Chantrey Vellacott see Moore Stephens LLPPA & Marketing Coordinator
Apr. 2012 - Sep. 2013London, United KingdomPA to two partners of the firm, and heads of the Business Recovery Division.
Co-ordinator of Marketing & Events for the BRD London Office I worked as a PA for the lead Partner of the Business Recovery Division, as well as the HR Partner in BRD. I was also in charge of solely co-ordinating the BRD London central marketing events. These consisted of both small and large events (12 – 80 people) every 2-3 months. I was also required to monitor, manage and co-ordinate the partners marketing activity, as well as general administration tasks (phones, diary management, flight/hotel bookings, partners’ expenses, post, meeting arrangements, typing). This included working with very confidential documents and adhering to the data protection act. In addition, I was required to hold marketing meetings and present to senior lead partners of the firm. This enabled me to obtain feedback from previous, decide on upcoming and carry out future events of a high standard within our given budget. This entailed liaising and negotiating with various clients and companies (mainly on a cold call basis), researching for the best deals and making my own informed decisions based on what I have been given to work with. Through co-ordinating, attending and hosting these events alongside the Partners, I have had to deal with very senior people in the industry on a regular basis, as well as host them at the events, in which case my people skills and love for meeting new people came in very handy. My confidence has been enhanced through doing this. I have had many positive reviews from our clients following the events I have organized and managed, and have made and maintained good relationships with our client base to this day. Precision in co-ordination, time management, attention to detail, and confidence to played a vital part in this role.
