We offer a comprehensive array of services to clients ranging from multinational corporations to individual students.

Using this triadic approach, we have successfully worked with a large number of clients.

As most of our work is based in the Middle East, we are familiar with the problematic style and syntactic issues that occur when translating Arabic text into English. We are able to work with your translated English and iron out these problems without deviating from the intended meaning of the original text.
Our work portfolio at Lexicon
is diverse and includes advertisement material, presentations,
corporate projects, speeches, and academic journals. We also
able to undertake special ad-hoc assignments specifically
tailored to our clients' needs. Please refer to our services
section for more information about our work.
Our professional services team comprises
a group of English language consultants all trained at leading
institutions in the United Kingdom. Our consultants are based
in our head office in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) and Manchester
(UK). We are happy to provide onsite training
courses at either location.
