    “As my assistant, Judith managed a whole range of topics including co-ordinating blogs and responses through the internal social media channels, organising events, executive meetings and offsites, and not to mention giving me exceptional secretarial and business support.  Judith was able to work independently for my benefit, with the ability to maintain focus and regularly re-prioritise.  I am sure that she was critical to my success in my role.”
