My name is Susan Wardrope and I am the owner of VPA4U. I am a versatile and dependable administrative professional, with over 20 years experience in a variety of business and service environments.   Over time I have demonstrated my ability to prioritise and multi task in numerous demanding roles as an Executive/Personal Assistant and Office Manager to CEOs, Directors and General Managers; from a prominent Rugby League Football Team, to a leading Bank, Fragrance Importers and Distributors, Pharmaceutical, Solar Energy, one of the largest freight forwarding companies and a number of other prominent companies.

I am an extremely organised person with a systematic approach to the task at hand, from general correspondence, reports, board papers, agreements/contracts, spreadsheets or proposals.   I am proactive, self motivated, with the ability to work autonomously and stay on top of the task at hand.
