Peer learning at its peak

Support Accessed:

• Peer Networks
• Fully funded webinars and workshops

Peak Translations Ltd is a business with a 45-year standing in translation and interpreting services. Offering support to businesses looking to grow in overseas markets and to communicate in different languages effectively and precisely.

“When you’re the MD, everyone expects you to know all the answers! That’s clearly not the case and East Midlands Combined County Authority’s Peer Networks have been such a wealth of information to tap into. I know my Digital Marketing Assistant, Emily, has found the East Midlands Combined County Authority marketing workshops equally as useful. Overall, it gives me the reassurance that we are keeping up to date with the latest trends and are learning from the experiences of others.”
