About CIUK
Organising an international conference, a multilingual business meeting, a European Works Council or a face-to-face encounter?
You need Conference Interpreters UK who work at senior level with government and business figures all over the UK and abroad, covering all mainstream conference languages such as French, German, Italian, Arabic, Russian and Spanish, together with Polish, Japanese, Chinese and other more exotic languages.
Why choose Conference Interpreters UK?
Because all its members belong to the International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC), which means that they have met stringent admission requirements involving peer sponsorship and evaluation and a strict code of ethics and confidentiality. AIIC negotiates working conditions and standards with the UN and EU.
“Conference Interpreters UK has provided us with world-class support with an interpreter who has received personal praise from Governors of Federal Subjects of Russia, the President of Iceland and the BBC”

How does Conference Interpreters UK operate?
- CIUK is run by AIIC interpreters on behalf of their colleagues. We are a non-profit-making company, not an agency
- We are a one-stop-shop where you can discuss all your language requirements with working interpreters. We will advise you on which type of interpreting you need – simultaneous, consecutive or whispering – and help you set up a team and source the right equipment.
- We do not only deal with large meetings. Quality is essential whatever the size of the meeting.
