Roy Allkin, Co-founder of Wolfestone, has been elected Chair of the National Council of the Association of Translation Companies (ATC), making him the youngest person to hold the position in the organisation’s history.
The announcement reflects Wolfestone’s growing influence in the language services industry across the globe.
This achievement follows just two years after Wolfestone became the youngest company ever invited to join the ATC’s National Council. Allkin’s rapid rise to Chair is a significant milestone for both him and the business, reinforcing the company’s position as a leader in professional translation and localisation services.
The Association of Translation Companies is the UK’s principal trade body for translation service providers. Member companies must meet rigorous standards and agree to a strict code of conduct to join.
In his role as Chair, Allkin recently represented the UK at the European Union of Associations of Translation Companies (EUATC) meeting in London. He also chaired the ATC’s Annual General Meeting and Conference, themed "Evolution of the Translation Industry: Planning for Success", where he presented the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award to both outgoing Chair Liz Robertson and former Chair John Lord.
A Wolfestone spokesperson commented:
“Roy’s appointment as Chair of the ATC is a proud moment for the entire team. It recognises the exceptional growth and professionalism of our company. Being represented at the EUATC by one of our own is further evidence of the progress we’re making and the value we bring to the industry.”
As Wolfestone’s profile continues to grow, the company remains committed to offering high-quality, cost-effective translation services to clients in the UK and around the world.
