Employment History
Perenco UK Limited Jan 2006 – April 2014
Chelsea, London
Oil and Gas Industry
Executive Assistant / Office Manager
On arrival at Perenco UK Limited in 2006 I implemented new systems to ensure the
smooth running of the office. Once discussions had been instigated with individual
members of the management team changes were able to be made to record and
simplify procedures moving towards quality assurance.
Perenco being a French company employing staff from around the world, it was
helpful to be a Londoner when assisting the ex-pats to assimilate.
Having created a cohesive role, duties included:
 organising the General Manager’s day, pre-empting attendance of meetings,
lunches and other functions as scheduled, ensuring appropriate documents were
prepared in advance;
 extensive diary management;
 intricate travel arrangements, creating travel itineraries and updates on changes
in plans;
 liaising and building relationships with members of staff and joint venture
companies in writing and by telephone;
 drafting, correcting and typing correspondence, proactively acting on incoming
emails as appropriate;
 creating and maintaining contact lists;
 creating expense claim forms;
 compiling financial reports and financial statements;
 ordering supplies and stationery;
 arranging company Christmas lunches;
 training and supervising a receptionist;
 providing reception cover;
 a fierce fire warden;
 other ad-hoc duties enabling myself and others to achieve their goals in the most
effective manner.

Personal Statement
I like to bring enthusiasm and humour to my life, fired by a deep interest in personal
development, both for myself and others. This has resulted in an on-going study of
psychotherapy, kinesiology and various other complementary health therapies based on
energy work. An enjoyable evening out for me consists of a tasty meal followed by a trip to
the cinema. I ride a bicycle on a daily basis and owned a middle weight motorcycle for many
years.
