Guildhawk's Journey
25 Years of Innovation
Guildhawk is founded in London by Jurga Žilinskienė, originally as Today Translations, with a bold vision: to fuse technology, linguistics and global cultural intelligence from day one.
Unable to find software capable of managing complex translation workflows, Jurga learns to code and creates QCS — a pioneering platform enabling full audit trails, global team coordination and secure multilingual project delivery.
Guildhawk's commitment to innovation is recognised when Jurga wins the Shell LiveWIRE Young Entrepreneur Award, shining a national spotlight on new technology that was a first in the translation industry.
