Get the right support without the overwhelm

Running a business can feel like a never-ending to-do list. Between client work, emails, tech, admin, and everything else, it’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture.

A great virtual assistant can help you reclaim your time, headspace, and momentum, but finding the right person can feel overwhelming.

That’s why I’ve created a simpler way to get the help you need. I’ll provide you with a trusted UK-based VA who is the right fit for your working style and business needs, so you can stop feeling stretched and start feeling supported.

Why choose my virtual assistant service

Personal, tailored support

Unlike large VA agencies that assign you a random VA without ensuring a good fit, I take the time to understand your specific needs. You’ll receive personal, consistent support from either me or one of my trusted UK-based VAs, ensuring the right person is always in place.

Expertise and flexibility

With years of experience running my own business and a skilled team, I offer flexible support designed around your unique needs. Whether it’s a one-off project or ongoing assistance, my team and I provide a broader range of services compared to solo VAs. You’ll get the support you need, when you need it.

Building long-term partnerships

I build lasting relationships with my clients. The support you receive is always aligned with your business goals, ensuring a consistent, high-quality service. Clients often praise our personal touch and attention to detail, leading to long-term success.

Seamless, reliable service

I handle everything for you - from understanding your needs to getting you set up quickly. Once we’ve defined your requirements, I’ll ensure a smooth start, allowing you to focus on what matters most. All the VAs I work with are UK-based, ensuring reliable communication and an understanding of the local market and business culture.

Let's do this!

How it works

Getting started is simple. Whether you're ready to take action or just want to explore what's possible, I’ll guide you through every step.

Step 1: Tell me how I can help

Fill out a quick form or book a free call. I’ll help you identify the tasks that are holding you back and show you how a virtual assistant can make a big difference.

Step 2: Get tailored support

Based on your goals and working style, I’ll recommend the right VA for your business - either me or a trusted member of my UK-based team. If I don’t already have the perfect fit, I’ll go and find them for you.

Step 3: Meet your VA

If you’ll be working with one of my team, I'll personally introduce you and set up a no-obligation call with your VA to check that everything feels like a good fit. If it’s not quite right, I’ll introduce you to another VA until you feel confident and ready to move forward.

Step 4: Get started

Once you're happy with the support, we'll agree on the terms and get everything set up. Whether it's me or one of my team, your VA will begin supporting you, freeing you up to focus on what really matters.

Working with Emma has allowed us to hand over so many tasks and operations within our business that we never thought we'd be able to hand over to anyone else. It now means that we can concentrate on the stuff that we're good at. It has been a game-changer for us to know that our business is being supported by such an amazing person, who cares about what she does and how she does it. Emma has been one of our best business decisions yet!

— Natasha Johnson, The Celebrants Collective
I am so pleased that I came across Emma, as otherwise I never would've found my amazing VA Emily. I explained to Emma exactly what I needed, and she delivered! Emily has only been with me for a short time, but I already could not manage without her, and she has fitted into my business perfectly. Emily is everything Emma promised and more. I couldn't be happier with Emma's professional service from start to finish. Thank you so much.

— Dani Thomas, Virtuoso Luxury Private Travel Expert
Emma arrived as a bit of an earth angel just when I needed her most to help me gain time, efficiency and growth in my business. Emma's energy is in perfect alignment with how I work, and her positive and sunny outlook is refreshing and a wonderful addition to my business. I so appreciate and value her organisation, high standards of work, and the intuitiveness and resourcefulness she demonstrates to deliver above and beyond. I trust her implicitly and feel blessed to have found such a genuinely beautiful soul. I can't recommend her highly enough.

— Romy Wyser, Intuitive Guide, Empath and Spiritual Mentor
We highly recommend Emma and her team to anyone looking to outsource elements of their business and free up much-needed time. Emma very quickly introduced us to our brilliant virtual assistant, Tanya - and now we couldn’t be without her. She’s made a huge difference to the day-to-day running of our giftware business and has a wealth of administrative expertise. We can now focus on creating new collections, developing new partnerships and feel a lot more productive as a result.

— Sarah Edmonds, Sarah Edmonds Illustration Ltd
Emma is a first-class VA, and she has really transformed my live illustration business and my client onboarding system (before Emma came along, there was no system, haha). Super organised and responsive with an amazing eye for systems and simplifying things. Since having Emma on my team, I am more consistent, my newsletter actually goes out, and everything runs smoothly.

— Katie Chappell, Illustrated Live
We recently sourced a VA through Emma. The experience was personalised, friendly and very efficient. We particularly liked the shortlisting and being able to interview different candidates to get a match. We’re very happy with our choice and highly recommend Emma if you need VA support or other such services. Brilliant stuff!

— Rebecca Fitzgerald, StrawberrySocial Ltd
I am an illustrator and was finding that a lot of my days were spent doing social media, emails and admin, so I decided to get Emma to help me out so that I can spend more time illustrating. She is super organised and has really helped me clear the decks so that I can spend my days drawing, which is what I love best.

— Helen Stephens, Author & Illustrator
Working with Emma was so easy, and I was delighted with the service. Emma introduced me to Danielle, who is literally my sanity saviour! Danielle is so flexible that she has fit right into the chaos, which is my ND world. I can not recommend Emma and Danielle enough!

— Amy Bell, Teal Compliance Limited
Emma is an absolutely wonderful VA and I couldn't recommend her highly enough! I was a bit lost and worried about working with a VA before I met her, but she took all of the overwhelm and confusion straight out of my hands. We worked together on an extensive monthly marketing campaign that she provided all the support for. She is thorough, very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and an overall really lovely person to work with.

— Marissa Waite, Marissa Waite Creative
Emma’s service was perfectly seamless. Emma understood my needs and introduced me to a brilliant VA. She is super responsive, professional and has a fantastic and varied selection of VAs to meet your needs. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emma to make your life a whole lot easier!

— Sapna Sangar, Healing and Mindset Mentor
Emma is fantastic! She has been a great asset to my team. Every week, she delivers everything I ask for, and I couldn't ask for any more. I would highly recommend her services.

— Krissy Monaghan, Mess Around Ltd.
From the initial call, through the scoping discussions, right through to the placement of our fantastic VA Gemma, we have been delighted with the service we have had from Emma. The difference Gemma has made to the business has been a game-changer for us. Thank you, Emma.

— Scott Rimmer, Maverick Associates
A joy to work with! Emma's efficiency, thoroughness, knowledge and dedication have helped us hugely over the last 6 months, helping us to evolve and grow a relatively small Facebook group to a busy, popular page which has recently hit the 5,000 follower mark! Emma has been a great asset to the team, and we can't thank her enough for her help. Definitely consider Emma if you're looking for support with your online presence and growth.

— Rachael Cronin, Royal Voluntary Service
Emma introduced me to 3 potential VAs and gave me a good insight into each of their skill sets. She also provided a specific recommendation for who she felt would be best to support me, which was really helpful. The speed and efficiency with which everything gets dealt with and responded to by Emma and my VA is great. I would definitely recommend Emma and her business.

— Sophie Tully, Nutrition Scientist and Health Coach
Emma is absolutely brilliant. I've worked with her for almost a year, with her looking after my newsletters (plus some ad hoc work). I love that Emma takes care of everything seamlessly. I never have to chase (if anything, she occasionally has to give me a friendly nudge to send her the content!), there are never mistakes, and it just gets done. She also makes great suggestions to add more value. If you're looking to take some of the stress out of your business, hire Emma!

— Emma Cossey, The Freelance Lifestyle
We worked with Emma, who found us an amazing personal assistant whom we can work with virtually. This has really helped our organisation and has been a perfect solution.

— Alyson McGregor MBE, Altogether Better
Emma is highly efficient, reliable and professional. She has set up good systems of communication and is very organised! Emma has numerous skills and capabilities. I have been using her services for around 3 months now, and I know I’m not utilising her full potential as yet. I highly recommend Emma!

— Dr Belinda Coker, Your Trusted Squad
I had the pleasure of working with Emma to find a new VA to take over from my previous assistant. The customer service was exceptional, and the entire process was seamless and stress-free. Emma made sure to understand my specific needs and introduced me to Zoe, who has been fantastic. I’m very pleased with the ease of finding a new VA and the excellent support provided throughout the process. Highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a VA!

— Rob Brown, Accounting Influencers Limited
I was wasting a lot of precious time on tasks I didn't really understand, which led to poor time management and frustration. This is where Emma stepped in. Emma very quickly understood my needs and was great to work with. I was happy to give Emma free rein and was really happy with her work; her communications to me were clear, timely and always helpful. I highly recommend Emma.

— Mel MacColl, A.I.M Change Solutions Ltd
Great service and a lot of support throughout the onboarding process and even months into the partnership of working with our new VA. The VA we are working with is also fantastic, and things are going very well.

— Tom Edgar, BDA London
I have been using a Virtual Assistant (VA) for just over a year now, and have been paired with three VAs during that time. Emma is in a different class to the others. Obviously, being a VA has its advantages in terms of flexibility, but I don't think that makes it easy. It requires discipline and periodic focus to deliver genuine assistance to a remote exec. What I was looking for was someone to help me become more professionally effective, but in a cost-efficient way - the right person is key to that. A poor VA can even be a drain on your time, but a great VA like Emma is gold and worth every dime.

— Ben Sowter, Quacquarelli Symonds Limited
I would usually find a personal referral for VA support, but in haste, I found Emma’s services online. Emma was extremely efficient in both responding and quickly understanding my needs, and then in connecting me to Sarah, who has been a superb support. In addition to the all-round excellent and professional service (both Emma in managing the contracting and Sarah in the VA support), I also appreciate having my team in my timezone, having a VA who’s experienced working with my level of clients and their contexts, and the ability to flex the level of support up and down according to my needs. I certainly recommend Emma’s VA services.

— Sam Wigan, Sam Wigan Coaching
Emma is an incredibly quick, careful and thorough virtual assistant, and someone I also call a great friend since I started working with her. I'm not the most organised of people, but Emma has been brilliant at working around me or helping me keep to schedule, which has been so valuable whilst work has been so busy. She's a lifesaver, and I'd recommend her to anybody without hesitation. Trust me, you need her!

— Leanne Rhys-Moir, Heart and Soul Digital
Emma is an absolute pleasure to work with. Her organisational skills would really benefit anyone looking to have a helping hand in keeping their business running smoothly. She has really helped me get a head start with PR for my business and has done so with enthusiasm and a positive can-do attitude. Thank you so much Emma for all your hard work!

— Alice Stewart, Alice Stewart Jewellery
Emma is a superstar. She is exceptionally good at what she does, she's quick AND thorough (a real rarity) and she is a genuinely lovely person to boot. Plus, she copes with my endless dithering with patience and kindness. Get her on your team!

— Claire Bradford, Creating Ceremony
I have worked with Emma now for quite some time and what a find she is. Professional, knowledgeable, punctual and has a wonderful imagination and creativity for social media posts. I don’t know how I managed before Emma, she makes the work seem effortless. If you are looking for a VA, then look no further, she is amazing.

— Hannah Chatwell, Offington Therapies
Having Emma on board has been a lifeline in what has been an extremely hectic year for us. She just gets on with the job in hand - smart, efficient and always delivers above and beyond. We're so grateful to have her on our team and couldn't recommend her more highly!

— Jess Sims, The Doers

What it costs

When you're ready to get started, you can choose from three flexible options:

PAYG Support: £40+VAT per hour - ideal if you're unsure how many hours you'll need or if you need short-term, ad-hoc support. It’s flexible and requires no long-term commitment, making it a great option to get started with.
Monthly Retainers: £35+VAT per hour, with a minimum commitment of 10 hours per month and just one month's notice to adjust or cancel. This option is ideal for businesses needing consistent support, as monthly retainers guarantee your VA’s time and offer the best value for ongoing services.
Tailored Package: If you have clear, fixed requirements and would prefer a set fee for a specific deliverable - whether it’s a one-off project (such as implementing new systems or planning an event) or recurring tasks (like weekly newsletters or daily inbox management) - just let me know. I’ll provide a tailored package based on your needs.

I provide highly experienced, trusted UK-based virtual assistant support, tailored to meet your unique needs.

While there may be cheaper options available, I focus on delivering exceptional service with reliable, professional VAs who are committed to helping your business thrive.

You’ll receive tailored, reliable support, with no surprise costs.
