Administrative Professionals Day — celebrated every year on the Wednesday of the last full week in April — is a moment to recognise the people who keep businesses moving, clients supported, and operations running smoothly behind the scenes.

With 30+ years in admin and operations, I’ve seen how strong admin isn’t a luxury. It’s the structure that allows founders to grow, breathe, and focus on the work only they can do.

If you’re feeling the strain of doing it all yourself, or you know your admin could be tighter, clearer, or more consistent, I’d love to chat.

What’s the one admin task you’d hand over first?

Proud to see my logo featured in today’s edition of The Guardian as part of the Good Business Charter campaign (just right of centre next to Leeds Building Society 😊).

GBC accreditation isn’t a badge you simply apply for — it’s a commitment to doing business responsibly across all 10 components, from fair pay and employee wellbeing to environmental responsibility, ethical sourcing, and transparent governance.

For me, it reflects the way I choose to work every day:

• treating clients and collaborators with fairness and clarity

• operating with integrity and accountability

• building sustainable, ethical business practices that genuinely support people

It’s an honour to stand alongside organisations who believe business can be a force for good.

Proud moment today.

The Good Business Charter has featured me — alongside other accredited organisations — in their advert in The Times highlighting how GBC‑accredited businesses are helping to create a fairer, more sustainable future.

As someone who has always championed ethical practice, transparency, and responsible business, I’m honoured to be part of this national campaign.

Grateful to the Good Business Charter for the recognition, and proud to stand with so many organisations committed to doing business the right way.

I love helping clients gain clarity and see new opportunities for their business, and today I’m feeling extra grateful for this feedback from Anthony at AlphaSeven Property Manager:

‘Working with Maria has been a genuinely great experience… Her advice felt tailored to me and my goals, not generic. She explained things in a way that made sense and helped me see opportunities I hadn’t considered before.’

Moments like these are why I do what I do. My goal is always to provide guidance that’s clear, structured, and tailored to YOU—so you can confidently take action and grow your business.

If you’re looking to strengthen your business or online presence, I’d love to help you uncover clarity and direction too!

I carried out a full proofreading audit for a company’s website this week after spotting a few small errors. Once I took a proper look, I found several issues that are easy to miss when you’re close to your own content — typos, punctuation slips, formatting inconsistencies, and sections that didn’t read as clearly as they should.

They’ve now updated everything, and the site looks far more polished and professional. It’s a good reminder that even small errors can influence how your business is perceived and how confidently people engage with your brand.

If your website hasn’t had a fresh set of eyes on it for a while, you can submit your details using the form below. This is a paid service, and I’ll review your information and send a quote based on the size and complexity of your site: https://forms.gle/AWX7ZG7wn5K8E5LZ9

Please complete this short form if you’d like your website proofread for errors, typos, and inconsistencies.

The year 2025 proved to be a pivotal period for MCF Business Solutions, marked by noteworthy advancements and accomplishments. In January, the company enacted significant modifications, laying the groundwork for an exhilarating year ahead. By March, a revamped logo was introduced, signifying the company's transforming identity. April witnessed the debut of a new website, bolstering our online visibility and accessibility.

The momentum carried forward into July, when I received my first Award Nomination of the Year, highlighting the company impact in the industry. August was particularly notable as MCF Business Solutions not only celebrated becoming a Finalist for its First Accolade of 2025 but also welcomed a new apprentice, infusing the team with fresh talent!

In September, I was acknowledged with a second series of Award Nominations. October brought additional positive news, with the company securing two more Finalist positions, emphasizing its ongoing success and recognition within the industry.

The year culminated on a high in November, with MCF being named a finalist for the esteemed "Impact Award of the Year 2026," showcasing the company's lasting influence and dedication to excellence.

Thank you all for your support in 2025 - It's been an amazing year and we can't wait to see what 2026 brings!

Happy New Year to All!

I can't believe this was 16 years ago! My babies were just well, still babies, and I put everything I had into doing a Foundation Degree, something I thought I was never even capable of after I left school.
Now my kids are adults and I am running my own business doing what I love and helping others in the process!

Take it from me - you are never too old to learn something new, and you never know where it will take you!

And I've made it in the press too!! It's always lovely to read nice things happening in the papers, isn't it?

I just wanted to thank all those that nominated me in the recent Strategic PA Awards.

Unfortunately, I couldn't attend this year's awards as I have been admitted into hospital with Pleural Effusion (also known as Fluid on the lung) but I was honoured and humbled to receive an email from the organisers this morning informing me that although I did not win in my two nominations, not only was I a Finalist in both, I also received a Highly Commended Award!

Thank you again for your support and wonderful words, I am proud of my achievements and will continue to strive to provide the best support I can.

Congratulations to ALL Nominees, Finalists, all those Highly Commended and Winners!

I am thrilled to announce that MCF Business Solutions is now an Accredited Member of the Good Business Charter.

The Good Business Charter is an accreditation which organisations, big and small, in the UK can sign up to in recognition of responsible business practices.

It measures behaviour over 10 components: real living wage, fairer hours and contracts, employee well-being, employee representation, diversity and inclusion, environmental responsibility, paying fair tax, commitment to customers, ethical sourcing, and prompt payment.

The GBC is an independent not-for-profit organisation working with organisations including the TUC, IoD and FSB to give a benchmark for ‘Good Business’ which is accessible to all. The Good Business Charter consists of 10 components, each one focused on a different aspect of business practices. These components are:

1. Ethical business practices

4. Supporting local communities
5. Treating employees fairly
6. Providing quality products and services
7. Supporting supply chain ethics

By following its 10 components, we can ensure that we are operating in a responsible and ethical manner, which we hope will continue to build on our great reputation, increase sustainability, and increase customer loyalty.
