Helen was a true delight to work alongside. Conscientious and determined, she always strove to complete tasks to her best ability, often going above and beyond what was asked of her. She is a natural leader and her methodical, clear working processes were an inspiration to the rest of the team. Helen was also genuinely caring on a personal level, both to myself and other team members. She will be an excellent addition to any team!

The job title Office Manager doesn’t really describe what Helen does. Force of Nature is a more apt description. Whether its managing employee on boarding to taking total ownership for organizing international awards ceremonies, conferences and exhibitions, Helen grabs every task with both hands and manages it through to success. The entire organisation pivots around her and she is the go-to person for just about every tiny detail. Helen is an absolute pleasure to work with and is an enormous asset to any company looking for an Office Manager - I could not recommend her highly enough
