Abigail Langridge

Diverse to say the least! I fell into being a legal secretary after dropping out of University resulting from my mum moving abroad quite suddenly and me having a nervous breakdown.

I did work as Cabin Crew on the Seacat for a season before I became a Conveyancing secretary.

I bounced around trying to find my feet in a company as well as personally and started to work in the City, at a large law firm.

Over the next 15 years I never really felt `at home` for long but I wouldn`t find out why until I started my own business much later.

My corporate time in the various firms highlighted to me just how much I yearned for the 1:1 support, the earlier days as a Secretary suited me better as I was able to work closer with the Principal and be what I still today perceive to be as a true PA.

Since going it alone, I have worked for a variety of clients; Barristers and Solicitors, property entrepreneurs, C-Suite executives and a wonderful 80year old lady who wins the award for my best ever client! Working alongside her showed me my true potential, opened the doors to how much more I really wanted from my career and how I could help more clients, by offering a variety of services.

I came out of the pandemic thriving and have had to pick myself up countess times, but the resilience and lessons learned enable me to go again!
