Qualifications

About Anita

I began my career working as an Executive Assistant in corporate head offices within the industrial/manufacturing and commercial property consultancy sectors.

After taking some time out to look after my two children, I went back to work in 2015. I joined Paul’s team as his Personal Assistant. My skills transferred seamlessly into the financial services sector and with a willingness to learn, I have become an integral member of the team.

In my role, I ensure that the business is running smoothly as well as supporting the team in ensuring that new and existing clients receive the high level of service to which they have become accustomed.

The part of my job I enjoy the most...

Working in a fast-paced environment, my role demands someone who is organised. I enjoy utilising my organisational skills and thrive on tackling numerous new and exciting tasks.

When I'm not at work, you'll find me...

Enjoying an active lifestyle, with resistance training and spin classes as my favourites. With a keen interest in holistic therapies and biohacking, I am constantly delving into research to deepen my understanding of these subjects.

 

Nice to meet you

Aside from necessities, what one thing could you not go a day without?

I couldn’t go a day without some form of exercise or a workout – it’s essential for my well-being!

What makes you laugh?

Mr Bean and Frank Spencer in Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em.

If you had to take part in Karaoke, what would be your song of choice?

I am not really into karaoke – I am more of a 90s raver! But if I absolutely had to participate, my song of choice would be “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone” by Paula Cole.

 

Which celebrity would you most like to meet up for a coffee / glass of wine and why?

Dame Kelly Holmes’ story is truly inspiring, transitioning from her military career to becoming a celebrated international athlete and double Olympic Champion. Her journey exemplifies unparalleled determination and a relentless pursuit of success, making her a beacon of inspiration for many.

 

What’s on your bucket list?

I would combine two items on my bucket list. I’ve always dreamed of witnessing the Aurora Borealis and what better place to experience it than in Iceland!

 

What three items would you take with you to a desert island?

Dora the Explorer’s backpack, water and my crazy Sprocker Spaniel, Cassie!

What’s your proudest accomplishment?

Purchasing our first home within a year of relocating to the UK, through dedication, hard work and no social life!

Have you ever met anyone famous? – story please!

I haven’t met anyone famous. Once, I attempted to meet Kim Kardashian at Westfield London, but I eventually abandoned the idea because my family felt so embarrassed.

What is the best gift you’ve ever been given?

The carefree childhood I experienced growing up in Africa! The simplicity and joy of those days instilled in me a deep appreciation for nature, resilience and a profound sense of belonging.
