Andrew Howitt

Trowlock B.V. is headed up by Andrew Howitt together with Marion Howitt. They moved from England to the Netherlands more than 30 years ago. Their experience comes from education at two of England’s most renowned schools followed by technology and sciences university education, all of which heavily stressed the use of good English.  
Andrew has more than 40 years international, industrial, technical and commercial experience at directorship level, working for and dealing with global leading blue-chip companies (Monsanto; International Synthetic Rubber; BTR Industries; Akzo; S.C. Johnson; DeSter-Duni; Endries Int.) in a very diverse range of industries around the world. Translations from Dutch to English and vice versa have formed a large and integral part of this period.

From a similar education background, Marion’s experience supports this with a good feeling for language, empathy for people and what appeals to them. This is further enhanced by their love of good cuisine and is topped with their ‘double dose’ of good humour!
