Welcome to another issue of Executive PA
magazine. We’re delighted to announce that we’ve secured a rather special venue for the Executive PA Magazine | Hays awards. Readers are invited to join us at the London Film Museum in County Hall, Southbank where they can relax with a glass of fizz, chat to colleagues and explore some of the fascinating film exhibits. The Rotunde Room is sure to be a spectacular backdrop for the awards so we look forward to welcoming you – turn to page 12 for more details. If you’re planning on travelling around the Capital
during the summer months you need to be prepared for delays and disruption – we’re here to help page 38. Or you could ditch the idea of travelling to London for meetings altogether and go virtual. On page 30 we take a look at online meetings and how to make them work for you. Plus we have loads of content on the working lives of
PAs including Yvonne Bignall (page 22) who started life as a PA and now works as a trainer and an interview with Cassandra Kendall (page 8) PA to Karren Brady. Have a great month!
