About me

I am a BA (Hons) degree level qualified professional PA and Secretary with over 25yrs experience working within corporate business.

I decided to set up TYPE-IT-NOW after the Covid Pandemic and the work from home revolution that happened at that time. I could actually work from home just as efficiently as in the office.

As a manager having to recruit administrative staff I realised how much more knowledge, skills and experience I had in comparison. There seems to be a distinct lack of applicants with actual typist/secretarial qualifications.

I have worked within many business areas including construction / property / dispute resolution working with Quantity & Building Surveyors and Adjudicators, Mediators and Party Representatives and I'm used to complex terminology.

Over the many years I have spent working in my professional career I have built up an in-depth knowledge of MS Office and can therefore format your documents, from Word to Excel, to a very high standard.

I take a pride in my work, have an eye for detail and can create all types of highly professionally finished documents.

I now provide an exceptional service to all my clients.
