The quality of our teams

Over the years, CPW Group has also developed and maintained a network of over 180 qualified independent translators. We apply a strict selection process involving test translations and the checking of professional references.
All our translators have an in-depth understanding of the financial markets, receive regular training and only translate into their native language.
All our interpreters have over ten years' experience in their specialist areas (finance, legal, marketing) and are members of the AIIC (International Association of Conference Interpreters).

Management
An experienced, stable management team
CPW Group's management teams all have a background in finance (banking and/or insurance).
The Group's management team has been with the company for an average of 14 years, while our senior translators have been with us for an average of 9 years.
Our clients benefit from our direct experience of the financial markets and our in-depth understanding of the specific requirements of their financial, legal and communication departments.

Our methodology
A dedicated team and proven methods
The quality of your translated documents must match that of the original version, but our clients don't have the time or the resources to proofread, check and correct the translations they receive.
On the contrary, our clients want to entrust their project to specialists, knowing they can trust the finished results.
CPW Group provides a reliable solution in terms of both quality and rapidity for all the documents it translates.
A dedicated CPW Group team will be assigned to our client company throughout our partnership. This team will include a project manager and their dedicated translator or translators, and will follow our unique methodology, which has been developed and proven by the CPW Group over the years.
