Team Assistant

ARE YOU A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER WHO IS STRUGGLING TO MEET DEADLINES?  ARE YOU FEELING OVERWHELMED AND SPENDING MORE TIME ON TASKS OUTSIDE OF YOUR EXPERTISE - WHICH ARE NOT EVEN BILLABLE?

Now is the time to delegate and get your time back!  

Reduce your workload with me and maximise your productivity.  By plugging in to the bigger picture I can identify areas that require streamlining and optimisation in your business.  

I have 20 years' experience as an Executive Assistant working in large reputable companies in Professional Services.  With my inbox and diary management skills, client entertaining events and business trips that I have arranged with a high level of detail and project bids that I have worked on, I have enabled my Executives to win work and high-level projects.  

In between my long-standing permanent positions, I have completed various temporary assignments.  This has enhanced my experience and enabled me to adapt quickly to a variety of demands and working styles.  

My experience working with a variety of companies from small business owners to global corporates will be applied to achieve those results.  My honest, open communication style makes me an efficient, dynamic asset to your business/team.   

Let’s make it happen and deliver those results!

Feeling the struggle lately? I’ve been there too! After battling through what I suspect was COVID for over 2 weeks I leaned on my accountability partner to bounce back. It’s common for this virus to leave us with the after effects of exhaustion, fatigue, brain fog etc.

Now here is the silver lining: you can rely on your Virtual Assistant! We are your flexible support system, for as long or as little as you need, even if it’s just one month!  Though I recommend 3 months initially to really see a difference to your business, the level of assistance is entirely down to you. 

Let’s refocus and reignite your business together!
