Based in Torquay, I have been providing personal assistance to large global companies, owners of small to medium sized businesses and local business groups since 2000. This includes 14 years at AstraZeneca UK Ltd, where I worked on-site and virtually as a personal assistant to the directors and Site Management Team and running my own business since 2014. I now work with enlightenHR providing a full support service to Alison and the team, as well as providing HR Admin to client enquiries. Along with Sue I work with many of our clients to lead on their breatheHR implementation, helping them to set everything up so that it works as they need it to.
As a time-served personal assistant I understand how important it is to have a flexible approach to work, adapting to how clients like to work so that I “trot alongside” wherever needed. This experience combined with good communication and software skills ensures delivery of a professional and polished virtual assistance service to help clients manage their business better.
In my spare time I enjoy walking (Dartmoor in particular), camping, gardening and AcroYoga. Taking part in voluntary community projects such as beach cleans, business festivals, career fairs and clearing overgrown footpaths are enjoyable pastimes and have led to many new personal and professional friendships.

“My approach is always to combine flexibility and attention to detail. Whether I’m supporting the enlightenHR team or working directly with clients my aim is to help people feel I’m an integrated part of the team – helping to make life easier and adapting to pick up the things that need doing.”
