“We have had an impossible task to reduce the nominations down to 10 finalists and then interview them to pick this year’s winner,” explained David Stevens, Director of Pitman Training Newcastle and chairman of the Judging panel, along with last year’s winner, Julie Britt of NaREC. “As with last year, we’ve found that there is no such thing as a typical PA/secretarial role, but what comes across consistently is each finalist’s utter professionalism in supporting their boss, colleagues and organisation.”
