 Portrait #06: Lindsay Newell
Assistant (London, UK) Could you describe your job?
Busy! I am the assistant to David Evans, the U.K. Senior Partner for Mazars, and my job is to make sure that everything in his workday runs smoothly. My responsibilities lead me to carry out normal executive assistant tasks (managing David's agenda, typing mail, etc), as well as organising the UK Executive meetings.
I am also in frequent contact with associates from various offices and in different countries when organising meetings. What is your professional background?
I joined Neville Russell (today Mazars UK) twelve years ago. I had previously been personal assistant to a partner in the management consultancy department of Coopers & Lybrand (today Price Waterhouse Coopers). I began my professional career at Xerox, in Glasgow, which is where I am from, after receiving secretarial qualifications in college.
What would you say to someone looking to join Mazars?
Quite simply that you should apply! Mazars is a company which offers many opportunities to people who are willing to work, and play, hard. In my opinion, Mazars in an organisation where we try to find a balance between work and family life, where we work hard but also know how to be understanding of employees' personal and family obligations.
What motivates you the most?
Happiness! I am happy when everything I have organised falls into place - which in turn makes David happy!
