Prestige Network’s new legal translation services website showcases various language services available and their possible applications – legal translation, legal interpreter, court translation, solicitors, commercial.

The site is designed with ‘service finder’ and ‘quote enquiry/quote request’ facilities built into the site to make it as user-friendly for the legal profession as possible. It recognises and delivers the legal profession’s customised requirements.

Salome Wagh, Prestige Network’s sales manager, said: “We believe that extensive knowledge and experience – nearly 20 years working alongside the legal profession throughout the UK – teamed with accredited standards of professionalism and quality control put Prestige Network’s language services to the legal profession in a league of their own.”

Shohreh said: “This was the first time that Anthony and I had been to Henley Regatta – it was great to be invited and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

“Seeing the effort that the rowers put into their achievements is a real inspiration for anyone in business.”

Maria Wallin - General Manager, Prestige Network

Prestige Network has appointed Maria Wallin as General Manager.

 Maria, who speaks four languages (Swedish, English, German and Spanish), joined language services company Prestige Network in 2007 as PA to CEO Shohreh Fleming, working her way up to Administration/HR Manager before being appointed General Manager from 1 June (2009).

She said: “I was looking for a career change and seeking an industry where I could be exposed to a multi-cultural working environment and that’s way I was attracted to work for Prestige Network. I enjoy challenges and stepping outside of my comfort zone – I thrive on that – that’s what’s different about me. I adapt very quickly to new countries and new environments.

Maria, 35, was born in Seoul, Korea and has lived in six countries. She started her international ‘jet-setting’ life at the tender age of three months when she moved to Sweden to be with her adoptive parents. During her years growing up, she also lived in Saudi Arabia and Spain (Marbella) – her father’s job as a civil engineer took the family around the world. At age 19, Maria left home to move to Switzerland to do a BA in Business Management.

Her career started in Jersey, where she worked her way up from receptionist to General Manager in a variety of hotels, but the travelling bug caught up with her and she left to take a year out on a world tour, travelling around all of the continents.

Last year, Maria led Prestige Network’s management team to be awarded an Internationally recognised ISO 9001 certification by BM Trada, an accredited certification body, for its comprehensive Quality Management System which incorporates all aspects of its operation.

She said: “When Prestige Network was awarded ISO 9001 certificate, this was my biggest achievement here. The ISO 9001 confirms that every single procedure of Prestige Network’s operations, from linguist recruitment to appropriate invoicing, is quality checked – thus ensuring a professional service to all of our customers and suppliers. We are one of the few companies in the industry to achieve this.”

Salome came to the UK in 2003 to do an MA and Media and Communications. She joined Prestige Network in 2006 and has worked in the operations and sales teams. She speaks French, Italian, Hindi, Marathi and English, is originally from Poona in India.

Salome will be working with solicitors providing business law and assistance in child-custody court proceeding. She said: “I am delighted to be given the opportunity to work with solicitors throughout the south. Our work with personal injury solicitors in particular is a growing market, especially with more and more disputes.”
