The Alexika management team is based in the North of England, with an office in London to meet clients when easier for them. In the North, we are in the Yorkshire Dales and Ribble Valley areas – with superb broadband and easy access to the cities of Manchester, Leeds and Bradford with good rail links to London. A great place for an international business, and perfect for a remote service such as translation.
Translating in a beautiful but threatened landscape
But aside from the business benefits, we’re keenly aware that we live in a beautiful part of the world – and in a landscape that is under constant threat and needs to be protected. This is why Alexika has become a Community Supporter of the Friends of the Dales. Friends of the Dales is a registered charity set up in 1981 which works to protect and enhance the Yorkshire Dales and encourage everyone, from all backgrounds, to value and enjoy this special area. The challenges are encapsulated in the following statement:
“Friends of the Dales believes that the interrelated crises of climate breakdown, biodiversity loss, overuse of natural resources and pollution pose a serious threat to the Dales. While we recognise that change is inevitable, we will strive to make sure that:
- Change is managed, and that, where possible it is restorative and regenerative;
- Our activities do not exacerbate or accelerate the adverse changes;
- We seek to take a precautionary approach where necessary, to safeguard the Dales for present and future generations.
It is our intention that the Dales of the future will retain the special qualities that are important to current residents and all those who, along with Friends of the Dales, care for and seek to protect and enhance the area.“
