Hi, I'm Nicola

I help start-ups, entrepreneurs and small businesses free up time, focus and headspace – so you can get back to doing what you do best.

With a PA, EA, and administrative background, I bring 15 years’ experience. Combined with my genuine passion for supporting business professionals, I consistently help busy executives overcome the challenges of running a small business so they can get back to what is important.

about me >

Let's get your freedom back

Freedom to grow your business. Freedom to spend more time with your family. Or simply freedom from the jobs you dread – chasing invoices, juggling your diary, wading through your inbox.

As a trusted Virtual Assistant, I’m as invested in seeing your business succeed as I am my own.

Hand over even the smallest tasks and together we’ll transform how you work.

Let's get started >

Why hire a Virtual Assistant?

Here’s how a freelance Virtual Assistant compares to an employed assistant.

Employed Assistant

⨯ You handle payroll, tax, pension and holiday

⨯ Provide an office space, equipment, and software

⨯ Pay for unproductive hours

⨯ Pay for fixed contractual hours each month, regardless of workload

⨯ Bound by employment laws

Virtual Assistant

✓ No employer responsibilities

✓ No need to provide office space or equipment

✓ Only pay for 100% productive time

✓ Flexible hours, easy to increase / decrease based on workload

✓ Flexible contract – easy to end or pause if needed

"Do what you do best, and outsource the rest"

Running your own business means wearing every hat –  CEO, sales, HR, marketing, finance, admin. Team or no team, it all circles back to you.

You started this for freedom; to be your own boss, to build an inspiring company and make a difference. Now you’re missing deadlines, working longer hours than you ever did as an employee, and the drive you began with is fading.

It really doesn’t have to be this way.

How can I help >

You can do anything, but not everything...

Let’s be honest here; you can’t do everything, no matter how hard you try. Keep going alone and you’ll burn out before you’ve properly started.

Doing it all yourself feels faster – but chasing invoices, booking travel and managing your diary is time you’re not spending growing the business.

Sound familiar? You need a Virtual Assistant. You’re an expert in what you do; I’m an expert in what I do.

Flexible monthly retainers from £350 a month, with your time reserved just for you. 

Prefer to dip in and out? Ad hoc support from £35 per hour.

Testimonials

"As the CEO of a very lean start-up, I did not think I could afford a VA. However, the business and I could not have survived the last 6 months without Nicola and it turns out she’s more than paid for herself! She's helped us to chase outstanding invoices, book travel promptly (and correctly), and she's been pivotal in us securing £500K of investment by allowing me to focus on fundraising. Most importantly, she's stopped me from burning out, supported me through extreme overwhelm and helped me and the team to work more efficiently.

I’m now able to spend more time with my family and for the first time am building the successful work life balance I’ve always dreamed of.

I honestly can't imagine working without Nicola now. Not only is it a genuine pleasure working with her, we’ve also got to a stage where I think she can actually read my mind and is ticking things off before I’ve even considered they need doing! I now actually have time to proactively grow the business (instead of constantly reacting to things!)

So if you are waiting for that perfect moment to hire a VA all I can say, is do it now! The value it brings will far outweigh the cost.

Oh and make sure your VA is Nicola, because she's an absolute dream to work with, may have actual psychic-abilities or magical powers and is a super admin whiz!".​

Lou,

Previously overwhelmed CEO, Needi

"The podcast wouldn't happen without Nicola, we'd certainly never get any guests booked in. She has been incredibly helpful to me because I have been drowning in my inbox, I've been really really panicking about it. Nicola proactively reached out and suggested doing a 15 min call and in that 15 mins we worked through a bunch of stuff, I set up a new label, I filtered out all my sales stuff and she helped me tackle some stuff I've been really putting off and just really unblocked a load of stuff in my mind and it completely changed the trajectory of my week so that was massively helpful. ".​

James

CEO, Go Squared

"Before working with Nicola, I was spending far too much time going back and forth over email just to book meetings, and getting pulled away from sales. We were always looking for more time in our days, and that’s what we now have. She’s also handled our client gifting (including Christmas!) for the last couple of years - I’m not great at admin, so it used to take hours and be a bit of a mess. Now it’s sorted, sent out in plenty of time and I don’t have to think about it.

She also supported us with an email campaign earlier in the year. It felt slow at the time, but four months later a client got in touch and went ahead with a five-figure project, which more than covered what we pay her.

Would I recommend her? Absolutely. Just do it, and either give yourself more time off or more focus! Though you can’t have Nicola - she’s ours! :-)".​

Jon G

Co-Director, Pad Creative

Nicola was a fantastic virtual assistant – very capable & switched on, always reliable, and one step ahead. She handled research, preparing agendas and minutes, processing expenses and travel bookings seamlessly, and her holiday recommendations (inspired by the many countries she worked from!) were always spot on. A great person to work with and someone you can truly count on.

Rumer Burnett

Group COO, Premium Plus UK

"When we started working with Nicola, Sophie and I had just started our own business and were finding it difficult to stay on top of both the business and all of the personal admin that comes with it. We were working across time zones, I was travelling every week for another client, and there were lots of things that were important but never quite important enough to make it to the top of the list. In our case, that could be anything from chasing people, responding to job applications, finding a housekeeper, arranging flights and group travel plans, or liaising with our tax advisers. These collectively took up a lot of time and headspace, and Nicola gave us the confidence that those items were being dealt with without us having to think about them. 

Nicola is also very good at dealing with people on our behalf. Having someone manage and arrange client meetings made a real difference, particularly when we were still establishing the business. What was also impressive was her diligence, even though we only had a fractional engagement with her.

What I liked most was that it really didn't seem to matter to Nicola what the task was. It could be something as menial as making a restaurant reservation, or something more involved, she was happy to take it on and see it through.

I'd definitely recommend Nicola to anyone who is busy and needs someone they can rely on to take a broad range of things off their plate. She's kind, helpful and clear, and importantly, she understood what needed doing without the explanation."​

Edward Bishhop

Director, For Real Events Ltd

"When we started our glamping and camping business, we realised quickly the sheer volume of admin that was going to be needed was overwhelming. As a start-up, we were no where near the point of being able to hire an employee but with only two of us it was a constant struggle to balance our time. We'd actually never heard of working with a Virtual Assistant before, but we were so delighted we found Nicola. Being able to tap into her experience and have her support us in such a flexible way was so integral to our success in that challenging first year.

Emma C,

Director, Big Sky Oasis

"As a solo consultant, I took on three clients and found myself incredibly busy. Between servicing my clients and doing the admin I was working 12-14 hour days. Nicola was such a huge help - she helped take so many time consuming tasks off my plate and allowed me to have a social life again! "​
