"The experience of working with AIB could not have been better. We partnered with them for a recent international academic conference that needed to be sent entirely online due to the pandemic. This was entirely new and nerve-wracking for us as organisers and we consulted different companies to explore options. By far the most responsive and professional of them was AIB, who supported us so professionally throughout the entire process and were proactive in offering solutions for all of our needs, for example by finding and coordinating with an audiovisual company to set up and run the online platform and offering a test-run with our conference speakers, the interpreters and the sound technician. The interpreters themselves were excellent, our conference participants were highly impressed by them. I also enjoyed switching into the interpreters' channels to listen to them and was in total awe of their skills. AIB was not more expensive than other companies we contacted, although I am sure that the peace of mind and results they offer are incomparable. I absolutely recommend them."

"Thanks to AIB, we successfully managed to hold our Executive Committee meeting by combining a virtual platform (Zoom) and AIB's simultaneous interpreting. We had heard that this could be done, but hadn't yet tried it out. Our members were very pleased with the quality of both the interpreting and the sound, so we will definitely do this again.
Thank you for helping us bridge the distance and overcome the language barriers!"

"Thoroughly professional, with a meticulous eye to detail at every stage – before, during and after the event. They proved they were capable of dealing with the unexpected, such as a last-minute flight cancellation. For all of the above reasons I certainly recommend them."

"We shall entrust AIB with the supply of our interpreting needs in the future, because they have proved that they are highly professional not only as interpreters but also as organizers and coordinators of their services."

"I work for a marketing and branding agency in Madrid. Last week we organized an event in Barcelona, and it was a pleasure and honour to collaborate with 'AIB, Associated Interpreters of Barcelona' for the first time. We were advised and assisted at every stage leading up to the event and communication was always smooth. The interpreters were effective, punctual and very friendly. I can highly recommend them!"

"Yesterday's meeting went very smoothly; Mary Fons and Felix Ordeig were thoroughly professional and efficient. Thank you for your perfect coordination."

"As the event management company for a major European agency based in Alicante, we have used AIB's interpreting services for the last four years for all manner of events, including many that were highly specialist and at high institutional level. AIB has always provided a top quality service, often with great flexibility and reactivity to last-minute requests, for all languages and modes of interpreting. This hugely facilitated our job of organising important meetings, where we knew that the interpreting would be provided smoothly and professionally, meeting our customer's requirements. We recommend AIB for any meeting requiring interpreting. Working with them means you don't have to worry about that side of the event because you have the peace of mind that it will all go fine."

"We have been working with AIB for years now, in particular with Catherine who we have a direct relationship with and who is in charge of our translations and has also interpreted for us on various occasions. I would like to highlight their professionalism and good customer service. It is a pleasure for us to continue working with them."

"In EIPA Barcelona, we organised a study visit to Barcelona by a group from Latvia, on a judicial subject. We needed Spanish/Latvian interpreters, a very scarce combination. Thanks to AIB, we located two interpreters who came from Latvia. The simultaneous interpretation went very well, all the participants were very pleased with it. In fact, AIB saved the day. Many thanks for your highly professional service."

"AIB's team of 10 professional interpreters provided simultaneous interpretation into 5 languages at the World Association of Psychoanalysis congress, held in Barcelona from 2 to 6 April 2018, as well as two additional events, Appointment With the Pass, on 1 April, and Foro Internacional sobre Autismo: Más allá de la infancia. Autismo y Política ("International Forum on Autism. Beyond Childhood. Autism and Politics"), on 7 April.
We organizers were very pleased with the quality of the interpretation, and participants also praised the high linguistic standard achieved. Lacanian psychoanalysis doesn't merely use specific terminology, including many neologisms which the interpreters made it their business to learn: extremely precise use of language is part of the very essence of our practice, which is based on following speech or text to the letter. For this reason, we highly value the meticulous preparation work undertaken by the team of professional interpreters led by Pilar García, and which resulted in their carrying out their duties impeccably."

"We contacted AIB so as to have an alternative, and a further quote, for our Annual Shareholders' Meeting, some three years ago. From the outset, they presented a quick response and clear estimates. We decided to try them and it turned out to be a success. They have excellent professionals, with whom we had worked before; but particular emphasis should be laid on the roles of secretary – Silvia Ros – and coordination, which was provided by Patricia Lluch, who I already knew. They made our life easy, both before and after our event. They always provide a quick, clear reply, even when interpreters are required from one day to the next or equipment urgently for the same day. This is, beyond a doubt, one of those absolutely recommendable professional suppliers: they make one´s life easy. Right from the start, we had no doubts; when I organise an event, I turn to them."

"AIB is a highly professional company with good customer relations. We enjoyed the attention of Hugo Pooley and Silvia Ros at all stages.
The interpreters were very efficient, both from Russian to Spanish and from Spanish to Russian. We are an association for aeronautical history and held an international congress on Russian participation in the Spanish civil war. Our eminent speakers described the results of their research on the Spanish civil war. The terminology involved was highly specific and complex, but the interpreters performed perfectly.
I would recommend AIB to anyone wishing to organise such a congress."

"We reached out to AIB for help with a one-off event for which the date and other details had not yet been finalized, and which required interpretation into a number of languages, including some that are not commonly used in Spain.
AIB sketched out the various options for us, explaining the range of services and prices available, and we were able to come to an agreement. As the weeks went by, there were changes to the dates and venues of our event, as well as to the type of services that we required, but the people at AIB were always there, ready to help, and offered us the solutions we needed.
In the end, we were able to hold our event as planned, largely thanks to the efforts of AIB. None of the other providers we contacted were able to cater for two of the languages we needed, and furthermore, we doubt whether any other company would have been able to adapt as ably to the last-minute adjustments that we had to make to our plans.
Thank you very much!"

"We are a family business group based in the province of Barcelona – a small yet very international company with 14 different nationalities represented on our team. As a result, despite being a small company, our working language is English.
At our annual meeting, where all these different nationalities come together, we often invite guest speakers who tend to feel more at ease giving their presentations in Spanish. This is why we decided to call on AIB to provide simultaneous interpretation services for our most recent event.
AIB makes it easy for you. Mary Fons offers excellent consulting services and is quick to sense your needs and adapt the offer precisely to your situation. The people at AIB take care of everything, from the interpreting teams and equipment to the contacts with the hotel venue, etc., and all at a very reasonable price. The participants were impressed with the quality of the translation and the guest speaker felt quite at ease in the situation – the fact of having to be interpreted did not affect the presentation in any way. I will definitely call on AIB for future events. I give them top marks for professionalism!"

"To celebrate the centenary of our company, Ernesto Ventós, S.A, we were publishing a book and needed to translate it into English. AIB was recommended to us and we were fully satisfied with their professional approach. The outcome is an outstanding translation, done in a limited timeframe, with impeccable customer service.
If I were to highlight some of the strengths of any translation and that perfectly described AIB's work they'd be: quality, organisation, predisposition, exacting, meticulous, and, last but not least, rigour in using the right terminology for our sector."

"We are a German company dedicated to the production of medical devices. We recently organized our 3rd International Symposium in Spain and AIB was recommended to us. The recommendation was a success; they were highly competent. The interpretation was from and into Spanish, English and Russian. All the attendees from more than 17 countries were more than satisfied with the work of AIB, just as ourselves! Many thanks for your flexibility and once again, congratulations to all the interpreters who were so well prepared and who even when they received some of the presentations (with very difficult medical content) 30 minutes before the symposium, did a great job. I think you can work in any event and in any subject matter. Congratulations and thanks again!"

"We found out about AIB's interpreting services via their website. Right from the start, we received the highest quality information and service, from the initial telephone call through the project management phase and right up to the implementation and support during our event in Barcelona. As an international association, we require interpreting services at our annual meetings, and the success of these events depends in large part on the quality of the interpreters. Our members were of the unanimous opinion that the quality of the interpretation provided by AIB was excellent. These are the best interpreters we have worked with in the past ten years. We were extremely impressed with AIB's team and found our exchanges with them to be both very pleasant and professional. The interpreters responded to all situations with great agility and confidence, and we look forward to working with them again at the next opportunity."

"Interpreting services can make or break a project. In our case, AIB has reliably contributed to success thanks to the professionalism, thoroughness and dedication of the people who make up the company. AIB and Mary Fons have been working with Prodeca since we required interpreting two years ago for an international conference on integrated pest management for fruit and vegetable crops. This meeting had considerable technical content. The result? Our conference participants, without prompting, mentioned the high standard of interpretation in their feedback."

"Educo would like to thank the whole AIB team. We are a global development cooperation NGO that strives to help children. We run social projects in Spain and other countries in Africa, America and Asia to promote fair, equitable societies that guarantee children's rights and wellbeing. We are currently undergoing change, and last week AIB worked with us during our organisation's process of reflection and direction towards the future, showing how highly professional they are. The interpreters managed to adapt to the dynamics of the workshops and our language diversity shone as one of our strengths. Thanks for helping us achieve our mission."

"The first experience with AIB is for 2016 GSMA Mobile World Congress held from 21 to 25 February 2016 in Barcelona, Spain. We hired AIB (Agrupación de Intérpretes de Barcelona) to provide the simultaneous interpreting and document translation between English and Chinese Mandarin for the congress. We much appreciated for their professional approach and their high effective customer care (almost 24hr/7 days customer service). They solved our every urgent request in time and made the translation work run smoothly.
Thanks for your outstanding service!"

"Once again I would like to thank you for your excellent interpreting at our last teleconference with the European Committee. I would highlight not only your interpreters' immaculate professionalism but also the way in which they relate to our staff, and in particular their expert handling of the topics addressed.
I reiterate my thanks, and hope that you will pass on the message to your colleagues."

"Having worked with several translation companies over the years, our relationship with AIB has undoubtedly yielded the best results. As a design company, Santa & Cole's narrative is vital to convey our message to the world. AIB has always interpreted our message with very good results.
Our relationship has always been very smooth and they consistently deliver on time, even at very short notice."

"Interarts is a leading organisation in the field of international cultural cooperation (www.interarts.net). We have had excellent interpreting and translating services for many of the activities that make up our projects and programmes. AIB has been working with us for 10 years on our events and publications (papers, news, reports, etc.), ensuring the highest degree of quality and efficiency on the international market."

"Working with the AIB team organized by Mary Fons i Fleming was a pleasure. They were true professionals who prepared thoroughly for a topic that was inherently complex. Interpreting at our conference was a challenge they overcame outstandingly well. They were punctual, prepared, efficient - what more could we ask? We will more than likely choose them again for our future events."

"The organisers of the 13th International Congress of Educating Cities wish to thank the AIB interpreting team for their professionalism over the four days of the congress. They showed their commitment, expertise and a proactive attitude both before and during the event. Of the many aspects we had to take care of, we could allow the interpreting service to run autonomously thanks to their excellent customer service and the confidence they inspired in their work. Thank you very much indeed!"

"Thanks to AIB and their brilliant interpreter Edwina Mumbrú, we had a very interesting and educational day meeting Spanish colleagues at SOC in Barcelona. All communication with AIB and Edwina before, during and after our visit was very professional in every way and we give them our highest recommendation to anyone who needs an interpreter."

"I would like to say that my clients were extremely happy with the translation services provided.

I was also very happy with the helpful and flexible approach by yourself and your colleague Silvia, you helped with our last minute requests in a very prompt and timely manner and you made my job easier."
