I can undertake a wide range of tasks and jobs and do them well - working alone, managing staff or volunteers or working as part of a bigger team. Competent, reliable, with good time-keeping I am a level-headed person who tends to think practically first in difficult or pressured situations as opposed to reacting emotionally. I am confident when working with higher profile people and have good English reading, writing and communication skills. I work well in a typical office environment but have discovered my greater passion involves working the 'behind the scenes' of people worlds, helping them to do what they do best by taking care of the elements in their lives that they can give less attention to.

    My key skill set and services are in both domestic and private personal administration and experience in this area is detailed more carefully in the 'Experience' part of my profile.

    Area Covered: UK wide. Based in West Yorkshire including Leeds, Harrogate, Ilkley, York
    Work Experience Summary: With 8 years of PA experience working at Business Executive Director and CEO levels I have worked on everything from booking flights/compiling itineraries to designing stage sets for live album recording, running VIP hospitality and organising home moves and refurbishment projects.

    I have 8 years of experience in:

    Daily management of boss's diary, scheduling of appointments, follow-up emails/re-scheduling.

    Weekly booking of flights and itineraries.

    Liaising with estate agents abroad on property r.e general upkeep.

    Liaising with world-wide high profile business people. Negotiating 'front end' speaking engagements - discussing itinerary, fees, flights, transportation, etc.

    The organisation of major annual conferences for delegates (numbering between 500 - 2000). Organising delegate entry to conference, organising staff and volunteers to run the conference in areas such as: car park, host and catering teams, game zone, creative team, media and finance departments.

    Manage a VIP driving team.

    Working with media departments on producing advertisements to email/have on TV and in magazines for various events as well as making sure websites are current.

    Liaising with local hotels on VIP guests and delegate conference rates each year - visiting hotels in surrounding areas to check out refurbishments/talk rates for the year.

    Asking hotels/local contacts for charitable donations for a number of fundraising events.

    Organising music bands to play at events. Involvement included negotiating rates/their terms and conditions/riders.

    Managing VIP hospitality team. Working with caterers weeks in advance preparing menus for breakfast lunch and supper. Designing table settings, lights, flowers, music, fire, atmosphere!!

    Organising house moves from arranging a removal company to getting them unpacked and having a meal ready at the new home.

    Re-decorating/home refurbishment projects.

    Sourcing and arranging large VIP hampers full of luxury goods for VIP guest speakers. In their hamper would be their itinerary with all the required information for their stay.

    This details just some of the projects and activities I have 8 years of experience in, it is by no means exhaustive but gives a good idea.
