It seems like only a few short months ago that
we were celebrating at last year’s Executive PA Magazine | Hays Awards – yet we have just weeks to go until the 2013 event! Here in the office we’ve been busy sifting though the numerous entries we received and putting the final touches to what promises to be a fantastic occasion. The evening is a celebration of all things PA – a chance to
recognise the hard work and dedication that administrators pour into UK businesses – and which often goes unrecogn - ised. But, if you remove the PA from a business we believe that business will be a poorer place, as a PA’s role is all about helping a business to thrive from the bottom up. We’re delighted to have with us this year Suzanne
Shaw as our guest speaker. Suzanne is the newest patron of The Brain Tumour Charity – an organisation that is close to her heart following the death of her father to the disease. Suzanne will be addressing our audience and with a career as varied as hers we’re sure she’ll be able to emphasise with the challenging nature of the PA’s role. We look forward to seeing you there!
