Lucy Brooks
My formal language training began at the age of eleven and continued through every stage of school and college.
Since graduating from college with a Diploma for Linguists in Commerce and Industry, I have used my language skills in many ways.
Starting as a bilingual secretary, I moved on to work in the tourist industry in Spain where I was responsible for dealing with clients from northern Europe.
For thirteen years I pursued a career in local government, while also offering IT and secretarial services in industrial PR.
I began my freelance translating career some 29 years ago, specialising in technical and business texts. I have seen the industry change and develop in many ways.
