The Polish community in Namur
Poland's accession to the European Union in 2004 opened the door for large-scale Polish labour migration to Belgium. Namur and Wallonia attracted Polish workers primarily in construction, renovation and the service sector. Polish tradesmen - electricians, plumbers, tilers and general builders - work extensively on renovation and new-build projects across the Namur province, often employed through Belgian companies or operating as self-employed contractors.
In addition to workers, Namur's Polish community includes families who have settled permanently in the region, children enrolled in local schools, and a small number of Polish professionals in other sectors. For all these residents and workers, professional Polish interpretation is sometimes necessary for healthcare, administrative and legal matters.

Certified Polish interpreters for CHR Namur, CPAS, courts, construction sites and building companies. Available across the Namur province.
Available interpretation modes
- Liaison (on-site) : The interpreter attends in person and works consecutively. The preferred mode for court sessions, CPAS interviews and medical consultations where physical presence is essential to the exchange.
- Remote (Zoom/Teams) : Video interpreting for online administrative procedures, labour disputes or company meetings with Polish partners. Same quality, no travel logistics.
- Telephone : Immediate support for urgent situations - workplace accidents, emergency hospital admissions or police interviews - when there is no time to organise on-site attendance.
- Consecutive : The speaker pauses after each passage while the interpreter renders the message. Suited to formal hearings, labour negotiations and administrative meetings where accuracy takes precedence over speed.
