The Comtec team were delighted to receive a commendation for the Innovator of the Year 2025. Our team had worked tirelessly throughout 2025 to launch Pronto, our self-service AI translation tool, and to strategically align our suite of technology solutions with shifting market demands. At a time of great change, and we couldn’t be prouder of Dan H, Mark, Dan J and the whole Comtec team for their efforts, and we thank the ATC for this recognition.

“Being commended Project Management Team of the Year (Global Lingo eLearning Project Management Division) was especially meaningful because of how we achieved it, together. Over the past year and a half, I’ve watched our team navigate genuine complexity, from tight timelines and shifting scopes to early-stage AI tools and increasing market pressure, and consistently respond with steadiness, creativity, and trust in one another.

What I’m most proud of is the team’s constant commitment to each other and to our clients. Whether mentoring new project managers, piloting AI enabled workflows without an established playbook, or taking on additional scope to protect client relationships, the team consistently rose to the challenge while maintaining our standards. That culture made it possible to deliver at scale without compromising quality or empathy.

This award recognizes that shared mindset, a team that is curious, resilient, and deeply committed to doing right by both our clients and one another. I’m grateful to be part of it.”
-Melania Dimisca, Team Leader

“Talk about a shock! I was completely overwhelmed at the ATC Awards ceremony in Manchester last year when my company Avocate Legal and Business French Interpreting and Translation Services won the 2025 ATC Best Newcomer Commendation! Having only joined ATC a few months earlier this award was entirely unexpected!

The aftermath was an explosion of congratulations on social media from colleagues and clients both here in the UK and elsewhere – all very motivational for me personally and great for promoting my business as a serious player in the global language services market. I couldn’t have dreamt up better marketing had I tried!”

Sue Leschen, Owner of Avocate Legal and Business French Interpreting and Translation Services Ltd
