SecsintheCity announces PA of the Year Awards 2016 winners

Previous PA Life cover star Amy Marsden was announced as PA of the Year 2016 at an awards ceremony hosted by SecsintheCity at The Ivy Restaurant on 10 November.

The winners of the PA of the Year Awards 2016 are:

• PA of the Year – Amy Marsden, World Remit
• Social Media PA of the Year – Janice Parker, Odgers Berndtson
• Legal PA of the Year – Georgie Theobald, Facebook
• Outstanding Achievement Award – Sue Fletcher, Department of Health

Amy Marsden is EA to the CEO at WorldRemit, an online money transfer provider – a role she was headhunted into in September. Following the announcement, Amy said: “I’m overwhelmed to have won SecsintheCity’s PA of the Year Award 2016.

“PAs don’t always get the recognition they deserve, but SecsintheCity does so much to showcase our talents with these awards; I would strongly advise any PA to put themselves forward when this comes around again next year.”

Along with her PA of the Year 2016 title, Amy will also enjoy a stay in a track-facing suite at Brooklands Hotel Surrey, including dinner and spa treatments.

The awards, sponsored by Tay Associates, were established five years ago to champion the professionalism of PAs and acknowledge their contribution to the organisations they work for.

Sarah EL-Doori, Head of Sales at SecsintheCity said: “This year the calibre of finalists was exceptionally high, with PAs from NSPCC, Imperial College London, McNicholas and Unilever all being nominated. We look forward to following our winners’ continued success in the future.”
