Testimonials
"If you’re looking for a brilliant, efficient and diligent PA or life admin assistant - then look no further. I’ve known Catherine for 8 years, two of those as my PA and she is superb. I’ve never missed a beat travelling across continents and running multiple teams. Have an intro conversation if you are even thinking you might need help. Catherine is pragmatic and resourceful and I would recommend her to anyone needing a great PA".
Simon H - M&S Head of International Franchise
"I worked with Catherine for 7 years at M&S. For the last 2 years, I was fortunate to have Catherine as my PA. She is calm, collected, never phased by volume of activity and she approaches every task methodically and with care. She is professional, diligent, has high integrity and always exercises discretion. Her communication skills are top notch. She is resourceful and gets stuff done with no fuss. She is great at organizing events, business trips and generally helping you feel like everything is in control, even when it is chaos! If I have the opportunity to work with Catherine again, I will grab it!"
Laura P - M&S Director
"Catherine worked as my personal assistant for 6 years in various director level roles including Global supply chain, UK retail operations and International retail strategy. I found her work to be excellent. She managed dynamic diary requirements across multiple time zones, frequent international and UK travel and accommodation needs, and was popular with both internal and external stakeholders. Catherine is extremely resourceful, efficient, flexible and the ultimate professional. She integrated particularly well when moving business functions with me and navigates complicated problems with ease. Ultimately, she is somebody I could trust and always rely on to manage my business life. She would be a genuine asset to anybody who needs help in organising their professional commitments".
