Quality Translations in All Languages

Our Team

We believe that good teamwork is essential for creating the intellectual climate for providing consistently reliable, high-quality translations and sound project management. This coupled with the requirement for induction training of new staff and on-going training of existing employees means that becoming a "virtual company", like so many of our competitors would not be appropriate for us. Our office provides a pleasant working environment where we can foster good teamwork to provide you with a superior service!

Translation consultant and proofreader - Ulrich Guettinger
In the early 1970s, Ulrich, who is a German speaker, moved from Switzerland to London where he completed his studies with a First Class Honours Degree in French. He joined D.F. Long & Co (Translations) Ltd in 1981 and later bought the company. After many years of successful trading, his business partner retired and Ulrich took the opportunity to reduce his own commitments. He now works part-time as a consultant and specialises in the revision of French and German financial translations.
Founder and Managing Director - Andrew Schlich
Following graduation in Modern Languages from Oxford University, Andrew spent a number of years working in industrial exports in the UK and Germany before spotting an opportunity to provide top-quality translations into English via modem transfer (at that time a new technology!) to clients based in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Andrew now devotes his time to making sure everything's running smoothly and is also the Company's IT Administrator.
