For years, I’ve thought about becoming a Virtual Assistant. Then, in December 2024, redundancy - completely out of the blue - gave me the push I needed.

I had the skills but the idea of leaving a full-time job to step into the unknown always felt daunting. While I could have jumped straight into another role, I wanted something more fulfilling, something for 𝘮𝘦. After 17 years of doing what I do best for others, I decided it was time to do it on my own terms. And here I am - self-employed, excited, and ready to help businesses thrive! If you need an extra pair of hands, let’s chat! And if you see my name popping up more, it’s because I’m embracing this new chapter and sharing the journey. Here’s to new beginnings! 🥂

How would you feel about gaining an hour of time back each day? Even a few hours of weekly support could make all the difference to you.

Whilst I'm clearing your inbox backlog and keeping your calendar under control, I begin to understand your priorities and quietly protect your valuable time, allowing you to focus on the work only you can do.

Hiring a part-time virtual assistant to support your business is a smart move, with low commitment which generates real results. There are no overheads to pay for and you stay in control.

If you've been putting off getting help because it feels like too much, too soon, this is your sign that it doesn't have to be.

DM me if you'd like to explore what part-time support could look like for your business.

What a great night we had at the Music Bingo Night at Colne Cricket Club on Friday.

It was fantastic to see so many local businesses support the event, which was organised by Colne networking for Pendleside Hospice's Corporate Challenge.

Thank you to everyone who made it a successful night.

🐾 National Dog Day, and my "co-worker" today is Buster, keeping me company in the garden salon while I get my hair done midweek.

That's the flexibility of running my own VA business, sometimes life fits around work instead of the other way round. No annual leave form, no Saturday scramble, just a Wednesday appointment with a dog for company.

I don't have a dog, so Buster was only too happy to have his picture taken.🐶

Farnborough Airshow 2026

The stand build is done ✈️

The stand builders are putting the finishing touches in place as I write this, and today I'm on site getting everything ready for Monday's open day.

There's something about seeing the transformation from a site to an exhibition hall, with extremely smart stands and booths, and I find it magical. It's not magic at all. It's hard graft and dedication from all the stand builders, and the organisers of Farnborough Airshow that makes it happen.

If you're heading to Farnborough next week, come and find me. I'd love to say hello in person.

Almost a year ago, I posted on Facebook about having a wobble when it comes to networking. I still find it daunting and don't do as much as I should. Here are some tips about the benefits and getting the most out of face-to-face networking.

Showing up at each meeting, listening with curiosity, offering insights, being willing to help, and being open to what others can teach you, can all lead to a positive experience of networking.

Keeping in touch outside regular meetings by having one-to-ones and follow-ups, while offering support where you can, builds genuine relationships over time.

Together, this builds trust, visibility, and a community of people who you think of first when opportunities arise, whether that means new clients, collaboration, referrals or advice.

Everyone starts somewhere, and although it’s daunting at the time, consistency really does pay off, helping you grow in confidence, expand your network of people, and, more importantly, develop your business.

And there's usually a decent coffee on offer!
