First of all, welcome to those who have already joined this group.

I'm Angela, based in Derbyshire in the East Midlands in the UK, and
have been a P.A. since 1995. In my current job, I'm P.A. to the
group's Managing Director, and am also the Project Co-ordinator where
I am in charge of several recruitment databases and the group's
various websites.

I began working in admin during summer vacations whilst I studied for
a degree (1987 onwards), and started full-time work as an Admin
Assistant in 1991 after graduating. I've worked in various roles in
the water industry, an environmental regulatory body, two
universities, an engineering firm, a seaport and two management
consultancies, and have spent the last 12 years working directly for
Chief Executive / Managing Director / Deputy Vice Chancellor roles.

My current employers are CNA International
(www.cnainternational.co.uk), and in my spare time I'm in a band
(www.myspace.com/mainstreetuk).

On my LinkedIn profile, I've got over 2860 first degree contacts, and
am linked to approximatly 6.6 million of the 14 million LinkedIn
users. My aim is for this group to be a place where PAs, EAs and VAs
and all others in Administration can learn, share, help each other and
grow.



Angela
