The Latin Americanist

Robust experience and excellent track record provides high quality content services

Edward Longhurst-Pierce has worked to enhance bilateral political and commercial relations between the UK and Latin America for over twenty years. After completing a BA in Spanish and French, he taught at the Universidad Nacional de San Agustín in Arequipa, Peru, and Universidad Autónoma de Chiapas in Tapachula, Mexico, selected from 4,000 applicants to represent the British Council. Developing a deep understanding of Central America, he visited Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.

​

He graduated with an MA in Spanish and French translation  before joining Canning House, the UK forum for Latin American affairs, responsible for corporate and government relations, and political and economic intelligence. In 2008-18, he was a Trustee of the Anglo Central American Society, later becoming Chairman and incorporating the Dominican Republic as a member state. From 2012-16, he was Chairman of the Anglo Ecuadorian Society, and Adviser to the Editor of LatAm Investor magazine from 2013-21. 

His credentials are impeccable, and his translation is detail-oriented with a great sense of cohesion between my ideas as a writer and his language skilIs
