The founder of LOST IN TRANSLATION, Margaret Skinner, is British. Her career has been varied but has mainly focused on Personal Assistant roles where her native English, knowledge of other languages, attention to detail, organisational abilities and people skills have been major assets – precisely the skills offered by LOST IN TRANSLATION. Always working with European/International companies has also enabled her to combine work with her main life-long interest – other countries, peoples, languages and cultures.

Daily involvement with people, whose native language was not English, resulted in admiration for their abilities to communicate in English. At the same time, it was always apparent that their communications could have been much more effective if the writers had been able to consult a native English speaker, who could ensure that their English was correct and clearly conveyed their message.

Out of many years of such experience, the concept for LOST IN TRANSLATION was born

LOST IN TRANSLATION is supported by a small team of associate specialist consultants, including occupational psychologists (specialists in taking a systematic approach to organisational issues using current communication theory and best practice), accountant (experienced assistance with UK business incorporation and associated UK Tax and Accountancy advice) and a leading UK drama-based learning and development consultancy.

Together, we can ensure that your communications with English-speaking countries and, additionally, your specific business interests in the UK can be supported with a professional, intelligent and empathetic approach as well as a genuine willingness to deliver exemplary customer service.
