Summary

I have over 20 years experience of working as a dedicated executive administrative professional with extensive experience in operational coordination, planning and support.

I am able to deliver first class secretarial and administrative support working closely with my Director to ensure the business runs smoothly and often in his absence I would be trusted to handle the work efficiently and professionally. With a background working with confidential information, strict processes and ambitious targets. I thrive under pressure in high tempo environment to meet tight deadlines.


I have exceptional interpersonal and communicative skills, highly organised and consider myself to be competent and enthusiastic. I am a strong planner who readily adapts to change, I work very well independently as well as being a team player. I am a strong believer that accuracy and attention to detail is crucial in the working environment.


I am cheerful, well presented, and punctual and able to establish excellent working relationships with a range of different people. I am fully conversant with all Microsoft Office programs such as Microsoft Word and Excel. I possess an accurate and fast typing speed.
