Amazing Assistants ✨

The role of the Executive Assistant is constantly evolving — and Abigail Jones is a brilliant example of how today’s assistants are becoming strategic partners, trusted problem-solvers, and influential voices within their organisations.

In our latest Amazing Assistants feature, Abigail shares insights into the changing EA landscape, the importance of adaptability, and how assistants continue to drive real business impact behind the scenes.

From organisation and communication to leadership and strategic thinking, the modern assistant role is more dynamic than ever — and we love celebrating the professionals leading the way.
