    Education[edit]

    Career[edit]

    David Garcia Gonzalez came to the UK in 1998 and worked as a translator and Spanish-speaking voice-over talent for more than 10 years. In 2008, David took the plunge and set up his own localisation company from scratch. He invested in two state-of-the-art recording studios and offices with top-of-the-range equipment. David’s biggest success as an entrepreneur was GoLocalise, offering translation, voice-over and subtitling services all under one roof. Garcia Gonzalez streamlined the localisation industry, introduced new efficiencies for clients, and sped up the process of adapting audiovisual content. The growth of social media and the increasing requirement of businesses to localise their audiovisual content for foreign markets – particularly China and South America – have contributed to the success of GoLocalise. As of 2020, the company now employs eight permanent staff and is turning close to a million pounds per annum. Garcia Gonzalez has quickly become a ‘jack of all trades’ when it comes to business skills, whether that be finance, marketing, or people management.

    In August 2014, he joined the Entrepreneurs’ Circle, which is the brainchild of serial entrepreneur Nigel Botterill who set it up as “a place where UK business owners, who want to become super successful, go to grow”. Since 2010, the Entrepreneurs’ Circle has helped thousands of UK business owners become more profitable and more successful.

    David Garcia Gonzalez has received a huge amount of practical support from the Entrepreneurs’ Circle, including marketing advice and mentoring, which he claims have given him and his businesses a massive boost. In an interview Garcia Gonzalez said “The Entrepreneurs’ Circle has taught me new skills I didn’t have before. But just as importantly, it has given me the confidence to be a better business leader and take GoLocalise to the next level nationally and internationally.”
