Legal Secretary - 2 Law Firms

If you’re snowed under and can’t see life beyond your to-do list, then a) you’re not alone b) you’re in the right place. 

I provide a first-class, comprehensive VA business support service for busy SMEs and Consultants. You can enjoy my professional services on an ad hoc basis without needing to take on a full-time employee.  

Having another pair of hands to share your workload so that you have time for family, friends and even the gym can make all the difference to wellbeing and quality of life! You can delegate tasks that give a small return on investment so that you can focus on more important matters.  

With over 18 years of experience as a Board Level Executive Assistant supporting various Global and public sector organisations, I have enjoyed and have been a part of every stage of the ‘journey’ that most businesses typically experience; the growing pains, the highs, the lows and the in-betweens!

I believe that trust is fundamental to a good working relationship in business and I have, and still do, personally take the time to understand the DNA of a business, ensuring that all priorities and expectations are achieved and delivered.  In other words, I’m not happy until my client is happy. 

Hiring a VA (Virtual Assistant) can be a real life-saver.  You can hire me on an hourly or project basis and enjoy the benefits of reclaiming your time. 

As Benjamin Franklin once said - ‘If we take care of the minutes, the years will take care of themselves.’
