A Grade A Company
TRIPLE A was founded in February, 1990, under the name Triple A Language Services. Why TRIPLE A? The system of giving marks or grades in England is based on the first few letters of the alphabet. If you get graded A on your work then it is the best, so TRIPLE A is supreme! It is also the very highest designation applied to large financial instutions and even countries. A triple a designation stands for solidity, reliability and strength.
The original name was changed to Triple a communication in english as the business developed. This sent out a more accurate signal about the services then being offered. Today, services are offered to customers to meet their needs in the broad area covered by the term communication in English. Over the years, they have included team-building, inter-cultural communication and customer and telephone service as well as those to be found in detail elsewhere on this site: language services and a presentation skills service as well as consultancy.
Founder and owner
The story of TRIPLE A has been written mainly by one man, the founder and owner, Mike Hughes. Mike was born and educated in England, gaining a Masters Degree in French at Oxford University and a teaching qualification at Liverpool University. He also qualified to teach English as a foreign language in Germany.
Mike has been connected with teaching, coaching, course facilitation and development since he was 16 years of age. He has a passion for his work, is creative in solving problems and would cite the number of loyal and satisfied past and present customers as proof of his professional competence in his area.

The latest chapter in the ongoing story is what you are looking at......our new logo and website as well as the updating of our visual identity. It is our intention to set this website increasingly at the centre of our business. We will thus continue to combine the best of traditional methodology with the best of what technology can offer to help our customers solve their problems in communication in English.
