Gavin Wheeldon (born 12 May 1976) is a British businessman and entrepreneur from the Manchester area who is best known for a controversial contract his former company, Applied Language Solutions, signed with the United Kingdom's Ministry of Justice. Wheeldon founded ALS 〔(Applied Language Solutions )〕 in 2003. In December of 2011 he sold the business to Capita plc; resulting in the company rebranding to Capita Translation and Interpreting. ==Ministry of Justice Controversy==
In 2011, the company signed a lucrative contract with the UK's Ministry of Justice to provide court interpreters across England and Wales. Wheeldon later admitted that ALS was ill-prepared to meet the obligations of the agreement. Registered police and court interpreters were unhappy about the ministry's decision to use ALS, in addition to the much lower pay offered by the company, and over 1,000 of them protested the decision.〔 The majority of them refused to work for ALS, leading to questions in Parliament as to whether the contract was viable. During the first quarter of the contract, ALS faced 2,232 complaints. Some poorly-prepared interpreters were accused of creating "courtroom chaos" that led to cases and proceedings being delayed or collapsing entirely because they failed to show up on time or were deemed incompetent.
