It's time for the hidden stars of the office to step into the limelight.

Nominations for the 8th annual PA of the Year Awards are now open, giving the chance to acknowledge and celebrate the hard graft that PAs or EAs put in behind the scenes.

And if you are a Personal Assistant who goes above and beyond in your role and think it’s about time you received some recognition, you can nominate yourself for one of the awards.

Hosted by SecsintheCity, the UK’s only job board dedicated to PA, EA and office support roles, the glitzy and glamorous awards ceremony will take place at London’s iconic The Ivy.

With three awards to be won – PA of the Year, Legal PA of the Year and Office Manager of the Year – there are plenty of prizes up for grabs.

This year, the nomination opening date coincides with Administrative Professionals Day – a day for recognising and celebrating the contributions that secretaries, administrative assistants and other office support professionals make to their places of work.

Nominations are open from 24 April to 13 September 2019, when a panel of expert judges will shortlist candidates and invite them to interview, before winners are announced at The Ivy on Thursday 7 November.

To nominate yourself or a colleague for this significant career accolade, head over to the SecsintheCity website and fill out the online nomination form .
