You are welcome.  I've been through a few interviews in my time but not all are the same.  Hopefully that should help you prepare a few examples to talk about.

You may also be asked to discuss IT skills and your experience in organising board meetings/papers.  If the vacancies are as you say (supporting the top honchos), a lot of emphasis may be directed towards managing their diary, dealing with calls and interruptions and how you support them on a daily basis.  It's all about planning and proritising your work as well as dealing with confidential information eg.....

- Are you trustworthy?
- Can you work under pressure?
- Are you pro-active?
- Can you plan/think ahead?
- Are you organised?

Prepare some examples as you might be asked to support these statements.
