The Company Journey…

1993:
The Beginning

The Typing Works was founded by Adele Herson, originally offering ‘secretarial services’

Early Days

Middlesex University commissioned Adele to carry out medical interview transcriptions, leading to rapid growth through word-of-mouth to become a preferred supplier to many UK and global universities

Digital Evolution:
Embracing Technology

With the digital age came endless possibilities and Adele was able to expand the transcribing team, using transcribers from across the UK to enable greater numbers of clients to be taken on. Transcribers were always chosen carefully and went through a thorough vetting process to ensure that the quality of transcription never dipped. Again, solely through referrals from happy customers, the workload continued to grow along with the team.

2024:
Leadership Transition

In 2024, with a heavy heart, Adele decided that it was time to step back and take a very well-earned retirement.
Peter Gresty took over the day-to-day running of The Typing Works with the same processes and, most importantly, the same team of transcribers remaining in place.

Present:
Continued Growth

The Typing Works continues to operate specialist academic transcription services for university clients across the UK and around the world. We continue to expand our services and now also offer translation, copy typing and transcription in other languages.

Our Dun & Bradstreet number is 211600212.
