I never considered myself the type of person to need the support of a VEA. But when I reached breaking point, Katie answered my cry for help.
Within hours I was no longer near breaking.
Within days I was feeling better.
And within only a few weeks I was feeling ready, with Katie’s support, to take on anything.
Whether organising my diary, helping me tackle the mountain of emails, supporting with the preparation of papers or presentations, Katie’s diligent and professional approach kept me on top of everything. Katie also excelled at being a sounding board and critical friend, providing quality challenge that resulted in better business decisions better articulated to the business.
Thanks to my time working with Katie I am a life-long convert to the value of a quality EA!
Tom Ross, CFO at BHSF
I work with Katie and have found her incredibly responsive, competent and creative. She is thoroughly professional and enormously capable across many areas. Her technical competency is excellent, and she is extremely good at taking very limited, badly explained ideas and turning them into something cogent and well presented. She is also very good at strategic thinking and an excellent sounding board, unafraid of challenging positively in order to achieve better results. I couldn't recommend her more.
Avril Miller, Business Mentor & Non-Executive Director
Katie has been minuting our Board meetings for a number of months now and its been a very positive experience. She turns the drafts around very quickly, the level of accuracy is excellent and her understanding of governance has meant she has sought clarification to ensure we are clearly reflecting decisions which will be valuable should we need to revisit anything. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
Amanda Stranack, CEO at BSAVA
Katie is outstanding and I highly recommend her. She can balance the act of being both supportive but challenging where needed to ensure priorities are given the right attention. She has a great skill at being able to distil the important information and provide clarity and insight to ensure the right things get done. She is highly organised and can motivate those around her. Her skills are first class, and she is an asset to any project or role she performs.
Geoff Guerin, Strategy Director at IDEX
In the years that I worked with Katie, my team and I benefited greatly from her organisational skills and attention to detail. Katie will keep extremely sensitive, management decisions in the strictest confidence, and direct colleagues to appropriate support. I attended many meetings and conferences organised by Katie and all ran smoothly, without a hitch. She is dedicated, hardworking and approachable. Katie is an absolute asset to her colleagues and executive team.
Hayley Reid, Operations Manager at BHSF
Whilst Katie and I worked together we formed a really good working partnership as she supported all of my sales activities. Katie is very well organised and strives to offer complete customer service ensuring that things were delivered and followed on time. She really helped keeping me organised and focussed on selling rather than getting tied up with admin duties.
