Jim Hearn

Operations Manager

Translation Project Expert

Jim Hearn joined Atlas Translations in early 2012 as a Project Manager and is now our Operations Manager. Jim has now spent over 15 years working with languages and has amassed a wealth of experience in managing multilingual projects across a range of services.

In 2021, Jim and his family made a big move to live in Bath, where he’s enjoying making connections and being part of the business community there.

Konnichiwa

Keen to expand his own linguistic capabilities, Jim has been enjoying studying Japanese for the last few years.

Calm and organised, he’s excellent at managing projects large and small and keeping the office team running smoothly.

Every company needs a Jim Hearn, and we are very lucky to have him! 

Tommy the Dog

Jim works with Tommy the Dog, who you can read more about here! A rescue dog from Serbia, Tommy landed firmly on all four paws when Jim and his family adopted him.

Tommy’s tea-making skills are a bit lacking, but he is greatly loved regardless. His love of naps, sausages, and cheese (excellent choices) more than makes up for it. Although Tommy lives with his family in Bath, he’s always a welcome visitor to the St Albans office.

Thank you for your kindness, help, and prompt efficient service.

Just wanted to say that it was a pleasure to work with you and hopefully we will liaise again in the future. Top man!

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!

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.
