Celebrate the people who keep your business running

Running a successful business requires determination, commitment, energy – and a great PA or secretary – something that we at TurnstoneHR are encouraging all local businesses to recognise.

Although this person’s job title might not necessarily be PA or Secretary, it is the person who provides the day-to-day support to the business owner or manager enabling their boss to concentrate on the key task of driving the business forward.

To recognise these people we  are hosting a PA/Secretary of the Year Awards ceremony in February 2014 to celebrate these often unsung heroes of the regional economy.

Our Commercial Director, Rob Cairns, stated: “A great PA or secretary has the potential to make a huge difference to how effective a business is. Not only do they keep things running day to day, but they also help to make sure a manager’s time is time well spent.”

He continued: “We decided to hold an awards ceremony for PAs and secretaries in the South Cumbria/North Lancashire area as we believe that it is important to recognise how vital their role is – and to celebrate those individuals who go above and beyond the call of duty to support their employer.”

A special celebratory lunch will be held at Castle Green Hotel in Kendal on 28 February 2014 at which the following awards will be made:

• PA/Secretary of the Year 2013
• Runner Up
• Best event organised by a PA/Secretary

The prize for the winner is a fabulous overnight stay in an Executive Suite at The Castle Green Hotel and an hour’s spa treatment in The Green Rooms at the hotel (kindly donated by The Castle Green Hotel).

The runner up will receive a bottle of Champagne and the winner of the best event will receive a hamper full of Hawkshead Relish goodies.

So, if you are a business based in the South Cumbria or North Lancashire region and have a PA or secretary that you think should receive one of these prestigious awards, please contact either Rob Cairns on 01229 615285; 07730 163034; rob.cairns@turnstonehr.com or Claire Jarvis on 01229 615288; claire.jarvis@turnstonehr.com for an application form.
