Being a member of the NWTN since 1989 has helped me enormously, from advice in the early days when I was making a career change into translation through to the excellent events organised and the opportunities provided for peer support (both giving and receiving). Many NWTN colleagues have become good friends over the years, and I’ve shared offices with at least two of them. Having recently returned to the Manchester areas (after a long time away – thought I kept up my membership of course), I’m looking forward to getting more involved with the NWTN again in 2018
