MEET THE TEAM

At Romany Interpreting & Translations Ltd., we take great pride in our close collaboration with a diverse pool of independent linguists. These language experts are not only enthusiastic about their work but also bring a wealth of experience to the table. By leveraging their specialized skills in interpreting and translation across numerous languages, we enhance our service offerings significantly. This collaborative approach enables us to provide a wide range of language services that are precisely customised to meet the unique needs of our clients operating within the legal, medical, and local government sectors.

We work with two different types of linguists: qualified, highly experienced professionals with a proven track record and membership in professional bodies regulating the quality of their work, and unqualified, but experienced linguists. The first type is more expensive and offers precise, prompt and punctual services to excellent work standards. Conversely, the latter type is more cost-effective and delivers work to a good standard. We are prepared to provide you with the type of linguists that aligns best with your specific needs and preferences.
