Anna Bowman Translations Ltd...

...is a leading provider of language translation services with customers based in the UK, Europe, the USA and Russia.

Our principal activity is the provision of written material in numerous languages, translated from English originals, and supplied in electronic or hard copy formats to be used in printed publications, tourist brochures, instruction manuals, web sites and other related media.

The business has been in operation since 1996; taking on Limited Company classification in August 2005.

The business currently provides translation services to over 200 customers in more than fifteen countries, as well as providing consultations and general cultural advice to companies looking to break into overseas markets.

In terms of marketing, the company has been traditionally reactive in nature, but aims to embark on more proactive campaigns in 2007, as we look to develop and exploit other revenue streams where translated material is crucial in providing a competitive advantage. This sees the company expand to offer printing and multilingual web site design.

Our target market is made up of numerous small and medium sized companies (SME) as well as larger corporations. We do also have some personal translation requests from individuals, but we do not actively market a personal service, preferring to concentrate on the business-to-business (B2B) sector.

Identified strengths have shown to be our attention to detail and the knowledge and experience of the main Director in dealing with translation projects. Furthermore, being a small business allows us to keep costs to a minimum and adapt quickly to customer requests.

There are opportunities for the company to push more into the Russian and Asian language markets as trade barriers are removed.

Our principal mission statement: We are dedicated to helping our customers thrive in a changing world by becoming the leader in delivering high quality multilingual communication solutions.
