Hi! I'm Marion Jackson

I am an accomplished Executive Assistant with the organisational ability, initiative, natural flair and eye for detail needed to assist you and your company with your day-to-day requirements.

With 26 years relevant work experience I will combine my strong all-round office skills with plenty of energy to do what it takes to ensure assignments are completed efficiently and on time.

Most recently, my employment history spans two years in the Retirement Industry; two years in Infrastructure Maintenance; four years in the Prestige Motor Vehicle Industry and four years in the Commercial Real Estate Industry. I also spent 14 years in the Travel Industry, most of which was taking care of Corporate Travel arrangements.

On top of all that, I have also completed a Diploma of Professional Interior Design with The Interior Design Academy.

Other stuff about me...

I was born in Tanzania, East Africa and spent a number of years living in the south of England before eventually emigrating to New Zealand with my family.

I have an undeniable passion for anything to do with interior design (I call it ‘house porn’!) and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our 1970's home renovation.

My partner and I live in Auckland and we share our home with two very entertaining and affectionate Maine Coon cats. Maine Coon’s are the largest breed of domestic cat in the world and people often say they are the ‘dog lovers cat’.

Being a travel consultant for several years means I have visited many different places throughout the world. I am particularly fond of Fiji and have holidayed there 15 times! My burning passion is to visit Canada and experience cruising up the Alaskan coast.

My partner and I enjoy many fabulous trips away on our boat, in and around the Hauraki Gulf and over to the Coromandel. We escape away for a weekend (or longer!) whenever we can. After all, there’s nothing nicer than being out on the water on one of those balmy Auckland evenings, sipping a G’n’T and watching the sun go down...

So call now and let me get on with helping you with the day-to-day stuff, while you concentrate on the more important things ...like growing your business (or just relaxing while you watch the sun go down!)
