Experience

I have 35 years’ secretarial experience and for the past 30 years I was employed as a legal secretary at Womble Bond Dickinson (UK) LLP (formerly Dickinson Dees and Bond Dickinson (Law Firm) in Newcastle upon Tyne.

The main content of my work was typing, amending and formatting long legal documents, which I really enjoyed, as well as day to day administration and monthly financial billing.  Within this role my duties were also to manage diaries, arrange internal and external meetings, arrange national and international travel.
