What does an Office Manager do?

Since I moved back to Italy, I realised that it’s tricky to explain what my job title means. In my previous London Life, I was an Office Manager and Personal Assistant. If you are reading this from the UK (and possibly all the main English speaking countries), you know for sure what I mean. If […]

This is a Love letter, London.
