Specialist jobs board SecsintheCity is looking to honour the UK's best personal and executive assistants as it launches its Annual PA of the Year Awards.
The site - owned by BusinessLive parent Reach plc - has opened nominations for its annual awards for PAs, EAs, Legal PAs and office managers.
The event aims to celebrate the essential support provided by Personal and Executive Assistants to the businesses and individuals they work for.
PA of the Year Award nominations will close on September 2, after which a judging panel will interview a shortlist of finalists to select a winner in each of the following categories:
- PA of the Year
- Legal PA of the Year
- Office Manager of the Year
Suzanna Tait, chief executive of TAY Associates and judge of the awards, says she is proud to be “championing brilliant personal assistants".
She added: "With the traditional ‘office’ workplace changing immeasurably over the past two years, it’s more important than ever to recognise the talents of those supporting executives through one of the most challenging times in business history.”
Sarah EL-Doori, Marketing Director of SecsintheCity, says the awards are designed "to champion the profession". She added: "As the role continues to evolve, it's vital that PAs and EAs recognise the value they bring to their managers, teams, and organisations."
Sarah-Jayne Makin, PA to the CEO of SYSTRA Ltd, and winner of the PA of the Year Award in 2021, said: "It feels fantastic and humbling to have been recognised in this way and from such a strong calibre of entrants.
"It was truly inspiring to see the level of commitment, talent, diversity and passion that exists in our profession today, I am honoured to be a part of it!”
