Orla Williams
Mature secretary and personal assistant Providing office support
I have been an office support person since the late 1990s, at first in the UK and more recently in Ireland after moving here. I recently returned to the workplace after some years as a homemaker and carer for parents, and have updated Secretarial qualifications via Pitman Ireland (with modules in Legal Secrertarial, but I would be very happy in any form of business or being a personal PA or secretary). I am returning to the workforce after some years as a homemaker and carer, having moved to Ireland.
​
I act as the Newsletter Officer for the Waterford Branch of Network Ireland, having joined in 2025.
I am dedicated to providing top-notch administrative services to professionals. I am committed to delivering efficient and reliable support to meet your needs whether in business or juggling busy personal affairs.
