Meet the Team
Our people have a passion for languages, expertise in translation and a real desire to make a difference for our clients. We’re sticklers for quality, passionate linguaphiles and grammar geeks.
At Comtec we know we’re only as good as our people. That’s why we put so much time and effort not only into recruiting the best, but into ongoing training to meet our clients’ needs.
