I am Fiona Barton, a Virtual Executive Assistant with over thirty years experience organising and managing the business and private affairs for C-Suite Executives.

During my career, I have worked with The Metropolitan Police, Associated Press, Accenture, Macmillan Cancer Support, The Carbon Trust, International SOS and Time Out.
I was Diary Manager to the Archbishop of Canterbury and I am currently working alongside the CEO of The Church of England.
During COVID I had the honour of working alongside Sir Chris Whitty, the Chief Medical Officer at the Department of Health & Social Care on the Covid-19 response throughout the Pandemic.
