Paula Foreman – Christmas 2024

We have a very special seasonal volunteer of the month. Paula Foreman, Anna Lane’s right-hand woman, PA and WIBF volunteer.

Anna writes:

Every great duo needs balance: Batman has Robin, Sherlock has Watson, and every CEO needs their Paula. Let’s face it, WIBF runs on your cool-headed efficiency, unwavering dedication, and uncanny ability to stay five steps ahead of the chaos. In this partnership, you’re the real superhero, and I’m just lucky to share the spotlight!

From managing tight deadlines to stepping into the unknown with grace and determination, you bring an extraordinary mix of calm, creativity, and charm to everything you do. As Nicky King put it:

“Paula is absolutely fantastic to work with, always going above and beyond for everyone, while also managing to keep a cool head. She supports WIBF across all our pillars and is often thrown into a project with very tight delivery deadlines, which she manages to always meet. I love her positivity and attitude to just get stuck in. It is such a pleasure working with Paula.”

And Katharine Carleton added:

“Paula has been an unsung WIBF volunteer since she joined along with Anna Lane over three years ago and has dedicated hours of her time. Paula quietly handles everything that is thrown at her without complaint, and her calm and friendly demeanour is a winner. Her eye for detail and tenacity is delivered with charm.”

I am delighted, therefore, to award you a very special Christmas WIBF Volunteer of the Month. This recognition is simply a reflection of what everyone already knows: WIBF wouldn’t be the same without you. Your contributions behind the scenes make a monumental difference, and your partnership with me? Unstoppable.

As we approach the holiday season, it feels even more fitting to celebrate someone like you—someone who gives so much to others, with patience, positivity, and that little bit of Christmas magic.

Thank you for everything you do, Paula. Here’s to another year of saving the day, one project at a time (with plenty of mince pies and Christmas cheer along the way).
