INTRODUCTION
I provide translation services from Russian and Spanish into English.
For over twenty years I translated texts from Russian into English for a private Dutch translation agency. The subject matter related to the numerous disciplines, which affect the various technical operating elements of railways in Russia.
I studied and subsequently worked for over 35 years in Spain and Latin America as a very senior banking executive firstly for the largest British bank and latterly for the most important Spanish financial institution. I am fluent in Spanish and have a profound and detailed knowledge of economics and banking in Spanish, being personally familiar with Spain and the Dominican Republic, where I lived for many years. I am now focussed solely on translation.
I am able to provide an accurate translation on these technical matters as well as related and general texts and with a rapid turnaround time.
