BREXIT? BRING IT ON, Says Language Guru Larry Gould
LONDON, UK (PRWEB UK) 15 May 2018 -- Language services provider thebigword is exhibiting at Going Global Live, a leading trade show for businesses that are looking to expand internationally, export products or set up overseas operations.
The Leeds-based business is Europe’s largest provider of interpreting services and supplies translations for many of the world’s biggest and best known brands.
Larry Gould, founder and chief executive of thebigword, passionately believes that language is the final barrier to trade and sees Britain’s departure from the European Union as a big opportunity for British businesses.
He said: “I didn’t vote for Brexit but bring it on. We British do best when our backs are against the wall because it brings out our bulldog spirit.
“We want to help British businesses sell their goods and services into new international markets and that is why we are appearing at Going Global Live.
“Many Britons don’t realise how highly respected we are across the world. This is a golden chance to increase sales and profits and bring in a new era of competitiveness.”
Going Global Live promises to provide businesses with everything they need to know about trading in some of the world’s most lucrative cities, countries and regions.
Taking place at ExCeL London on May 16-17, the event features keynote speakers including think tank chief Peter Wilding, the man who coined the term ‘Brexit’, and experts on global logistics, foreign direct investment, international law and foreign exchange.
Mr Gould founded thebigword in 1980 after spotting a gap in the market for language services while on a trade mission to the former Soviet Union.
Today, the group is one of the fastest growing of its kind in the UK and is on course for turnover of £80m this year, of which £20m comes from international sales.
