Thorsten H.

A family run firm delivering high quality, reasonably priced bespoke translation services.

We operate a hybrid business model. I personally cover ENNLDEENG and FR/ES to EN/NL/DE (the languages I provide personally will NEVER be outsourced) and can offer another 30 languages through collaborative linguists. Full list of languages can be found on our website www.hpdtranslations.co.uk

I am a Dutch national living in the UK since 2000. I am fluent in Dutch, German and English myself. My father is German and my mother Dutch; I grew up in a bilingual environment as well as studying all three languages at college, combined with French and Spanish.

Prior to establishing my company HPD Translations Ltd in July 2019 I was employed by global multinationals in Purchasing, Procurement, Supply Chain, Logistics, Contract Management and Customer Service where I used my linguistic skills on a daily basis communicating with colleagues, suppliers, clients and transport companies.
