My love of languages – and a desire to apply my language skills in a positive and practical way – have shaped my academic study and my professional career. After a 20-year career in front-line international sales and marketing, I established N.B. Language Works in 2013, combining my commercial experience and language skills to help companies and organisations achieve their goals in English-speaking markets.I describe myself as a commercial linguist: I speak your language and think like a business. I’m convinced that effective communication is key to success, and I’ve mastered the art of balancing tight deadlines with the need for accuracy and excellence. My areas of specialism reflect my professional experience and my personal interests and my aim is always to make a positive impact. SPECIALISATIONS► Automotive: I provide accurate translations of design specifications, manufacturing guidelines and user manuals. And where automotive meets emotive, I use clear, compelling language to produce stylish sales brochures to maximise sales in English-speaking markets.► Engineering: I provide clear, accurate translations of technical documents like design resources, product and material specifications, and safety documentation; for marketing material such as websites, press releases and brochures, I use a more creative approach to ensure your message really resonates with your target audience.► Construction & Architecture: I provide translations of a wide range of product specifications and corporate communications, including press releases, case studies, exhibition material and sales brochures.► Tourism & Leisure: With so much competition in this sector, an enticing website or brochure is essential. I have produced punchy campaign straplines and slogans for airlines, helped luxury resorts to create stunning websites and brochures and supported eco-tourism companies to promote their values and vision.► Fashion: I have produced translations on all aspects of fashion, from clothing descriptions to press releases for new collections, from training manuals to production processes. My particular interest is ethical fashion and moving from “fast” to a more sustainable model (business model, that is. Not to be confused with the catwalk models).Contact me to see how I can help you.
