About me

I have been an Executive Assistant for over 10 years within Research International and latterly with TNS. With significant changes within the company over the years I have assisted over 7 managers. As everyone's needs are varied so has the role evolved. These changes have taught me to adapt to different situations and attitudes, never losing sight of my main function which was to ensure the smooth running of an office. Anticipating challenges, adaptability and a willingness to muck out to get the job done are attributes that have helped with all the managers I have assisted over the years.

To get a feel of what it is like to work with me, please have a read of my references on my LinkedIn account, link below.

"Kirsty gets the balance right: professional, responsive, conscientous and personable.

Working closely with Kirsty in her role supporting the Worldwide CEO I saw first hand her ability to multi-task, work under pressure and all the while retaining her sense of humour and a positive outlook.

Equally important was her ability to keep confidentialities (a critical part of the job) and build trust and good relationships with the people she worked with - whatever their level or role within the business.

Kirsty is a people person. Someone who cares about both the job and her colleagues. All in all, a great asset." Helen James

"Kirsty is possibly the most well organised, resourceful and pro-active person I have worked with. Always helpful, always willing to try something new and go the extra mile. She's the sort of person who anticipates issues, works out a solution and then lets you know that it's been sorted. Very strong IT and presentation preparation skills too. Charming, good humoured and a pleasure to work with." Karen Malivoire

"It was always a pleasure to work with Kirsty: 100% reliable and professional, turns projects around as quick as possible, a great teamplayer and yes, last but not least - it is fun to work with her." Richard Gehling

"I worked with Kirsty for years, initially as a client of RI when I was at Unilever, then as a colleague, and finally as head of the Qual and Innovation Unit. She is an efficient PA with great attention to detail. She takes great initiative with her work, and always provides a superior level of service, in a pleasant and friendly manner. I recommend her highly." Pamela Hamilton

"Kirsty is a great senior p.a. and office manager. She is very detailed, organized, has good buget control & powerpoint skills, very good calender manager, good client interface and super personal skills.I would highly recommend her and would be pleased to speak with anyone if they require a personal reference.
