General VA Services
You don’t need a full-time hire, but you do need help!
Gain a reliable senior PA-style remote assistant who keeps your day moving, removes the noise and helps you look organised to clients.
Who is my general VA service for?
Small to medium business owners and senior professionals who want fewer balls dropped, tidy files and faster follow-through.
You like straight talking, and you want someone who can “do more in two hours than a normal person”.
What things look like now
You feel behind, worry about looking disorganised and spend evenings catching up.
You know your time should be spent on work that matters, not administrative tasks that stall you.
Meetings collide, travel plans change, documents need tidying, suppliers need chasing, and your files live on a chaotic desktop.
But don’t worry, I’ll help you move from messy to manageable.
How I’ll help you
I’ve been the person behind the scenes since the 1990s: PA, office manager, HR, events and project management across public, private and third sectors.
The list below gives you an idea of where I can offer support (but please ask if there’s anything else you need help with):
Calendar management and meetings: arrange, confirm, and reschedule, with links, locations, and buffers, so you finish on time.
Travel coordination: simple itineraries, holds and updates when plans shift.
Client and supplier communication: follow-ups, light templated replies and status nudges that keep things moving.
Document and report formatting: tidy, consistent documents that are ready to send.
Invoicing and chasing payments: basic send and chase so cash is not stuck.
Online research and simple procurement: find options, shortlist, and place straightforward orders.
Digital file organisation: clear folders you can live with. I can’t cope with everything piled on a desktop, haha!
If you don’t see a task listed, give me a shout. I can probably help or suggest the simplest way to get it done.

Packages and pricing
Rate
General VA is £38 per hour. Same rate for ad hoc and retainer.
Retainers
Choose 5, 10, 15 or 20 hours per month. You pay upfront to guarantee my time. Time is tracked to the minute, and reports show a clear breakdown of where the time was used.
Retainer work takes precedence over ad hoc work, and is turned around in 24-48 hours.
If you need a different number of hours, give me a shout.
Ad hoc
Perfect for one-offs or a busy month, also at £38 per hour, with the same transparent tracking. Minimum of 1 hour per month. Usually turned around in 48-72 hours.
Rush work
If you need a turnaround within 12 to 24 hours, I offer this at double my hourly rate. Just ask and I’ll do my best to help.
A note on flexibility
Get in touch if you need something different from what I’ve listed, or if you need a different number of retainer hours. We will make it work.
