Bio
mckay2 consulting is a partnership of husband-and-wife translating team Neil McKay and Gill McKay. We are both English native-speakers, hold BA degrees in German and French and between us have a wide range of experience in business, consulting, health care and training. This practical working experience gives us insight into many areas, allowing us to provide the client with accurate and professional translations. We have considerable experience in translating a wide range of business and non-business texts, and specialise in marketing, cultural topics, sport, tourism, health issues and international development. We particularly enjoy working on projects that require a high standard of written English. We are also published translators, having translated a 271-page book on a major 20th-century artist (see below) and acting as translators/editors of the annual EUNIC Culture Report (EU National Institutes for Culture). Sample pages available for viewing on publisher’s homepage:
