“Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.”

The people you work with matter - a lot

At The Virtual Colleagues, our support is delivered by a carefully selected collective of experienced virtual professionals, each bringing their own skills, strengths and working styles. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, which is why we take time to match the right people to the right clients - based on personality, experience and how you like to work.

Our Virtual Colleagues are trusted, adaptable and deeply invested in the success of the businesses they support. They work as an embedded part of your operation, building strong relationships and providing consistent, reliable support - without ever feeling faceless or transactional.

You won’t just be assigned support. You’ll be working with real people who care about what you’re building.

Hi, I’m Jess - founder of The Virtual Colleagues.

I’ve been doing this work for over nine years, supporting business owners and leaders as they grow, scale and figure out how to do business without burning themselves into the ground. I set up TVC because I could see how many brilliant people were trying to carry everything alone - and thinking something was wrong with them when it felt hard.

I love working with inspiring, growth-orientated people and creating real impact - giving people their headspace back, helping businesses thrive, and watching things finally click into place. I’m a list-lover, a systems thinker, and a people pleaser through and through (working on that), which means I care deeply about doing things properly - sometimes a bit too much. Sound familiar?

I’m a business owner too. I get it.

Many clients feel overwhelmed with the endless tasks they don’t have time for or don’t enjoy doing. I step in to handle these tasks so they can focus on growing their business and serving clients.

I provide general admin, social media support, website updates, business & personal travel bookings, meeting & event support and more.

Clients value my solution-focused approach, focusing on creating a business that runs efficiently, with a to-do list under control and operations that just work.

As a self-confessed Disney adult, I help business owners get visible and grow with social media. Usually fuelled by snacks and tea (Yorkshire of course).

By understanding the foundations of what you’re offering, the problem you’re solving and for who, you can make marketing feel aligned with what you’re passionate about.

Too many times social media can take over everything. You start to feel detached from your core passion and client focus, so you need someone you can trust to be there for you.
