New Member of the Year
Judges’ notes: “A fantastic 2021 for Essence Translations with 30% growth.

Essence Translations has also raised their profile in the industry through active participation in industry events and volunteering for Translated in Argentina.”

Project Manager of the Year
Misha Hruby, Locaria
