TIME TO SHOUT ABOUT YOUR HARD WORK

We have received hundreds of entries for our 2018 PA of the Year Awards – but we know there’s lots more talent out there.

It’s the seventh year of the prestigious awards that shine a light on the country’s most talented PAs. We have teamed up with SecsintheCity, the UK’s only job site for personal assistants, executive assistants and secretaries, to find the best.

We are looking for those PAs who are the backbone of firms, working tirelessly to ensure everything runs like clockwork.

So, come on bosses, show your appreciation for your amazing assistant and all their hard graft. It’s time to nominate them for the ultimate career accolade.

Or, if you are a PA and feel like you’ve earned a shot at the shortlist, get your nomination in now. It’s worth it, not only for the kudos of winning one of these prized awards, but for the fabulous prizes up for grabs.

There are three categories: PA of the Year, Legal PA of the Year and Social Media PA of the Year.

Susanna Tait, chief executive of TAY Associates and chairwoman of the judging panel, says that when choosing winners, she looks for PAs with “a genuine passion for their profession and someone who embraces the challenges, hurdles and problems to solve”.

Winners will be announced at a swish awards ceremony at London’s Ivy Restaurant on November 8.

Prizes include a trip to Paris for two and a spa weekend.
