The Primo office would fall apart without Bella Harrison, who keeps an impressive number of plates spinning at all times. Bella makes sure everyone gets paid on time, welcomes new starters to the company and gets in the all-important snacks for team-building days like the board games afternoon planned to celebrate our latest Kickstarter campaign.
I’m responsible for…
The day-to-day running of the office, which encompasses a wide range of diverse tasks.
On a typical day…
I am very, very busy! I manage the office personnel, wear the human resources hat and assist the C-Level management team. I attend managerial meetings, respond to heaps of correspondence, onboard new employees, write company policies and handbooks, deal with invoices and payments, complete payroll, keep track of office supplies, arrange travel and visas and order our weekly food shop!
I got here…
Because I like variety and wanted a job where no two days are the same.
In my past life…
I was a professional dancer at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden.
My most memorable work moment…
Was dancing for and meeting the Queen!
The best part of my job…
Is that I get to interact with everyone and I’m never bored.
The most challenging part of my job…
Is juggling multiple projects at once.
My special talent…
Is having eyes in the back of my head. I don’t miss a trick… I’m a mum!
Outside of work…
I’m a mum of two kids and a strategic intervention coach.
My signature dish…
I make a mean mac and cheese ?
I’m inspired by…
Maya Angelou… An incredible woman who inspired millions.
When I retire…
I am going to sit on a beach somewhere hot and write books.
If I wasn’t an office manager…
I would like to be a director in theatre.
My advice to someone who wants to get into this line of work…
Get organised! Have a list of suppliers, travel agents, etc that can help you do your job quickly and efficiently, and enjoy it!
