If you are a business owner, you have many tasks to fulfil during your day, but many of them could be things you dislike doing, something you can’t do yourself or maybe something you shouldn’t be doing, leaving you less time to focus on the core operations of your organisation. My job is to provide personal, executive and administrative support to businesses.

Who is "Your Personal Assistant" ?

YPA is managed by myself, Annette Eustace, and I am a experienced Personal and Executive Assistant dedicated to providing outstanding customer service. I have worked in office administration and retail management for over twenty years and loved every moment of them. Over ten years were spent working at Superquinn, one of Ireland`s most successful and well-known retail brands, in various management and business administration roles before moving on to work for O Brien Fine Foods, award winning producer of leading premium cooked meats brand Brady Family.

I started in O Brien Fine Foods in the role of Sales Support Executive in 2008 assisting the National Sales Manager managing a team of Business Development Representatives. Within my time with the company I also worked with the Marketing department coordinating all company trade shows and events (among them: Bloom in the Park, National Ploughing and Taste of Dublin) and also in the HR department as Recruiting Coordinator for a year facilitating the flow of candidates through the recruitment process. I was promoted to Executive Assistant to the Managing Director in 2008. This was a very diverse role and as well as providing full administrative support and ensuring the most effective use of time I was more importantly a strategic partner and trusted confidant. Such was my passion for my work that in 2018 I decided to start my own company. This is where I developed the idea for “Your Personal Assistant”

Annette`s skills will be an asset to any Business!

John O Brien

Managing Director

O Brien Fine Foods

Annette worked directly with me as my Executive Assistant for 10 years. This was a wide and varied role, supporting both me and the business. Annette is extremely organized and efficient with her time as well as being excellent in managing other people’s time. She has supported me in everything I have done and I can honestly say I or the business would not have achieved what it has without her. I have trusted her with the most confidential information and she has always treated it in the most professional way. She has offered advice and her opinion both when it was wanted and not wanted but she was never scared to tell what she thought and this is what I miss the most. Annette`s skills will be an asset to any Business!

I worked with Annette for over 3 years and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Annette has excellent written and verbal communication skills and is extremely organized and she was always the “go-to” person in the office & if she didn’t know the answer or how to do something, she amazed us with her ability to quickly figure it out or find someone who could help. She is very resourceful. Annette went above & beyond in her roles and always gives 100% in everything she does. Because of this Annette regularly received additional responsibilities. Annette is very approachable and personable which meant she was highly regarded by her colleagues and management alike. I believe Annette will be an asset to any person/business requiring her services.

Annette is very approachable and personable which meant she was highly regarded by her colleagues and management alike.

Head of Marketing

O’Brien Fine Foods

I have worked with Annette for many years; she has always been highly organised, extremely diligent and highly pro-active. Annette always took a leadership role in organising internal company events from the Summer BBQ, the Christmas party and our Christmas shop. Annette is fantastic at organising consumer events such as Bloom in the Park, Taste of Dublin and an even a stand at Electric Picnic. Annette understands all the elements involved in delivering winning consumer and food events to ensure that the consumer get the best experience.. This goes from food safety, staff management, print & design and consumer interactions. Annette understands all the key elements and knows how to deliver them efficiently and on budget. She would be a strong asset to any individual or organisation.

As Annette`s colleague and Manager, I've benefited from her creative problem-solving, tireless work ethic, and willingness to do whatever it takes to not only get the job done but to help ensure that the business achieved its goals. Annette worked directly with the Brady Family Brand Field Sales Team, a brand that has experienced monumental growth over the past 8 years and is now seen as the number one brand in PPSCM market in ROI. This growth certainly would not have been achieved without Annette's support and acute attention to detail helping to get the absolute most out of the FST on the ground but also helping direct and mould the Commercial back office into what it is today. Annette has a unique ability to spot talent and to ensure the right talents are being used in the correct departments, an ability which was leaned on quite regularly at OBFF. Annette is incredibly generous with her time and expertise, which includes everything from 10 years of retail management experience to directly supporting the CEO of OBFF. Beyond that, I have to say that her humour and good nature made days and deadlines much easier on our team.

Annette has a unique ability to spot talent.
