Emma Kernan-Staines FAPA DipPA, PA to Sir Trevor Brooking CBE at the FA and a passionate supporter of APA, and its journey to create a career pathway for PAs, gave a highly personal and passionate take on her career and beliefs when she spoke at the Office* 2010 Show at Earls Court this week.
Interviewed by Gareth Osborne, Emma told a packed Keynote Theatre about her route to becoming a PA, her strong relationship with and commitment to her Boss, the challenges and frustrations she faces as a PA and how she now wants to use her experience to help others achieve the same job satisfaction she enjoys from working with Sir Trevor.
Emma presented and answered questions in her typically calm yet self assured manner which was doubly impressive given that she is within 3-weeks of the arrival of her second child.
Gareth, the Director General of APA, said, “Emma is an outstanding PA and a true ambassador for the PA profession. The audience was thrilled to hear her speak and she has received numerous accolades subsequently. Emma has worked tirelessly at the FA to win HR and senior management support for her ‘FA PA Pathway’ programme which we now hold up as a model of best practice for major employers across the UK.”
“I am sure all APA Members and staff would wish to join me in sending best wishes to Emma, Ben and India on the pending arrival of their new team member,” concluded Gareth.

Emma was excellent and looked great but I'm not sure how she managed in her Jimmy Choo's.
Good Show APA and the stand looked great. It was good to catch up with the team and meet other members.
Good luck on the forthcoming birth from all at APA.
