M: Isabella, how many people work for Rolls Royce?

W: Rolls Royce Group is a big company but our office here in France is small. Only four people: two directors from Germany, one engineer and myself.

M: So what is a typical day? How much time do you spend on the telephone and with e-mail?

W: Well, first of all I make myself a big cup of coffee. Then the telephone and daily affairs. OK, it’ not too bad but I have a lot of e-mails to write and read, so this maybe takes around 75% to 80% of my time.

M: How many hours per week do you work?

W: In France we have a 35-hour working week now, so I start to work at nine, have one hour for lunch and finish at 5:15. I even leave at 4:30 on Friday sometimes.

M: Do you like your job?

W: I do like my job. I like working for a British company. And feel like a member of the team rather than just a secretary. It’s a real pleasure to come here every day.
