Global Link arose from the experience of Vanessa Bastos, who since 2001 has been helping people from the Portuguese-speaking community in Ireland in a wide variety of situations Vanessa's ability to overcome communication barriers led her to become a professional in the field of translation and simultaneous interpretation. In 2008 she began working as a freelance translator with the Portuguese-speaking community and in 2017 she founded Global Link, reaching new professional horizons. As a result of her good work, Global Link won the Corporate Immigration & Relocation Awards in 2019 for the best official translation service.
