McIreland Operations
Bridging languages. Connecting businesses. Keeping operations moving.
McIreland Operations supports businesses working across English-speaking and German-speaking markets by providing practical communication support, supplier liaison and operational assistance — helping businesses communicate effectively with manufacturers, suppliers and service providers while reducing the administrative burden on internal staff.
About McIreland Operations
McIreland Operations was founded by Maren Fastenau, a native German speaker with over 20 years of practical experience working with contractors, wholesalers, manufacturers and suppliers in the German heating and sanitary industry.
Working across English-speaking and German-speaking markets highlighted a common challenge: language differences can make day-to-day business communication, technical enquiries and supplier coordination unnecessarily time-consuming. McIreland Operations was created to bridge this gap and support communication between businesses in both directions.
Combining native German language skills with practical industry experience and commercial understanding, McIreland Operations provides support that goes beyond translation alone. The focus is on understanding what is needed, communicating it clearly and helping move the process forward.
Whether support is needed for a single enquiry, an ongoing project or regular business operations, McIreland Operations offers a flexible and cost-effective alternative to additional permanent staff — helping businesses save valuable time, reduce communication barriers and stay focused on their core activities.
Our Services
McIreland Operations provides practical communication, supplier and business support for companies working across English-speaking and German-speaking markets.
Support goes beyond simply translating words. MIO can assist with translating business and technical emails and preparing draft responses, contacting manufacturers and suppliers to request technical or commercial information and documentation, following up on enquiries, and supporting ongoing communication between businesses.
Whether an English-speaking company needs support communicating with a German-speaking manufacturer, supplier or service provider – or a German-speaking business requires assistance communicating with an English-speaking company – MIO provides support in both directions.
Services also include supplier and business support as well as administrative and operational assistance, helping with enquiries, follow-ups, documentation, organisation and day-to-day business tasks.
Support is available on a flexible freelance basis for individual requests, defined projects or ongoing business needs.

How Pricing Works
McIreland Operations offers different pricing options depending on the type and scope of support required.

Fixed rates are designed for clearly defined, one-off requests such as a single email translation, technical email translation or individual supplier/manufacturer enquiry. The price shown applies to one individual request. Multiple emails, documents or separate enquiries are charged individually unless otherwise agreed.
Hourly Support
Hourly rates are generally used for ongoing or recurring support, such as supplier and manufacturer communication, research, follow-ups, documentation or administrative tracking. This option is suitable when the workload may vary or when support is required across several tasks.
Project-Based Pricing
For larger or clearly defined assignments, a fixed project price can be agreed in advance. Pricing is based on the scope, complexity, expected workload and duration of the project.
