What is LanguageBridge™?
LanguageBridge™ is simply Consecutive

able communicate by telephone.

150 languages.
• Fast - connects you to a qualified interpreter in seconds.
• Reliable & professional – fully automated system ensures
maximum speed & efficiency.
• Impartial and confidential - complete confidentiality and unbiased
approach.
• Cost-efficient - No recurring costs, billed by the minute so
you only pay for what you use.
Especially suitable for:
1. Making and receiving phone calls where language support is required.
2. 'First contact' scenarios where the non-English speaker is with you.
3. Discussions with overseas customers & suppliers.
4. Routine enquiries, bookings or cancellations.
5. Urgent, emergency or unexpected language-impeded scenarios.

7 days a week. Within just seconds you’ll be connected to a fully

services, we use fully qualified interpreters based in the UK. Only
in exceptional circumstances and with your prior permission will we
