EUROPE’S LARGEST INDEPENDENT PROVIDER OF ACCESS & TRANSLATION SERVICES CELEBRATES ITS 20TH BIRTHDAY.

On 1st November 1989 Independent Media Support began trading from a small Soho office. Back then, we had about 10 employees, some of whom are still with us today, and a passion for helping our customers reach their full audience potential. Things have changed a lot since then and we’re now a multi-national business with an ever-increasing range of diverse media- support services. But the essence of what we do hasn’t changed. We remove the barriers of language and disability to help connect people with the stories that inform, inspire and entertain them. So we’d like to use this milestone as an opportunity to sincerely thank our customers, employees and business partners for their incredible support so far, and to look forward to the next 20 years of REACHING EVERYONE together!
