Mrs Nicola Bottrell Hayward MITI
A seasoned language professional, I have worked in the translation industry as a project manager, freelancer, in-house translator and proofreader for over a decade. This experience is backed up by a Masters in Translation, demonstrating my sound knowledge of my German and French source languages and my deftness as a writer in my English mother tongue.
While I love being creative with words, I’m also skilled at quickly understanding new and complex technologies. This is why I am often chosen by clients for both their technical and marketing needs, ensuring a consistent approach and high level of technical accuracy in all their product literature.
I have a special interest in hydrogen technology and fuel cells as well as a strong background in smart homes, renewables and heating systems, having previously provided support to these sectors as an in-house linguist. I have also benefited from industrial training on gas boilers, heat pumps and biomass at the Viessmann Training Academy in Telford.
To keep up to date with the latest developments I regularly read translation journals and trade publications such as HZwei (German magazine for hydrogen and fuel cells), Installer (plumbing, heating systems, renewables) and The Engineer (engineering innovations).
