My story
Built from real business experience
I've spent my career running other people's businesses and then running my own. I've done HR at Business Manager level, owned and operated a trades firm, run a beauty and teeth whitening practice, managed a storefront, and worked the front of house in cafés and events.
Every one of those jobs had the same problem buried in it: the work that actually moves the business — quotes out, calls answered, bookings confirmed, invoices chased, staff sorted — gets squeezed by the work the owner has to do themselves.
VA365 is the team I wish I'd had. A proper office department, on a fixed monthly fee, that already speaks the language of your industry. No recruitment, no payroll, no 6-week onboarding.
I'm hands-on with every client we take on. If you're a trades owner, a salon, a café, a recruiter or an events business, you're talking to someone who has actually stood in your shoes.

What I've actually done
Not a CV — the businesses I've run and the work I've done inside them. It's why VA365 assistants don't need 6 weeks to figure your industry out.
