About Joanne
With over 24 years of experience working in the Financial Services industry, I have provided high-level admin support across multiple business areas, including, Digital Solutions, Customer Experience, and Learning & Development, and for the last 8 years as Executive Assistant to the CEO of first direct.
Throughout my career, I’ve developed a comprehensive skill set that covers all facets of assistant work. Starting as a Team Administrator, then Personal Assistant to Executive Assistant.
Beyond my day-to-day role, I am a passionate advocate for the Assistant profession.

I have also been a proud member of The PA Hub for a number of years. I love to network!
