About Me
I started work as a Solicitors’ receptionist and office junior and progressed to Secretary, PA and finally EA working for Housebuilders, Estate Agents and Housing Associations. Having worked at Chief Executive and Board level for over 25 years I’ve gained invaluable transferable experience, knowledge and skills.
Keen to gain an academic qualification “to prove my worth” I attended evening classes in 1989 and achieved the LCC Private & Executive Secretarial Diploma – with distinction!
I’m flexible, resourceful, trustworthy and pro-active with the enthusiasm and commitment to deliver results with a positive ‘can do’ attitude – I love to find solutions to problems, turning challenges into opportunities. I’m a highly skilled communicator and enjoy building and maintaining great working relationships with assertiveness, humour and emotional intelligence enabling me to liaise effectively across all levels.
I took redundancy in March 2019 and decided to go freelance ………….so here I am!

Robert Nettleton
Chief Executive - Bromford
Impressed me from the start!
Sue is an extremely good Executive PA. She is very professional and really committed. She takes pride in doing a great job and likes to play a key role in our business.
She embraces change, is happy to share her vast knowledge and experience, constantly delivers and is a solution finder with a “can do” approach.
Sue builds great relationships with people at all levels, is organised and highly competent undertaking every project and task with focus and passion in a courteous and efficient manner. Sue always has a smile and is a pleasure to work with.
Mick Kent
FRICS OBE – Chief Executive -Bromford 1984-2015
Sue took on a wide range of roles for me & was chiefly a superb PA and a brilliant support lifeline to a very busy – and successful – Board and Executive team. She has a phenomenal range of talents over and above those you’d expect from a diligent and brilliantly organised PA. Always well liked and popular with colleagues across all disciplines and at all levels, Sue has the flexibility and keenness to continue to learn and adapt with technology and the changing times no matter the size or complexity of tasks thrown her way.
If you are looking for 100% reliability, superb attention to detail and a wonderfully likeable personality to boot, Sue is your ‘person-Friday’. She will juggle a very full day to day diary with a wide range of one-off projects, always results-focussed, tracking progress and ensuring work is completed to an extraordinarily high standard.
In short, Sue is a first class role model PA and I could not have achieved the successes at Bromford without her.
Philippa Jones
Executive Director/CEO - Bromford 1988- 2018
But I’ve worked with her at Bromford for much longer than that. Over our 30 years together at Bromford I have seen Sue grow as the business has grown and as she supported a number of executive directors and three chief executives.
As our world and the working environment have changed radically over the years, Sue continued to adapt her skills and approach without ever compromising those characteristics that are core to her – total integrity, loyalty, scrupulous attention to detail and an automatic reflex to think of others.
So whether it’s a memo in triplicate on a typewriter in 1988 or a tweet on an ipad now it always comes from a deeply embedded commitment to get it right for the organisation, for our customers and for her colleagues. Her capacity for sheer hard work is incredible and she will always do whatever is required to achieve the right outcomes when the pressure is on.
Sue will turn her hand to pretty much anything and is always keen to learn new skills and experiences so I am very confident that if you need some help, whether for a one-off project or just to take some pressure off yourself, you can rely on Sue to deliver.
Helen Collins - Savills

Clare Paterson - CP Data Protection
Data Protection Consultant
I was delighted to be the first customer of SuePA!
Sue is a true professional, and has a heart of gold. Working with Sue is an absolute pleasure; not only does she help to organise me in an efficient way, and take on urgent work whenever I need her, but she is so supportive and calm that I feel like a weight has been lifted when we work together…. and the best thing is, I know she would never make me feel embarrassed about the state of my messy files before she gets them sorted out!
