Summary

Experienced and professional office administrator with a strong background in client services within a busy Management Consultancy in Covent Garden, London, progressing from Receptionist to Client Services Manager. Confident in managing front-of-house operations, coordinating diaries and handling confidential information with discretion. Fast and accurate typing skills with strong admin skills.

Following a dedicated period raising my family, I successfully returned to self-employed work building and managing domestic and commercial clients. Highly organised, personable and reliable, now seeking a part-time receptionist role where I can provide a professional, efficient and welcoming service.
