I trained as a mechanical engineer in the UK then moved to Italy to further my career. I spent 24 years working in Italy for a number of large manufacturing companies in roles such as Production Manager and Project Manager. I have been translating for around 11 years, initially as a sideline to my main job, and two years ago it became my full-time occupation. I have now relocated to the UK and travel extensively, but my laptop follows me wherever I go. I am never out of reach and offer very rapid turnaround of any document (I don't know what sleep means!!).
