The Brightlines Story – How It All Began At Brightlines Translation

Who we are

A multilingual translation services agency, Brightlines Translation was born back in 1999. We work closely with businesses of all shapes and sizes; many global brands you will know, and lots of great niche brands you might not.

How it all began

It’s the mid nineteen nineties, Josian meets Neil. They share an interest for international business, design and typography. Brightlines Translation is founded, to assure clarity of communication in any language.

Josian Phillips was a scientist at Public Health England. Becoming increasingly involved in international conferences and marketing, she became fascinated by the challenge of global communication.

Neil Gauld then running a design company that partnered with international advertising agencies, works with Josian by chance, on an international marketing project. The pair are recommended to a leading Norwegian ad agency.

Their first order? A 46 language translation project for the Norwegian government. The rest, as they say, is history.
