Born in the UK, I learned German from my grandmother when young, and went on to graduate in French at University. Lived in Paris 2 years, 1 year studying commercial French, the other teaching in a French school. Holidayed in Spain most years since 1968 !
Worked in the UK insurance industry for 10 years, in a company (underwriting and claims) for 5, then 5 years as a loss adjuster (claims negotiator). ACII qualified (UK professional degree-level insurance qualification). Still have insurance sub-agency and remain member of the UK Institute.
Moved to Spain in 1997 - opened an office to represent a UK fruit & vegetable importer. Travelled throughout Spain, with trips to Chile, Morrocco, Peru, USA and France, gaining a thorough knowledge of the fresh produce industry and agriculture related to fruit and vegetables, as well as logistics, transport and technical/QC issues.
When the company wanted to return me to the UK, I left and joined the several hundred thousand UK expats in Spain, living 2km from the Mediterranean near Alicante ! Work as a freelance translator and interpreter throughout the Levante region, mainly Alicante province. Also run a shop, and provide a personal bespoke estate agency service...
Jobs I have tackled are simply too many and varied to mention - anything considered, nothing too big nor too small. Asking costs nothing, I aim to provide a flexible and friendly service at a reasonable price. | Keywords: insurance, politics, history, military, naval, ships, business, law, agriculture, fruit, wargames, models, recovery, estate agency, real estate, inmobiliaria, negocios, comercio, seguros, politica, historia, hortofruticola, derecho, recuperacion, maquetismo, juegos de guerra
