Remarkable Autism proudly celebrated a night of success at The National PA Awards on Thursday 13th November, at Manchester’s iconic Diecast venue. Two exceptional team members – Administrator Gayle Rowley and Kate Wellock, PA to Executive Office/Clerk – earned national recognition among the UK’s leading administrative and executive support professionals.
Both earned places on the prestigious shortlist, reflecting their exceptional skills and commitment. The night’s pinnacle moment came when Kate Wellock, with 25 years of experience, received the Timeless Contribution Award, sponsored by Liverpool John Moores University. This accolade celebrates individuals whose professionalism and impact have stood the test of time — qualities Kate exemplifies throughout her distinguished career.
“We couldn’t be prouder,” said Robin Bush, CEO of Remarkable Autism. “Kate and Gayle represent the dedication and excellence that define our organisation. Kate’s award is a remarkable achievement, and Gayle’s recognition highlights the incredible work she delivers every day.”

“It was a privilege to receive the nomination and to be shortlisted in the support professional category and being counted among all these amazing professionals was an award in itself. I want to thank my colleagues, and in particular my manager, for believing in me and recognising my dedication to my role.”
