I have just recently joined Mott Macdonald as an EA to the Group Board.Previously I was Executive Assistant for one of the BIG 4 Accountancy firms, I work in Advisory in the Infrastructure, Government & Health team supporting the Head of Education, Skills and Productivity, UK Head of Health, one Partner and 2 Directors. My key clients are the Public Sector ranging from Government organisations such as the NHS, Cabinet Office, Prisons and Education. This year has been a challenging year for our Department being at the forefront of delivering the COVID-19 response. Our clients have been hit dramatically from the Pandemic and it has been an all hands on deck approach for the past 18 months. I have had the privilege to work alongside projects such as the NHS Test & Track, some of the vaccination programmes, the potential opening of the Nightingale in London, the DEFRA shielding food parcels and the restoration of services, these are some career defining moments for me and my team.I am very accessible with strong communication skills, keeping everyone in the loop at all times with a strong network. I can and do operate at the most senior level, dealing with senior people effectively both managing and interacting with them, I am confident in maintaining client focus by ensuring the needs of both internal and external clients are at the forefront of my role. I am experienced in prioritising and delegating with excellent gatekeeping skills. I am hoping to get back to supporting a 1:2 or 1:1 radio as redundancies occurred in 2019 and we are now supporting more Partners & Directors with a Junior team dedicated to providing support to myself. I am part of the Canary Wharf PA group and I add value by mentoring junior secretaries to enable to them progress within the firm. Some of my accomplishments include saving £500 on an Away Day I organised due to relationships I have with outside organisations and I was at the forefront of winning a 15-25 million pound deal with a client. I ensure I search for the best deals on travel and will arrange virtual meetings when travel is not essential to cost save. I am an experienced Executive who is passionate about my career and take pride in my work. SkillsTeam player as well as individually drivenAbility to muti-task and prioritiseExtensive diary managementIT literate – Microsoft Word, Excel & PowerPointExcellent written, verbal and interpersonal skillsAdaptable, flexible and positive Global and UK travel organisationGreat attention to detailConfidentiality, discretion and diplomacy Touch typist
