Supporting your business,  saving you time

I’m Terrie, a Virtual Assistant based in Nottinghamshire, East Midlands, UK.

I live with my partner and my gorgeous dog, and when I'm not busy helping business owners like you, you’ll usually find me embracing a slower pace of life...

 

Chilling in the garden or curled up with a true crime documentary, some chocolate, and a big mug of tea (the essentials, right?).

A small business owner — just like you

I get it. Running a business means you're wearing ALL the hats - marketing, emails, invoicing, social media, admin... it never ends!

I don’t have a whole team behind me either. It's just me and my associate, Nat, working from home (or anywhere with Wi-Fi, really!) - so I know exactly how much love, time, and energy goes into building something for yourself.

That's why I started my Virtual Assistant business - to help amazing small business owners and SME owners like YOU take some of that weight off your shoulders.

Background

Before jumping into the VA world, I spent over 7 years working in two different emergency services, plus a whole mix of other industries like retail, sales, hospitality, entertainment, and even NFT community engagement!


It’s been a ride - but every experience helped me build some seriously useful skills:

  • Staying calm under pressure

  • Getting super organised

  • Communicating clearly

  • Juggling all the plates (and not dropping them!)

More than anything, those jobs taught me that time with the people you love is everything.


For a long time, my partner and I hardly had a day off together - no dog walks, no date nights, no lazy Sundays.

I barely saw my family. It wasn’t the life I wanted forever.

So in July 2022, I decided to start something new - working part-time as a Virtual Assistant. By February 2023, I took the leap, left my job, and went all in.

Now, I help other busy business owners take back their time, too.

Why I’m here 

Running a business is no joke.


It’s so easy to end up glued to your laptop late at night, answering emails, updating your website, scheduling posts... and wondering when you last had a proper day off.

Trust me - I've been there.


It took me a long time to figure out what real work/life balance actually feels like (spoiler: it’s worth chasing!).

Now, my goal is simple:
Help you spend less time on the tasks that drain you, and more time doing what you love.

Whether that’s growing your business, taking your kids to school, having a proper lunch break, or just finally taking a deep breath.

Let’s team up!

If you're ready to have a little more breathing space in your business (and your life!), I'd love to help.


Pop me a message and let's have a chat about how we can make your days easier, calmer, and a lot more fun.

Contact me - I can't wait to meet you!

How I can help

As your Virtual Assistant, I can step in and take care of the bits that slow you down, like:

  • Email and inbox management

  • Social media support

  • Scheduling and diary management

  • Client communication

  • Invoicing and admin

  • Website updates

  • And plenty more!

Think of me as your right-hand woman - your Bestie in Biz! - cheering you on and making sure nothing slips through the cracks.
