Virtual assistant for UK small business owners

Get your evenings back.

I’m Rory. I help small business owners across the UK with their admin and the technical stuff that gets in the way.

That might mean looking after your inbox, following up enquiries, chasing invoices or keeping on top of appointments. Or it could be sorting out your business email, fixing something on your website or working out why something technical isn’t doing what it should.

Basically, the jobs you keep meaning to get around to but never quite do.

Fixed-price jobs and monthly retainers too. How pricing works

How it works

Most clients can get started within a week.

No long sales process.

Get in touch
  1. Start with a chat

    Tell me what you need help with, either by email or on a free 15-minute call. Whatever works best for you.

  2. Pick what fits

    Ad-hoc hours, a monthly retainer or a fixed-price job, whichever suits the way you work.

  3. Send it over

    You get your own client portal. Send work there, attach anything I need, and get on with your day.

  4. See where it is

    Every job shows as in progress, done or waiting on you. No chasing.

You can always see where things are.

Email is fine for a conversation. It’s not great for keeping track of ongoing admin. Requests get buried, attachments go missing, and you end up asking “did you get my message about the invoice?”, which is exactly the sort of thing you were hoping to stop doing.

So every client gets a private portal. Send work there, attach anything I need, and see the status, time used and what’s been invoiced without having to ask.

Your requests

  • Chase the two overdue invoicesdone
  • Set up DMARC on the new domainin progress
  • Book the Tuesday call with the accountantdone
  • Send me the supplier price listwaiting on you

Time used and invoices are in here too.

Hi, I'm Rory.

Based in Peterborough, working with small business owners across the UK. More than 20 years across customer support, operations and tech, including around 10 years in technical support.

Calm, practical, and more interested in fixing the actual problem than talking about it.

Free admin kit.

Twenty quick wins you can do this week, plus five templates you can print and keep using.
It’s for the small bits of admin that quietly pile up. Nothing complicated, and nothing that needs another app.
Enter your email and I’ll send it over.

Kind words from clients.

Pulled straight from Google, so nothing here is cherry-picked.

Tell me what's not working.

A rough description is plenty. Send me a message or book a free 15-minute call, and we’ll work out whether I can help. No pitch, no fuss.

Free. Fifteen minutes. No hard sell.
