THE WRIGHT HOUSE CO. acquired Partners In Sign, Inc. (PINS) in 2015 with the goal of expanding into services beyond the core business of sign language interpreting. The objective was to apply PINS’ codified—and successful—business model to short-term rentals and transportation services. THE WRIGHT HOUSE CO. interpreting services are still directed by a nationally certified sign language interpreter, Lovelyn Anderson. She still believes in “hands-on,” “hands-up” management, and continues to interpret most weeks. The acquired, Partners in Sign, Inc.

Now, THE WRIGHT HOUSE CO. continues this top-down commitment to excellence. Each assignment is singularly handled with sensitivity to the needs of the individuals involved and the setting. Unlike most interpreting agencies, THE WRIGHT HOUSE CO. team still evaluates each request and hand-picks interpreters with the most relevant training and experience for the assignment.
