Name:
Steph
Area of expertise:
Executive Assistant/PA – Board Level
When & why did you join Get Ahead:
I joined Get Ahead in March 2026 with a view to gaining freelance work using my previous expertise.
What did you do before you joined Get Ahead:
I have for the last 2.5 years worked as a Data and Exams Assistant at a local school to enable me to be more present at home. Prior to this I was a company director for a haulage/consultancy firm. I also have over 20 years’ experience of senior office roles such as a board level PA.
Career highlight to date:
One of my main highlights of my career was undertaking a ‘Project Management’ role to relocate the central logistics team (over 60 staff members) to design a “Logistics House” in a disused building on site. This required huge organisation and was smoothly implemented.
Plans for the future:
My plans for the future would be to find regular VA roles where I can fully use my previous PA experience. I have worked in various office environments and feel I have a lot to give in this sector.
