. Exhibitors and delegates who have a presence in overseas markets where language is a potential barrier to entry were very interested in "on demand" telephone interpreting. Every UKTI representative I talked to certainly extolled the importance of "making the effort" with languages generally. If you do not make the effort to overcome the language barrier then, despite English being commonly spoken, it is true to say that an important opportunity is being missed.
As a footnote, one thing I had not expected to see yesterday was Simon Woodroffe - Keynote speaker for the event - singing a song he wrote himself for which the music was composed by The Blockheads of Ian Dury and The Blockheads fame! All about his YO! businesses. Post the following link into your browser to see an earlier recording of the song:

It never surprises me as to what you'll see at an exhibition.
