Testimonials

Lianne and I have absolute clarity on our respective roles, an appreciation of our core values and motivations and a collective understanding of how we can get the best out of each other. With Claire’s help we have built a relationship of absolute trust, mutual support and open and regular communication and, we are now operating as a highly effective team.

Claire has extensive experience as an Executive PA and is a gifted coach and combines all of that first class IT skills. She is inspiring and engaging and has the unique ability to help you get to the nub of the issue, to uncover the thing that is holding you back. During our sessions Claire helped both Lianne and I break through barrier after barrier as well as developing and personalising a whole heap of support systems and tools that have taken our productivity on to the next level.

Working with Claire on this programme has been an incredible experience. If you are wondering whether it might be possible to become a better, more productive version of yourself or whether you might be able to achieve more by refining the way in which you and your PA (or you and your Director!) work, I would suggest you get in touch with Claire and work through this programme. I promise you, you will not look back!

I have learnt new techniques, skills and information to help me proactively in my work but I’ve also gained reassurance on what I’m doing well.

I really like your warm, kind and personable nature. You have a tremendous gift to create a trusting environment and getting people to open up but you also challenge and allow people the opportunity to face things that can be quite awkward and uncomfortable, but all in a respectful, safe and proactive way! Important balance! Everything is bespoke and useful and I really value your time!

Diolch o galon!!

Using Claire’s virtual PA services allows my business to run smoothly and seamlessly. From designing PowerPoint presentations to pulling documents together to make them look presentable, she has extensive detailed knowledge.

Her can-do attitude is rare and her super speedy response times are a life saver! It is a delight to work with Claire.

Claire provides a pivotal central point of contact and her diligence, responsiveness and attention to detail is second to none. She has been instrumental in helping us develop service delivery quality auditing and KPI systems, marketing collateral to include website enhancements, executive administration and office management support services.

Claire is an astute business person, with wide ranging knowledge and experience and I find our “brainstorming“ meetings invaluable in giving me an alternative perspective and adding a new dynamic to the overarching operational and growth potential of the Company. I have no hesitation in recommending Claire and Farrens and look forward to continuing our partnership for many years to come.

Claire recognised that I needed her to become an integral part of the team and as such she took time to fully understand the business, our brand and ethics. She is highly organised and professional and has a very personable manner – essential when dealing with our clients.

Claire also contributes some great ideas and energy and quickly became passionate about our business. In addition to the traditional PA role, Claire has the capability and flexibility to manage projects including social media and website updates. I trust her completely and in the time I have known her know consider her a friend. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

I know that Claire requires a challenge in her role at work, and as a result, this provides clients with an ambitious and self motivated achiever, who goes the extra miles to do the job and exceed expectations. Claire simply delivers to a high standard; and makes her job look easy!

On a personal note, Clare has a naturally confident and sunny disposition which motivates team members, yet is equally firm and reasonable when required. I have no hesitation recommending Claire as a professional in her field and I wish Claire all the luck she deserves!

I personally recruited Claire and over the next 4 years, she provided me with full PA support and detailed commercial analysis which was vital in assisting me with day to day management of the national and international sales teams. This support allowed me to fully concentrate on delivering the strategy and results required for the business to grow.

The level of support was beyond that of anything I considered as a PA role and I trusted her to manage client hospitality (both within the UK and overseas), rebates and financial accruals, sales performance tracking and the creation of customer facing presentations.

As you’d expect the full range of administrative duties were of a very high standard and an understanding of HR allowed her to take an active role in recruitment and team HR. I believe Claire made a significant contribution to the companies outstanding growth during that time and personally allowed me the time and security to deliver the corporate plan.

Claire is a diligent, motivated and highly competent personal assistant. Her attention to detail means that Claire can easily turn her hand from assisting on HR issues to marketing to drafting very polished power point presentations.

Her ability to second guess your needs and the effective use of her initiative means that she remains one step ahead of your needs. I cannot recommend Claire enough in a capacity as a full time PA or an interim basis.
