Kate
About Kate
The Paperwork Team was born in 2011 out of the desire to share my skills and experience to help others get their admin and bookkeeping organised. I love technology and systems, being creative, and have a passion for good customer service.
My husband and I have lived in the area for many years, and I have two grown-up children as well as two reasonably well-behaved Border Collies, who can quite often be found lying around my feet in the office while I am working.
In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, sharing a meal or a coffee with family and friends, and walking with the dogs out in our beautiful countryside.
