Martin Gregor, Football Association of the Czech Republic

Romana Bičíková has interpreted several press conferences for FC Viktoria Plzeň. She has fulfilled the high standards set by the UEFA supervising bodies in both English and Spanish interpretation, and it was especially thanks to her professionalism and resourcefulness that the press conference prior to the FC Viktoria Plzeň-FC Barcelona Champions League match was acknowledged as the best media meeting of the round. Miss Bičíková has also translated several official documents for the club and we have always been absolutely satisfied with her work. She is a true professional with an interest in the topic and utmost reliability.
Pavel Pillár, FC Viktoria Plzeň

Romana Bičíková is one of our best YA translators. We have been working together for a long time and I know that I can always rely on her not only when it comes to keeping to a deadline, but also when it comes to the quality of her work. It is a joy to read her translations, because she has a knack for the language of the youth, which is paramount in translating Young Adult literature.

The Football Association of Czech Republic cooperated with Sebastian Aguas during the UEFA European Championship qualifying round on Septemper 2nd and 3rd 2015 when the Czech Republic played against Kazakhstan. Sebastian Aguas worked perfectly as a consecutive interpreter for us both at official press conferences before and after the match and during the festive lunch attended by representatives from both football associations, the President of the Pilsen Region and the Kazakh Ambassador. The Football Association of Czech Republic was very pleased with all services provided by Sebastian Aguas and with his very professional attitude. In case of further interpreting demand, the Football Association will further cooperate with him

Martin Gregor, The Football Association of Czech Republic

In 2015, we installed a new machine manufactured in China. Due to the fact that the technicians from China spoke only Chinese, Mr. Aguas provided for the interpreting and took care after the technicians when their working day ended. The machine was installed successfully and we were pleased with Mr. Aguas´ interpreting and really recommend him.

Miroslav Koumar, Miro

In September 2014, Mr. Aguas cooperated with our company as an interpreter for Chinese technicians during the installation and implementation of a new technology for corrugated cardboard production; a cutting machine and flexography production line.
