Key Staff

Yelena McCafferty, Translation Manager

Yelena moved to the UK in 2001 and continued her career as a Russian Translator and Interpreter. She holds a Diploma in Public Service Interpreting in English Law. Until a few years ago Yelena also enjoyed part-time teaching English as a Foreign Language, which is her second qualification.

Yelena is proud to be a registered member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists which is one of the professional organisations for translators in the UK. She is also on the National Register of Public Service Interpreters.

Yelena also produced a series of Russian language radio programmes, something she always wanted to try. When she is away from her desk, she devotes most of her time to her young son.

Larissa Yerokhova, Senior Translator

Larissa Yerokhova - Senior Russian Translator with Talk Russian UK

Larissa is based in Moscow. She has been part of our team since graduating from the Faculty of Modern Languages at Kostroma State University

Larissa is involved in both translation and interpreting and it is the interpreting side of the business that she enjoys most. “I love meeting people and help them communicate to do business together. Interpreting is very interesting, even though it can be stressful at times. As long as the client is happy in the end, perhaps after very tough negotiations, this is what matters,” she says. In her leisure time Larissa enjoys ballroom dancing.
