************************

I would be very pleased to recommend Lesley Taylor of Cravenhouse Secretarial Services at any time! Lesley has helped out , at short notice and made light work of a huge pile of typing and admin. She is calm and efficient, totally organised and worked steadily in a corner of our office. She even rearranged her other work to fit us in! I feel very reassured to know that Lesley is just a phone call away next time I am buried under a backlog of paperwork”.

"Lesley Taylor of Cravenhouse Secretarial Services is always reliable and provides a flexible service, often fitting in additional hours for us at short notice.  Lesley fits in with our staff working as part of the team when she is here. We do not feel like we are employing a temp and we have trusted her to man the office when we have been out on staff training meetings. 

Lesley soon learnt to use a fairly complicated back office system.   Lesley is always cheerful and polite to our clients.  She provides an efficient service which I am happy and confident to recommend".

"Lesley worked as my personal assistant in a legal secretary role dealing with Family Law issues, preparing legal correspondence and documentation for presentation to courts and other third parties involved. Liasing with clients on my behalf she took everything in her stride on very personal and confidential matters in a very caring and professional manner. Lesley has many years of experience working in an office environment and has the ideal skills necessary for a good secretary dealing with all levels of office administration. She is very reliable, hardworking and conscientious about her work and is highly organised and easy to work with. I would have no hesitation in recommending her for any secretarial role she applied herself to".

"I employed Lesley as secretary to the fundraising and appeals department at the Blond McIndoe Centre, Queen Victoria Hospital .  The role required someone who had excellent typing and computer skills, to be highly organised and able to liaise with professional persons and members of the public.  All of this she did to an exceptional level.  Many of the charity's donors and supporters were very fond of her and would include her in the invitation to special events.

Working in a fundraising department requires a person to be flexible and prepared to be hands-on.  This Lesley certainly was; she never complained about helping out at events, carting equipment around the country and working late if deadlines needed to be met.

Lesley's work was always of a high standard indicative of the commitment she applied across the board!".

"Lesley Taylor commenced her role within our company as a full time Team Secretary/Personal Assistant to our Managing Director/Chartered Engineer John Hickmott and also our Geotechnical Engineer Haupeng Chen. Lesley has excellent secretarial skills with advanced knowledge of Microsoft applications and software. In the time that Lesley was employed with Southern Testing she worked conscientiously, mixed well with the engineers, technicians, other secretaries and clerical staff. She was always punctual. The company was able to assist Lesley with homeworking for two months during the period of caring for her mother. Lesley completed a complete re-type of the Company’s Quality Assurance Manual, together with the creation of numerous new forms required. This was a difficult task, yet Lesley made no fuss and completed the project very successfully".

"Lesley Taylor was employed by this Company as a part-time Keyboard Operator for nearly six years. She was employed as a Typesetter for the series of local weekly newspapers, both paid-for and free. Lesley was accurate, reliable, conscientious and a good timekeeper. She left the company due to the total closure of the Department. I would have no hesitation in employing her again should the occasion arise. I would like to thank her on behalf of Tridant Press, and of the newspapers she has helped to produce during her employment and extend my best wishes to her for the future”.

"Lesley was employed for five and a half years by this Company as a part-time keyboard operator within our Origination Department. Unfortunately due to the introduction of new technology within the Group, and the closure of the Origination Department at Edenbridge, Lesley was made redundant. Her work was always accurate and fast and her timekeeping was excellent. Lesley was a very helpful and pleasant member of our staff, and we would not hesitate to recommend her for any similar position”. 

Ray Law, Origination Manager, Tridant Press, 56 Station Road, Edenbridge, Kent, TN8 6EA

“I know that Peter Sealey has written to Lesley Taylor to thank her for her services to Tridant Press but I would like to also take this opportunity to personally add my thanks. The situation since the change of ownership of Trinity Newspapers Southern Limited has been a difficult one for Lesley and her colleagues at Tridant because of the obvious need to introduce new technology. The commitment which Lesley continued to show to the Company in carrying out her duties in what were clearly difficult circumstances is therefore very much appreciated and, on a personal note, may I offer her my best wishes for the future”.
