She’s created a vibrant, exciting network and in just a couple of years the network has gone from it’s infancy to being nominated for the Manchester PA Awards as ‘best external network’.

Sarah’s talent for building relationships, recruiting and connecting people, as well as her extensive EA experience is a great foundation for launching Strategic PA Recruitment, a company focused on placing professional career Executive and Personal Assistants, Chief of Staff and Office Managers into organisations that understand and truly value the Business Support function within a business.

Sarah lives in Wooburn Green, Buckinghamshire with her husband and two young boys. She loves spending time outside and is a member of the National Trust frequenting Cliveden most weekends.
