Our Story

After graduating in Spanish And Media from Leeds University in 2004, Ciarán Simpson embarked on a career in translation and interpreting. Since then, he has worked as a translator and interpreter across multiple sectors, interpreting at conferences across Europe and on public sector assignments in the UK. 

He also specialises in sports and has interpreted at press conferences for professional football clubs in the UK, including Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United. 

Away from football, he regularly features as a Spanish<>English interpreter in the world of boxing on live boxing broadcasts for Matchroom Boxing and DAZN in the UK, US and Mexico.

Ciarán set up The Lingo in 2016. The aim was to collaborate with like-minded linguists who are specialists in their fields. Since then, the Lingo have provided language support at international conferences and events and translated documents and digital content into over 50 languages.
