In parallel with the changes in the UK, WordWave has merged its Asia and Australia operations, with Charlotte Pache, currently WordWave International Asia’s Managing Director, overseeing the new business, including offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney and Melbourne. Vicky Ioannides, previously Hong Kong Operations Manager will head up the Australian arm, as Operations Director.

Sarah Andrews, WordWave International Group Managing Director continues to focus on ensuring the growth and development of the group as a whole, helping to make sure new litigation support services are rolled out in the UK and beyond and co-ordinating the integration with Merrill Corporation.

Sarah says: “It’s an exciting time for all of us at WordWave, and it’s exciting for our customers too. Already, we’re offering a much wider selection of services, backed up by years of experience in litigation support, court reporting and transcription as well as considerable expertise in cutting edge solutions like court broadcasting and Speech to Text. All of which means total support for clients – from their day-to-day work to the most high profile, complex formal hearing.”
