About

I’m Louise. I work with companies specialising in marketing or tourism and are looking to do business with the UK. I translate corporate communications from French and Spanish into English and use my copywriting skills to convey their company’s message in stylistically and culturally appropriate language so that they can reach a global audience. My recent translation projects include three websites for travel companies and five annual reports, including the financial records of an insurance company. My recent copywriting projects include four press releases, including one for a travel company and five brochures including one for a photography company.
