Expertise
Dianne started as an “older junior” doing copying and everyday administration functions within the Firm. She then took on responsibility for all office stationary, an essential supply to the smooth running of a legal business as well as undertaking substantial copying of long and important legal documents. She was also responsible for the office post and generally kept things running smoothly. In March of 2006 Dianne started to prepare legal packages for the Housing Department as well as continuing with her own admin role.
Since officially joining the Housing team in October 2006 Dianne has worked on new developments from creating the files to preparing the package and covering correspondence prior to sending them out.
Dianne is very proud of her promotion to this department and thoroughly enjoys the work.
Personal
Dianne enjoys socialising and shopping but nothing better than relaxing in the armchair with a glass of chilled white wine.
