Sally Lee, Rooted Community Food
Zoe is an invaluable asset to Rooted Community Food, a non-profit food project in Eastbourne. As the project manager, I have had the privilege of working closely with Zoe, and her administrative support has significantly enhanced our operations.
Zoe’s expertise lies in developing robust systems and protocols. She has meticulously crafted health and safety policies, safeguarding guidelines, and risk assessment procedures. Her attention to detail ensures that our project adheres to the highest standards. Moreover, Zoe’s intuitive approach consistently yields results that surpass expectations.
One of Zoe’s standout achievements is the creation of our comprehensive volunteer manual. This document not only includes essential agreements but also provides thoughtful guidance. Zoe strikes the perfect tone, recognising the nuances of managing a diverse group of volunteers. Her thorough research and insightful suggestions have been instrumental in shaping our volunteer program.
Regardless of the task or domain, Zoe consistently delivers high-quality work. Her ability to grasp the essence of my needs with minimal input is what sets her apart. Without a doubt, Zoe has lightened my workload and significantly contributed to the success of our project.
In summary, Zoe Bliss is an exceptional professional whose dedication and competence make her an indispensable part of our team.
Dr Sam Carroll, Star Creative Heritage
I worked with Zoë for the Art and Humanities Research Council funded centre for public engagement Gateways to the First World War, at the University of Kent, between 2014 and 2019 for the centenary. As the centre manager Zoë was the most conscientious, capable and considerate colleague that one could ask for. Working with her was exciting and empowering, and whatever the challenges we faced, she could be relied upon completely in terms of meticulous support and friendly encouragement. When the project ended we were keen to find ways to work together again, and in 2021 we set up our own non-profit organisation, Star Creative Heritage, so that we could do just that. I am thrilled to have Zoë as a partner in this endeavour and look forward to all the projects ahead of us.
Jack Eldridge, Wellgate
Zoe has worked with Wellgate Care and Wellgate Supported Living since 2020, initially providing support around HR administration and, since June 2021, managing our local authority framework applications and tenders and providing support with referrals administration.
Zoe’s support has been of huge benefit to us; she is highly organised with strong written skills and great attention to detail. Since starting work on our local authority tenders she has supported us to make nine successful applications; this has been vital to the growth of our company.
Nicola Benge, Strike a Light - Arts & Heritage
Strike a Light – Arts & Heritage first utilised Zoe Bliss Admin to support delivery of a Heritage Lottery Funded project. We were so pleased with the exceptional services provided, that we contracted her as our in-house administrator and she was in post for 2 years.
During this time, Zoe showed initiative, professionalism, and efficiency within her work. She successfully held the reins of multiple projects during that time. Her administrative delivery is superb and we couldn’t be happier with her work. We heartily recommend her services!
Professor Mark Connelly, University of Kent
I had the pleasure of working alongside Zoë for eight years on two separate projects. A major reason for the success of both was Zoë's undoubted brilliance as an administrator. From the complexities of budget management through to ensuring that parcels arrived at the right time to the right people, Zoë could be trusted to do everything with the same degree of efficiency and effectiveness. She gripped the essentials of each project with great insight which also made her an invaluable source of suggestions and refinements ensuring all aims and objectives were achieved. Zoë has the amazing ability to turn the seemingly difficult or challenging into the easily managed. Having Zoë as part of our team was an immense privilege. She is an asset for any team, any project.
