Transfer money abroad?

I wasn't really sure where to put this, doesn't seem to fit anywhere so I'll give it a go in here.

I need to transfer approx 15,000 Euro's to a company bank account in Spain.

Is there a better way (cheaper/better exchange rates) than doing it directly from my Natwest current account?

    Have you tried reading this: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/banking/foreign-currency-exchange

    At the best rate offered by a bureau de change it would cost you £13,574.70. If you were able to exchange money at the wholesale rate it would cost you £13,351.57.

    To get the best rate you need to contact a number of specialist FX providers and find the lowest possible price between the two listed above.
