New accreditation for Bla

09/2023

It is all go here at Bla Translation HQ as we announce our success in being awarded the formal ‘Cynnig Cymraeg’ accreditation from the Welsh Language Commissioner.

As a translation company, the Welsh language is a fundamental aspect of our lives and livelihood. What this particular accreditation demonstrates is our unwavering commitment to our beautiful native language and bilingualism in business in Wales!

Some of our clients have already embarked on this ‘Cynnig Cymraeg’ journey, and have also been recognised by the Commissioner, and so we’d like to congratulate you all! We’re so proud to be part of your Welsh journey, we genuinely love working with our clients.

If you would like further information with regards to the ‘Cynnig Cymraeg’ and how we at Bla may help you along that journey, feel free to contact Anna via anna@bla-translation.co.uk.

Birthday bash for Bla

09/2023

We have had a period of reflection and celebration at Bla HQ on the proud occasion of our tenth year in business!

Alun developed the business from his spare room and he now employs ten local people, providing services to a whole host of clients in Wales and beyond.

Celebrating a decade in business is an amazing achievement, especially so considering the challenges we have all faced in recent times, such as COVID-19.

Our thanks go to every single one of our lovely clients, whom we have forged great working relationships and friendships with over the years – we simply couldn’t have done it without you!

Cheers to ten years!

Thirsty work

Translating is thirsty work, so this water cooler comes in very handy in our office. Thanks to Gary at Nant y Mynydd for supplying us with fresh, cool and tasty water. We’re ready for a heatwave!
