Festivities wrapped up

This issue we have Christmas on our minds – which is why you’ll find several pieces dedicated to helping PAs get the festive celebrations underway! On page 24we speak to the experts to find out what makes the ideal corporate gift and have some top gift suggestions for you. A festive lunch is the ideal way to reward hard working staff, so on page 33 we explore some of the UK’s best restaurants and find out what they have available. We’re also asking whether two jobs are better than

one, in our feature on portfolio careers (page 40). For entrepreneurial PAs they offer the ideal solution to fulfilling a dream ambition with the added bonus of job security. It may not be right for everyone but having more than one career under your belt at any one time can certainly rapidly expand your skills. As usual we’re also speaking to PAs to find out all about

their careers. In this issue you’ll find an interview with Merryl Futerman – PA to funny man Julian Clary (page 9) plus we catch up with three PAs who’ve been awarded an MBE (page 12). If you’re inspired to take your career to new heights turn to page 18 to find out how you could be an Executive PA Magazine winner.
