Pricing
Retainer Rates
£30 per hour
If you know you will need a certain number of hours each day, week or month, then I would recommend a retainer package which guarantees my time at £30 an hour.
Minimum 5 hours per week/month (£150) or any number of hours over 5 that you might require.
I’ll notify you when your hours are nearly up—no surprises! You’re welcome to adjust your hours (subject to availability), and any unused hours will expire after the period we agree upon at the start.
Ad hoc Rates
£35 per hour
If you only need ad hoc support, perhaps a one-off project, or are just trying out working with a Personal Assistant, rather than commit to a retainer.
I am not VAT registered.
Why choose me?
As a small business owner myself, I understand the unique challenges you face. Whether it's juggling multiple tasks, chasing invoices, or managing events, I’m here to lighten your load.
I’ll help you reclaim your time and focus on what matters most—whether that’s growing your business or simply having more time to breathe.
