Agatino Cirvilleri, the latest addition to the Roevin team
Roevin is delighted to introduce Agatino Cirvilleri who joined the Manchester office as an Account Manager in August. Born in Wanfercée-Baulet, Belgium to Italian parents, Tino, 26, spent a year in Canada as part of a Rotary International Exchange before undertaking a degree in Translation Studies from the ISTI (Institut Supérieur de Traducteurs et Interprètes) in Brussels. Not content with just one degree, Tino then moved to the UK to study for a BA(Hons) in Linguistics and French at the University of Salford. Fluent in French and English, Tino also has a good knowledge of Flemish, Spanish and Italian and has also undertaken a course in elementary Chinese! He joins Roevin from a background of customer service in the leisure industry.
The Manchester office has experienced huge growth this year with turnover up 120% on the same period in 2004. Tino will join Alan White and Mark Buffery managing translation projects, specialising in those into French.
Alan White, Manager of our Manchester office commented “Tino’s extensive studies in translation and his command of languages will make him a valuable asset to the Roevin team and further enhance the quality of service we aim to provide to our clients.”

Roevin was recently asked to write an article for Exporting World, the quarterly publication of the Institute of Export, to help those new to the world of translation purchasing identify a reputable translation services provider. As with any service, translation quality varies greatly between providers and the article highlights the importance of factors such as ensuring that translators are professionally qualified, that they only translate into their native language and that the company is a member of a professional body such as the Institute of Translation and Interpreting or the Association of Translation Companies. It is also important that potential translation buyers are not afraid to ask for sample translations or references from existing clients.
The Institute of Export was established in 1935 and its mission is to enhance the export performance of the United Kingdom by setting and raising professional standards in international trade management and export practice. This is achieved principally by the provision of education and training programmes. For further information please visit http://www.export.org.uk/
