Patricia Farrell

Office Administrator, Roscommon

Patricia has been the Office Administrator in our Roscommon branch since 2017. Having worked in the AIB bank for 34 years in various roles, from a teller, all way up to training the implementation of AIB’s new system around the country, she gained a lot of experience in customer service. After Patricia left the bank in 2013, she spent a lot of time volunteering and went back to education in ICT skills.

Here at Oates Auctioneers Ltd., she is the first point of contact for clients, she reconciles invoices, maintains and manages information etc. A lot of Patricia’s tasks come down to time and people management, amongst other day to day practices.

“I enjoy problem solving and working with people on a team, my favourite aspect has to be dealing with the public, and no two days are the same.”
