RPSI Linguist Lounge reports that on 2nd December, the Oldham Evening Chronicle published an apology to NRPSI interpreters on Page 2 of that day’s edition.
The apology is reproduced below.
It would appear that since publication of the original article, journalists at the Chronicle have learned the actual meaning of the word ‘cartel’.
Oldham is the home town of Gavin Wheeldon, the founder of Advanced Language Solutions (ALS) which was subsequently sold to Capita and renamed Capita Translation & Interpreting. The latter is currently presiding over the fiasco commonly known as the Ministry of Justice framework agreement for courts and tribunals interpreting (posts passim).
