Michelle Barnard

Office Manager

My role within Dallington as the Office Manager is to ensure the smooth running of the office on a day to day basis and provide admin support for all of the team.

Having 12 years of experience within office management (I fully project managed an office move for 120 people), I have stellar planning and organisational skills. These, and the ability to stay calm and composed in busy environments, have been of great use in my previous career as a wedding coordinator and now managing the team at Dallington. I have worn many hats over my career life which has enabled me to achieve a variety of skills and knowledge within operations, leading me to being referred as “The Office Mum”.

Being in charge of a Wellness and Mindfulness Programme at my previous workplace, I feel very passionate about mental health which led me to Dallington. After growing up in London, I decided to move out of the city for the sunny coastline but London still remains in my heart and I continue to commute to the Dallington Office to enjoy the city buzz and energy!

During my spare time, I love exploring my creative side with arts and crafts and spending time with my nearest and dearest whether that be country walks, going to see a show in London or trying out the cuisine at recommended restaurants!
