Dawn Holdsworth

Dawn Holdsworth joined Persuasion in October 1999 as a part time administration assistant, returning to work after having a family. More than ten, hard working years later and the office just wouldn’t function without her.

Highly valued and now office manager, her duties involve managing the general day to day running of the office. She answers the telephone, deals with invoices and payments, purchase orders and press monitoring.

She is also keen to add that she ends up making the tea and washing the dishes most days. This of course is because she makes the best cup of tea.

She says: “If I were an animal I would be a monkey, being a bit naughty and generally liking a good time, maybe one of those tea making monkeys from the telly. As a fruit I would be a melon, tough on the outside but soft on the inside.”
