Anna Davis

A Different Path

Anna Davis is our Accounts whizz! Her path to Atlas Translations did not take the most obvious route. At the start of her career, Anna was a children’s nurse before leaving hospital-based nursing to obtain a degree in Public Health. Anna became a health visitor after achieving her degree.

Anna’s career in the NHS ended in 2009 when she left to have the third of what turned out to be four children. When she returned to work, it was time for a new direction. Anna joined a local primary school where she launched and ran the Facebook and Twitter pages as well as the school’s website.

A Bump in the Road

A major bump in the road saw Anna return to the hospital setting—this time as a patient. Once her treatment was finished, she returned to work once again, joining us here at Atlas Translations.

Anna oversees our Accounts, managing super-efficient systems that allow us to pay our suppliers very quickly.

You can read a lovely blog about Atlas Translations and the local community, written by Anna, here.

Tea, Birthdays, and a Dinosaur

Anna also helps out with our project management work. She can be found working on birth certificate translations and arranging the notarisation of certificate translations.

Anna keeps the office running by ensuring there is fresh coffee and tea aplenty and remembering everyone’s birthdays.

Anna’s assistant (Basil the dog) joins her at work daily. You may occasionally have the pleasure of hearing him on the phone. Basil doesn’t answer the phones (not anymore, anyway), but he has been known to yawn loudly in the background, sounding a bit like a dinosaur.

The best part about our office dinosaur’s input is that it can often be heard at an inopportune moment—usually during a Zoom call.

Bra Bin

Thanks to Anna, we have established a permanent Bra Bin that is regularly filled. Raising money for a great charity, Against Breast Cancer, you can read more here.

The Bra Bin is currently located at 6 Upper Dagnall St, St Albans AL3 5EA, UK inside Gwendolen Lingerie & Swimwear

Mirela Watson (feedback for Jim)

Clare’s review of my CV was incredibly helpful, thorough, and added a lot of value to it. She also gave a good look at my LinkedIn profile and website, pointing out their strengths and weaknesses, from the point of view of an experienced professional who runs a successful LSP. And she did all that while raising funds for the Fairlynch Museum! I am very grateful for Clare’s comments and a huge admirer of the work she does helping translators and her community. Thank you, Clare!

Claudia Torres (feedback for Clare – CV Clinic)

I highly recommend Atlas translations. James turned around a complicated set of legal translations quickly and professionally. Excellent service at a reasonable cost.

Chloe Dawes (James)

I highly recommend Atlas Translations. They helped me out with the translation of tax documents. They provide a quick and reliable service. And I would 100 % use them again next time I need a document translated. Special thanks to Stefania who has been of great help.
