Phoebe
Merritt

Executive Assistant

A literary girl in an Excel world, keeping the Smedvig team in check Monday to Friday.

The bright lights of London welcomed me 5 years ago, but prior to that I grew up in a sleepy seaside town with little to no knowledge of VC. Although on the periphery, I’ve been brought into the fold by a knowledgeable and friendly team. My bread and butter is organising them all and making sure they’re where they need to be, but expanding my VC comprehension has gone hand in hand with that. Outside of Smedvig, I’ll be hosting friends and family, enjoying Dolly dog walks to our local, or heading back to the seaside for some bracing British weather.

A conversation with Phoebe

What gets you out of bed in the morning?

Normally my alarm clock!

What gets you excited about a business?

Genuine, friendly teams - at the Smedvig Offices I'm the first person that people meet, so if you come out of the lift with a beaming smile and some good conversation, then that instantly makes me want to learn more about your business.
