Summary

Highly motivated, dedicated and diligent all-round professional with over 28 years EA/PA/Administrator experience. I like to be one step ahead at all times. Sports is an important part of my and my family's life which also makes me competitive and wanting to do the best I can. I am highly creative and very much enjoy organising events and people. I have successfully enjoyed introducing/suggesting new processes with the companies I have worked for. Attention to detail is vital. I have a proactive approach to continuous improvement and innovation in all aspects of my job. My extensive travel and work experience enables me to adapt extremely quickly to any situation and my languages have also proven to be beneficial whilst dealing with businesses and situations abroad. I am reliable and discreet in dealing with highly confidential matters and enjoy working under pressure. Up to recently I have been on the Board of Directors for Crowborough Tennis and Squash Club (Charitable status) managing the Marketing and Social media duties for the Club.
