Our Autumn Issue brings a wealth of expert advice and inspiration to PAs, EAs, VAs and Office Managers from a wide range of topics. One of our special features in this issue is all about finalising this year’s Christmas party details. Choosing the right venue is crucial, but if you haven’t found the right one yet, PA Life is here to help you with a great selection of top destinations, starting with Center Parcs, featured on the cover, plus many more that will delight your party guests in London, Manchester and Southampton. And whilst you have your Santa’s Helper hat on, turn your mind to gifts for colleagues and clients. The earlier you nail the gift list, the better the offers and delivery options you will be given. We introduce you to WellBox who offer unique gifts and hampers, and also donate to charity with every gift you buy. Harrods and Fortnum & Mason need no introduction. They are always offering unique and best suited gifts; Harrods with the help of their dedicated Account Managers, and Fortnum & Mason with their new F&M Concierege Online service.

In this issue we also showcase a great selection of Business Travel specialists who are ready to help you navigate the increasingly complex travel landscape and climbing costs. Whether you need help with sustainable options, complex itineraries, achieving cost savings or complete travel management solutions, turn to pages 40-49.
