Highly competent virtual personal assistant (VPA) for less.

You get to choose: Personal assistants are personal. That’s why you get to choose from a carefully selected shortlist—someone who matches your preferences, work style, and specific needs. You decide when your assistant works, what tasks they handle, and how much support you need—scaling up or down as your workload changes.
Skilled and Trained: Personal assistants require certain personality traits that allow them to perform well. In our recruitment, we looked out for these traits and also someone with with a solid background in admin, scheduling, and task management.
Back-up Team to Ensure Continuity: If your main assistant is unavailable due to sick leave, a trained back-up steps in—so your work keeps moving without disruption.
Flexible Support: Pay by the hour so you can scale up or down based on your workload—no long-term contracts or overheads.

Is it worth it to hire a personal assistant?
It really depends on your needs. If you frequently find yourself spending more than an hour or two a day (or more than 4 hours each week) on tasks that can be better delegated, a personal assistant can help free up your time for more important work. It’s a practical way to stay organised, reduce stress, and focus on what truly drives your business forward.
When to hire a virtual assistant?
A virtual assistant makes sense when you’re overwhelmed with recurring tasks but don’t yet need (or want) a full-time hire. It’s ideal for founders, small teams, or anyone managing growing responsibilities. If you find yourself answering the same emails, rescheduling meetings, or updating spreadsheets daily—it’s time.
What makes a good personal assistant?
A good personal assistant is more than just organised—they’re someone who understands how to make your day run smoother without constant instruction.
They’re detail-oriented, responsive, and able to anticipate needs before you even ask. Strong communication skills are essential, along with the ability to manage time and juggle multiple priorities.
A great assistant adapts to your working style, keeps things from falling through the cracks, and gives you the mental space to focus on higher-level decisions. It’s this combination of reliability, initiative, and discretion that makes a real difference.
Many of our clients have also shared that choosing a personal assistant often comes down to intuition. After meeting and speaking with a candidate, they just have a sense that the fit is right—and more often than not, they’re spot on.
