Universally Speaking expands global platform with new Philippines operation
New Philippines delivery centre adds scale and global coverage to more than 20 years of specialist games services.
Universally Speaking supports publishers and developers across Functional QA, Localisation QA, Localisation and Customer Support, building a reputation on specialist games knowledge and handling confidential projects.
The company’s new operation based in Cebu, Philippines gives clients a choice of UK, European, Pacific or blended delivery across its games services.
Cebu has an established games sector, a large English-speaking talent pool, strong international connectivity and a time zone that helps align coverage across all of Universally Speaking’s global locations.
The new operation sits alongside the company’s existing Wyboston, Liverpool and Madrid teams, enabling clients to pick a delivery model that suits their project while ensuring constant excellent expertise and quality in all locations.
Andrew Brown, CEO of Universally Speaking, said: “Our clients consistently tell us they want exceptional quality, a solution capable of supporting any size of project and a commercially competitive offering. Historically, the industry has often required a compromise between those things. The opening of Cebu has been an important step in removing that compromise.
“We have taken the experience, processes and service standards Universally Speaking has developed over more than two decades and combined them with the exceptional talent and scalability available in the Philippines.
“Together with our established UK and European operations, Cebu has given us a genuinely global delivery proposition. This is much more than adding another location – it has expanded the size and complexity of programmes we can support and how we can work with our clients as a long-term strategic partner.”
