Global Voices Media

What Global Voices Media does

Global Voices Media, operating legally as GLOBAL VOICES LTD., is a UK-based multimedia language services company incorporated in Scotland (company registration SC270103) with offices in Stirling (headquarters) and London. The company also trades under the alternative names LONDON TRANSLATIONS and GEMINI TRANSLATIONS. It delivers a portfolio of five core service lines — voiceover, subtitling, dubbing, audio description, and localisation — to enterprise clients across media and entertainment, broadcasting, consumer goods, automotive, financial services, energy, and non-profit sectors. Named customer relationships visible on the website include Disney, BBC, Apple, Adidas, BMW, Barclays, Samsung, BP, Oxfam, and RedBull.

The company's technology stack combines AI-driven translation tools with human linguistic expertise, anchored by its proprietary GVM Portal platform that provides automated workflows, real-time project tracking, reporting and analytics, and streamlined invoicing and payment processing. The company positions AI as a catalyst for human-led quality rather than a replacement, and offers no public APIs, SDKs, or developer-facing integrations. Service delivery is performed by a hybrid team of in-house project managers and account managers plus a global network of freelance translators, voice actors, and dubbing studios that extends language and dialect coverage without proportional fixed-cost expansion.

Global Voices Media operates a sales-led, project-based professional services model with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Revenue is generated through custom quotations valid for 30 calendar days, with business payment terms of 20 working days following invoice or delivery, whichever is earlier. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales: prospective clients engage via a 'Request a quote' form on the website or by contacting offices directly, and are assigned dedicated account managers who serve as the single point of contact from project inception through delivery. The company is privately held, has been in operation for over a decade, and has not disclosed funding rounds, headcount, ownership structure beyond legal registration, or financial results.
