Cheshire Constabulary

Service:	24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year
Language:	All including British Sign Language
Location:	Cheshire
Sector:	Police
Date:	January 2008

Aim:

To provide interpreting services to this busy police force, often at very short notice, to assist with any written translation needs as may be required on regular or ad hoc basis.

Project Outline:

Global Solutions Ltd required an interpreting service to provide support to the police force. As the work of the police force is extremely time sensitive, their requirement involves short turn around time between the request and the interpreter turning up on site.

As part of the contract Prestige Network's operators are required to fulfil bookings in less than 8 hours' notice. In more than 90% of cases we are on location within 2 hours.

Prestige Network is the only provider in the UK who can cover all regions at short notice. Local service providers often don’t operate beyond their local boundaries and as such our level of service is unrivalled.

Prestige says: "Prestige Network has now completed the 3 month trial period, and has proven that it can carry out a successful recruitment campaign in order to fulfil up to 100% of the requirement.

"We are now operating a year long contract with a provision for extension for providing language services. "

Customer Feedback:

The customer is happy with the services that are being currently provided and the interpreters are professional and efficient.
