On Saturday, 13th October, a very particular birthday party took place at the Corinthia Palace in Attard: The International Translation Ltd. (ITA) celebrated its 15 years in business. Some 160 local and foreign guests, amongst ITA’s collaborators, clients and other invitees, indulged in a lavish buffet "Squisitezze Mediterranee” while enjoying the performances of two Flamenco dancers and of internationally-renowned jazz singer Susanna Bartilla who came from France especially for the event. The event proved indeed that a company offering translation and interpretation services can be successful not only thanks to its contracts with the EU but overall due to its close collaboration with various intergovernmental organizations. And the cherry on the birthday cake: ITA has just been awarded ISO 9001:2000 certificate for the excellence of its management processes.
