Lucy Shannon

A highly organised and personable PA / Events Coordinator with a strong background in business support, office management, stakeholder coordination, and event organisation within fast-paced corporate environments. With over 10 years of professional experience prior to taking time out to raise three children, I bring proven skills in diary management, scheduling, travel planning, project coordination, and delivering seamless operational support. As a full-time mum of three, I have further strengthened my multitasking, problem-solving, time management, and organisational abilities, balancing complex daily logistics with efficiency and calm under pressure.

Known for being proactive, reliable, approachable, and detail-focused, I am now looking to bring my professional experience and enhanced personal organisational strengths back into a PA or events-focused role where I can support teams, manage priorities, and help deliver exceptional experiences.
