About Me

I first learned to touch type at school when I was 15 years of age.  I managed to achieve my first Typewriting Certificate (CSE Grade 2) using a typewriter.   

When I left school, at the age of 16, I was delighted to get my first job as a Secretary, working for a Manager of a large UK based organisation.  My typing in those days was done on a Wang Word Processor.  Then came the introduction of the PC, which was "bliss".

I now have well over 20 years’ experience, working as a Secretary for both Management, Directorate, (which also includes Board Directorate) within a variety of UK Based Companies, both large and small.  I can honestly say that I have had a very interesting, exciting and valued career working in an office.

But after having had a career break bringing up my two children, who were both at secondary school at the time, I decided that this was just the right time to start up my own typing business working from home.  This meant I could still continue with my career, but it would also enable me to enjoy my family life too!

I have a variety of interests.  Some of these include:  Swimming, Reading, Gardening and Cross-Stitch.

I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
