"So what is it that you actually do?" This is a question we often get asked. In terms of our administration services, there is no short way to describe the services that we offer, such is the broad and ever-expanding skill set available. In simple terms however, the relevant definitions are "the performance of executive duties" and "the management of any office, business, or organisation".

This covers many fields including communications, IT, research, accounts, diary management, events, travel and of course, paperwork. And being organised, organised, organised. And being able to anticipate the needs of your boss and team.

Administration is like the foundations of a building - great administration forms the strength on which the rest of your operation relies, and holds fast when tempestuous times cause the building to flex and sway.

Why is good administration important?

In terms of work consumption and productivity, administration is essential - it keeps the wheels of business turning efficiently and productively. All at once, admins can be doing accounts, drafting reports and correspondence, doing emails and fielding telephone calls! And priorities can shift at a moment's notice. Admins are brilliant multi-taskers.

The right admins are valuable assets to any business. They lighten the load and can be the most productive members of your team.

Just like many other career choices, there are various tiers to administration positions. These may range from receptionists to admin assistants/officers, to executive or personal assistants. No matter the title or seniority, admins of all calibres are your front line and the face of your business, and therefore the first impression of you; your front line is a reflection of the quality of your management and business as a whole.

This may all sound rather obvious, but let's face it, we have all encountered the "tell someone who cares!!!" receptionist! Selecting the right person for the job is absolutely vital if first impressions are important to you. Be very deliberate in your choice, always. And be prepared to support your admins in return - a little gratitude goes a long way!
