Claire joins The Passionate PA

Claire Bartlett joins the team as our franchisee for the New Forest and Salisbury. Completing her intensive training in early February, she’ll be ready for ‘launch’ in early 2018.

The Passionate PA is celebrating its second decade of operations, with the exciting appointment of Claire Bartlett who will be The Passionate PA for the New Forest and Salisbury. Claire will be offering entrepreneurs and business owners our core range of services ranging from one-off administrative tasks to project and event management. Claire also has exceptional experience in team leadership and business development so is looking forward to sharing this experience with her clients.

Claire’s career has included 17 years at the banking and financial services multinational JP Morgan in Bournemouth where she excelled as head of a team of specialist portfolio managers. More recently she was a business development manager for the Fordingbridge-based office supplies company.

Claire says “I’m really looking forward to helping ambitious people grow their businesses and organisations. It can be really intense running a business and you quickly experience ‘to do’ lists that can easily overflow. That’s where The Passionate PA offers tremendous value. We work in partnership with clients, discussing priorities face-to-face, taking the strain off their shoulders and supporting them to drive change, build momentum and generate results.”

Franchisor of The Passionate PA, Kate Chastey added “More and more clients are appreciating the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of using a freelance executive PA, a ‘super-PA’ if you like, as they seek to grow their businesses. Because each of our franchisee is a business owner, and we all have exposure to lots of other ambitious businesses, we often add so much more value than an employed PA.”

Claire is joining Kate, Dominique and Debbie, at the same time as fellow ‘newbie’ Jenni Bowman.
