Today we're celebrating a milestone that means the world to me! A decade of partnership with the extraordinary - and can you believe this is the only photo we've ever taken together?!

We've been doing the "work from home thing" long before it became a global phenomenon. While others were discovering remote work in 2020, Pippa had already spent years proving that location is no barrier to excellence. She's been flying the flag for virtual business success since day one, showing that with the right systems, trust, and talent, you can automate and run a thriving team and business from anywhere in the world.

A decade of video calls, shared screens, and virtual coffees / proseccos 🥂... through multiple business launches, family milestones, and life's ups and downs, Pippa has been my constant. Many of you know her as the calm, efficient presence behind and , the voice that makes everything possible, and the problem-solver who embodies our commitment to excellence and personal service. She's also worked alongside me to mentor and support so many of the amazing VAs that have passed through the Outhouse doors over the years.

What makes Pippa extraordinary isn't just her impeccable organisation or attention to detail - it's how she brings our company values to life every single day. Whether you're a long-standing client or new to our family, you've experienced her gift for making you feel welcome, that nothing is ever too much trouble and making challenging situations manageable. She's the living proof that true partnership knows no boundaries - physical or digital.

They say the best relationships are built on trust, understanding, and mutual respect. Ours was built on all that, plus reliable WiFi! 😊

Thank you 🙏 Pippa, for being not just my rock, but a cornerstone of everything we've built together. You've helped shape not just our businesses, but the very way we serve and support our clients.

Here's to another decade of virtual excellence, rare but precious in-person moments, and continuing to set the gold standard in everything we do!

I had the pleasure of attending the book launch of my fabulous friend .mcgillivray on Friday night, and it was a great opportunity to catch up with so many incredible friends and entrepreneurs. More than that, it was fantastic to see someone articulate the power of technology and automation as clearly (and passionately!) as Paul does.

Paul and I share a similar vision when it comes to and the importance of building strong connections between people and software. His approach makes the entire concept not just accessible but genuinely inspiring.

One of my favourite lines from Paul on the night: “When you can get an established strong connection between you and software, you can do some really cool sh*t!” It sums up the real magic behind using technology effectively in business—when done right, it can truly transform the way we work and grow.

If you’re thinking about embracing tech, AI, or automation in your business, Scope to Scale is out on Amazon tomorrow, and it’s a must-read. Paul’s insights and practical advice make this more than just a book; it’s a toolkit for anyone ready to explore how tech can create meaningful impact for you, your business, your staff and your customers. Keep your eyes peeled for the book special offer tomorrow!

Ever wondered what it’s like to run your business remotely? Here’s my story...

Recently, I spent nearly 6 weeks on the beautiful Costa Brava. Balancing work and life as a digital nomad has taught me invaluable lessons about business, technology, and personal growth. 🌞

When I started my business, I aimed to create a company that could operate from anywhere. It’s taken 15 years of trial, error, and hard work, but I’ve finally achieved it. Living and working in Spain wasn’t just a holiday; it was a testament to the power of automation and delegation.

Here are a few key takeaways:
1. Flexibility Isn’t a Fantasy: Automation allowed me to handle essential tasks seamlessly, giving me the freedom to hike, explore, and enjoy life without everything falling apart.

2. Trust Your Team (Seriously): Letting go and delegating effectively empowered my team to thrive and manage operations on their own.

3. Boundaries Are Non-Negotiable: Setting boundaries and planning ahead meant I could relax and recharge while staying productive. It’s about working smarter, not harder.

4. Fresh Perspectives Fuel Innovation: A change of scenery is a creativity booster. Running and hiking in new surroundings sparked fresh ideas and perspectives.

This journey reaffirms why I’m passionate about helping businesses leverage technology. Whether you’re looking to improve efficiency, embrace a flexible work model, or gain more control over your time, automation is key.

Curious about making your business run smoothly, even when you’re not there? Let’s connect!

There's a rule that I have in business... when offers to photograph you, you always say YES! This guy has seriously never taken a bad photo of me 😊

Back on a chilly day in January I had the pleasure of being part of one of the largest ever photoshoots for International Women's Day in the Midlands (perhaps even in the country?) at 🌟 What a venue!

I've just finished scrolling through the images from the event; 392 people, 6 days and 4,000 photos! (hats off to Edwin Ladd, I do not envy the task of editing those!). I love seeing so many familiar, smiling faces.

It's fair to say there's an incredible business community in Birmingham who are committed to inclusion, diversity and empowerment. And not just a community of females, but also their allies. I'm proud to say that I'm part of it.

I can't wait to see them all up on the big screen on Friday at and to meet up in person with so many of you.

See you there! And big shoutout to everyone that brought this to life:

🎉 Countdown is on!🎉

Today I’m heading down to London for the Digital Women Awards 2023! As a finalist for Digital Innovator of the Year and Digital Entrepreneur of the Year, I’m in awe of the collective brilliance of all the finalists. Congratulations to everyone who made it onto the list! 👏🌐 - look forward to meeting you all later.

Truth be told, I wasn’t actually going to enter these awards. Whilst I’m no newbie to business awards, this will be a first for our new baby Configure Me This. Putting myself and the team out into the world as women in tech & digital is something new to us and this is a step out of our comfort zone! Thanks to the fabulous (also a fellow finalist!) for the little push to enter. 😘

They say it goes in threes, and to top off the hat trick I am also honored to be on the Top 70 Digital Women to Watch list! 🔍🌟 Big cheers to the Configure Me This squad - we’re at the forefront of the systems automation revolution and I could not do this without your collective passion and brilliance.

Looking forward to a fun evening in celebration of all things digital & innovation! 🥂🎊

Tech Week Day Four did not disappoint! Digital Skills Day in Birmingham is always a fave of mine.

Highlight has been the Digital Skills Tech Collab where groups of students were set a tech challenge and had 5 hours to produce a proof of concept, MVP, USPs, company name and logo (With the support of mentors from across the tech ecosystem) Before pitching their ideas to a panel of judges at the end of the day. The ideas they came up with and detail that went into their pitches in such a small space of time was nothing short of impressive! Cracking end to a cracking day @
