Things to be aware of
Whispering interpreters work best on a one-to-one basis.
Where accompanying a small group on, say, a site visit it’s usually fine to hire just one interpreter for several delegates.
However, in business meetings it’s much better if each delegate have their own interpreter so as not to cause disruption for other delegates.
If you know in advance, or even suspect, that your Whispering Interpreter may be required to attend dinner with your group, please mention this at the time of booking.
