You know what’s annoying? Spending time on a quote, sending it off, then three weeks later, realising you’ve heard nothing back. By then, the customer’s either gone elsewhere or forgotten they asked in the first place. And let’s be honest, chasing quotes is a job no one fancies after a…
Less stress, fewer spreadsheets and no more swearing at comparison sites. Booking travel might sound like a quick job. In reality? It’s a time-sucking tangle of tabs, timings and prices that change the second you blink. Between sorting flights, finding decent hotels, juggling schedules and keeping receipts, it’s enough to…
Plus, what I charge for copywriting and admin support If you’ve ever tried Googling what a virtual assistant charges, you’ll know it’s a bit of a minefield. Half the answers are vague, the other half are trying to sell you a course, and none of them actually tell you what…
(And no, it’s not because I love spreadsheets… although I sort of do) Running a small business or working in the trades often means doing five people’s jobs with one pair of hands and a head full of ‘Don’t forget to…’ reminders. You’re quoting, invoicing, ordering bits, chasing payments, replying…
I’m not front-of-house. Never have been. I’m the one in the background, replying to emails, keeping things ticking over and making sure no one’s left hanging wondering if they’ve been ghosted. But recently, something unexpected happened. I started getting mentioned in places I wouldn’t normally show up… like my clients’…
You know how it goes. One job runs over. Someone cancels last minute. A customer calls just as you’re finishing up for the day. By the time you get home, you’re shattered – and your phone is full of unread messages, half-finished notes, and forgotten to-dos. That’s where my End-of-Day…
This week, I want to talk about one of my newer services – Finance Support. I say ‘newer’, but it’s been part of my work for some time – I just haven’t labelled it until now. What does Finance Support mean? In short, I take day-to-day finance tasks off…
It’s been a little while since I last posted. I’ve been busy behind the scenes with a big change, rebranding to better serve small businesses and trades as a hands-on virtual assistant. Why the switch? My business initially started out with a focus on copywriting, but as I grew, it…
Email—it’s a blessing and a curse, right? On one hand, it’s the quickest way to connect with clients, suppliers, and anyone else you need to keep in the loop. On the other hand, it can quickly spiral into a source of stress, with endless threads, urgent requests, and that ever-growing…
Recently, I had the pleasure of working on a project for an electrical services company, helping them create a solid online presence to attract new clients. The goal was straightforward: build a set of digital tools to showcase their expertise, tell their story, and make it easy for potential clients…
