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

“It’s a beautiful thing when a career and passion come together.

I thrive on learning. If my clients set me a task that I have no experience in, I will learn it no matter what it takes, I do not give in!

I love solving my client’s work-life balance, their resentment to work, taking things away they hate, improving organisation, giving time back and boosting their success.

I have built a career where I surround myself with like-minded, forward-thinking entrepreneurs who with the right amount of support will set the world on fire.

Is this you?”

  • Judy Day

    Executive Assistant

    With years of experience across diverse administrative roles, I’ve honed my skills as a virtual assistant. My business support journey began in the fast-paced world of a tech start-up, where I served as an Executive Assistant. This dynamic environment equipped me with the ability to anticipate needs, streamline processes, and provide top-notch support to busy professionals. But I’m more than just an assistant—I’m a trusted confidant, an accountability partner, and a sounding board for strategic decisions.

    As a virtual assistant, I don’t just wear hats—I create them! From meticulous calendar management to seamless meeting coordination, I thrive on making my clients’ lives easier. Whether it’s inbox wizardry, in-depth research, or project support, I’m your go-to administrative business partner.

    When I’m not organising chaos, you’ll find me sipping endless cups of tea (English Breakfast, anyone?), embarking on long walks, tuning in to captivating podcasts, and exploring new restaurants.

  • Nicola Downs

    Tech and Systems VA

    With 13 years of experience as a qualified teacher and over 20 years in theatre and the arts, I have a unique skill set of instructional design, technical proficiency, and creativity.

    I am a problem solver by nature, and my favourite part of my virtual assistant role is figuring out your tech stack, and creating optimised workflows. I see myself as a plumber… but in the online world. I work out where each hidden pipe goes, and by the end of the day, I have mapped my way through, fixing all the problems, allowing you to get yourself in a nice hot steamy shower!

    Outside of work, family means everything to me. I strive to help business owners reclaim their time to spend with loved ones. In my spare time, you’ll find me on stage, performing in my favourite musicals, or with my family enjoying days out together.
