Meghan Blackmore
PA to Director
Hello, my name is Meghan.
I am the Personal Assistant to Amanda Davis, Company Director at Words First, and I’ve been part of the team for three years. What an exciting journey it has been! I bring extensive experience as an Executive Assistant and Personal Assistant, as well as in office administration and systems management. Organisation and communication are my specialties.
Prior to joining Words First, I worked as an Executive Assistant for various biopharmaceutical companies in Oxford. My last role in the UK was at Pearson Education (Oxford), where I supported two Senior Directors (Primary and Secondary School) in managing large publishing teams across four UK sites and international offices.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is supporting the wider team—being responsive, available, and serving as a vital link between the team and senior staff and Directors. I take pride in fostering smooth communication and ensuring that everyone feels supported and connected.
In addition to my administrative career, I am a trained Graphic Designer with over 20 years’ experience across various design disciplines, including print, digital, textile, and product design. I’ve worked with and led creative teams in corporate, agency, and manufacturing environments.
The Words First value that resonates most with me is inclusivity. We are such a diverse and inclusive team, representing several countries around the world, all united by a shared goal: supporting children’s literacy and independence.
Two of my favourite books are Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, as I enjoy Victorian-era literature, and The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. If you asked my friends to describe me in three words, they would say loyal, reliable, and funny.
