In August 2007, DeskDemon launched a year long award program that acknowledges and rewards the accomplishments of those who support and keep companies running smooth. The viewer’s voted Mei Suen of the Diamond Trading Company September’s winner.

Mei Suen

During the past year Mei has committed herself completely to the company's values, in particular by showing that she cares about the people she works with.

She has raised a huge amount of money for charities working in the countries with which the company is involved. Whilst doing this, she displays total professionalism in managing her boss with the utmost effectiveness, juggling an ever changing diary and travel plans without missing a beat. Nothing ever gets her down and she always has a smile on her face.

“Mei deals with every challenge with passion and energy. She positively looks forward to it, nothing is insurmountable for her. The most organised person I know! She is always giving and sharing – brilliantly mentoring and advising her peers and colleagues at a moment’s notice, and is always available. She loves being a PA, it is her career, her profession and she is always raising the profile of the role, whether she is permanent, on a short term contract or just temping, that she is often asked back by her employers. She is a great asset for any company to have.”

The goal of the Management Fellowship Support Award Program is to acknowledge, recognise, reward and promote a network of knowledge of each individual story.

Anyone can nominate an assistant who has made a difference in their day. The criteria for the nomination includes outstanding achievements in at least one of the following areas - organisational and project management, training and mentoring, office management, communication, technology, problem-solving. Winners will be chosen by those who know the job the best, their peers. Each DeskDemon user will be given 10 tokens/votes to distribute as they wish to the entry/entries they want to vote for. Users may change the distribution of these votes anytime within any given month. At the end of each month, the entry with the highest number of votes will receive £250 and their nominator will receive £100. At the end of the Award programme, a group of industry experts will choose the most extraordinary entry for the chance to win the grand prize of £10,000.
