How To Get Started
Who We Are
Unlocking Language began in 2013 when our CEO, Shermeena Rabbi, founded the company with the vision of revolutionizing speech and language services. Starting in a small office, "Tartan House," we secured our first school client, Ark Globe Academy, and our first adult institution, Enable Care.
By 2014, we expanded our team and moved to larger offices, first "Waterfront Studios" and then "Beaufort Court." In 2015, we hired our first employees and secured a landmark NHS contract in Liverpool. In 2018, we forged a critical partnership with the London Borough of Southwark and moved to "Ensign House," highlighting our steady growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 prompted us to swiftly pivot to online services, showcasing our adaptability. By June 2021, we resumed face-to-face clinics, and in 2022, we moved to "Harbour Exchange," marking a new phase.
Our journey from "Tartan House" to "Pepper Street" underscores our dedication and commitment to providing top-quality language services. We look forward to continuing to unlock new possibilities in language and communication services.
