We’re thrilled to announce that thebigword has been shortlisted as a finalist in two major categories at the 2025 ATC Language Industry Awards: Company of the Year and Innovator of the Year (Spyros Spyrou – Technology Director at thebigword) 

These nominations are a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and impact in the language services sector. 

We’re especially proud of Spyros Spyrou, who has been nominated for Innovator of the Year. Spyros’s visionary thinking and passion for technological advancement have propelled thebigword’s service offerings into new territory, helping to bridge language gaps with cutting-edge solutions that make a real difference. 

On his nomination Spyros said: “It’s an honour to be shortlisted for Innovator of the Year. In the language industry, innovation isn’t just about technology – it’s about ensuring that every person, regardless of language, can be understood when it matters most: in hospitals, courtrooms, or moments of crisis. I’m proud to help build products that make that possible.”  

The Association of Translation Companies (ATC) Language Industry Awards celebrate the companies and individuals shaping the future of language services. Being recognised among the best in the industry is an honour, and a powerful validation of our vision, values, and hard work. 

Josh Gould, CEO at thebigword, commented: “We are incredibly proud to be nominated for the ATC Awards. This recognition is a testament to the hard work, innovation, and dedication of our entire team. At our core, we are committed to delivering impactful language solutions that empower our clients and communities, and being acknowledged by the ATC is a strong validation of that mission.”
