Abby is a Personal Assistant to our Livingston James Group Directors as well as our Front of House manager. She oversees Group compliance and runs the Glasgow events programme, as well as providing general support across the Livingston James Group.
After school, Abby went to the City of Glasgow College for 2 years, graduating with a HND in Marketing. This allowed her direct entry into Glasgow Caledonian University where she completed 3rd and 4th year to achieve her degree. She graduated with a 2:1 BA (Hons) in International Marketing. During her time at university, she also completed a work placement at a telecommunications company in Glasgow. This allowed her to gain office experience, learn about the company’s culture and understand how marketing is used in day-to-day life.
Abby has also worked in retail which gave her experience working in a fast-paced environment. She particularly enjoyed building relationships with customers and creating a positive experience for them.
Outside of work, Abby enjoys going to the cinema, trying new restaurants in both Glasgow and Edinburgh, as well as travelling.
