Rachael Cowie
With over 15 years of experience as a trusted gatekeeper and Executive Assistant, I have provided high-level support to CEOs, Managing Directors, and Executive Board members within globally recognised corporations. My role involves regular engagement with the Board, cross-functional collaboration, and proactive support to multiple departments to ensure seamless executive operations.
I recently completed an Executive Assistant Diploma Level 5, further strengthening my professional expertise and reinforcing my commitment to excellence. Pragmatic, dedicated, and highly motivated, I thrive in fast-paced environments and approach every challenge with a calm, solution-focused mindset.
Known for my discretion, resilience, and professionalism, I excel in managing complex schedules, communications, and competing priorities. I take pride in my ability to minimise disruption, optimise productivity, and enhance stakeholder experiences through strong interpersonal and customer-focused skills.
I also support others in the workplace, contributing to a collaborative and high-performing culture. My adaptable and forward-thinking approach allows me to support, uphold, and drive results across a range of strategic initiatives, always aligning with wider business goals.
Outside of work, I lead a balanced and active lifestyle. I enjoy dog walking, horse riding, and making the most of opportunities to travel—whether it’s a countryside escape or exploring new cultures abroad. I’m passionate about learning new skills and pushing personal boundaries, most recently demonstrated by completing an ultra marathon in May 2025. These passions help keep me grounded, energised, and focused in both my professional and personal life.
Would highly recommend. A very efficient team always ready to help and answer any questions.
Fantastic service throughout the process of buying our first home. My partner and I were guided through the process and our circumstances were considered every step of the way. Efficient replies to emails and enquiries with constant updates throughout the process. Paul and Julie a credit to the company who we had personal dealings with throughout, right up to completion.
Great support and communication throughout the entire process, by Julie.
Pembroke Financial Services (Julie especially) actively went above and beyond what I expected from a mortgage adviser, they really went that “extra mile” for me and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Thank you!
My partner Caroline and I recently bought our first home, and we really cannot overstate how helpful and reassuring Pembroke were throughout the whole process. Without Paul and Julie, our contacts at Pembroke, we probably wouldn’t be moving at all. Paul got straight on the phone with us at the start of the process, managed to explain each step in a really informative yet simple way, and was extremely patient with our various ‘first-time buyer’ questions and emails. Paul found some great mortgage deals for us, explained the pros and cons of each element (like the length of our fixed-rate term), and gave sound advice that made us feel comfortable and prepared. We would thoroughly, thoroughly recommend Paul and the team at Pembroke to anybody, especially to first-time homebuyers.
