What They Say About Me
I can't recommend Kate highly enough. I started working with Kate over 9 months ago and in that time she has offered invaluable support. Kate is adaptable, professional and responsive. I would not hesitate to recommend Kate to anyone looking for comprehensive PA support

Kate is fantastic to work with, always calm, friendly, and professional. She has worked as a Boards Administrator for Be the Business for several years now and we only ever receive positive feedback about her approach and organisational skills. Over the last year as we scaled our boards programme and employed some new Boards Administrators, Kate took on the role of providing external supervision for the group – sharing her knowledge and calm approach from an independent viewpoint. Kate has been fundamental in making our Boards programme a success.

The complete PA is such a great service, especially for those that have never had a PA before. Kate is great at helping you to learn to let go...so you can focus on your business.
Tacita Small, Founder & MD of The Small HR Company
Kate really is a superstar. I first met her when she was working for Be the Business in a more traditional Virtual PA role, and so when we needed some support to get a new programme idea up and running, we called on her. She's been brilliant at taking uncertainty in her stride, managing her responsibilities effectively, supporting a wide range of stakeholders with a huge degree of patience when things don't go exactly to plan, and just being incredibly capable. I hear nothing but good things about Kate from the board members and business leaders she supports.
Sheena McDermott, Head of Leadership and Management Programmes at Be the Business
Kate has been a great asset to our business. She is organised and efficient with a great energy. Her experience and ability means that I have the confidence in her to take on the tasks that free me up to concentrate on my priorities and give me more time with my clients. Her professional and flexible approach has significantly helped to drive the business forward and let me get on with doing what I do best. I have seen a clear increase in cash flow since engaging with her as I am no longer carrying out tasks which are not related to my skillset and are not fee earning. Within just a few weeks she has become integrated into the business and brings ideas and solutions which take her beyond the skills of any PA or office manager I have worked with.

I have had the pleasure of working with Kate for almost a year now. Kate is a fantastic extension to our team. She is very professional, focused and detailed oriented, whilst being extremely personable and a great team player. If you are looking for a VA who can help you with streamlining your day-to-day deliverables in your business, or your personal life, and manage this in a professional and confidential capacity, I highly recommend Kate
Janet Milner-Walker, Founder & Director, Bespoke Advantage
Kate has worked with me providing virtual PA support for the last 6 months. She is professional, efficient, gets up to speed extremely quickly and provides an excellent support service. Throughout her time working for me I always felt she was 100% dedicated to the role, the organisation and me. I would recommend Kate to anyone looking for support

Kate has been a huge help to my team, drafting correspondence efficiently and well. She's fast, accurate and articulate and has worked flexibly with my office team whenever needed.
Sir Charlie Mayfield, Chairman of the John Lewis Partnership
Kate’s Complete PA service met the precise need we had. She is providing a highly professional and responsive support to senior executives, with a fantastic attitude and energy. She is extremely organised and doesn’t miss a trick. Kate’s flexible and efficient approach means that you really get value for money - paying just for the time and support you need. Unlike with traditional employment contracts, you don’t have to spend a long time figuring out how many hours you think you’ll need. You can get started with Kate and then flex as you need to.I couldn’t be more delighted with the service she is providing. I will continue to ask her for support and recommend her to others.

Kate has been a fantastic addition to our team. She's so efficient and her level of communcation and professionalism has been an enormous help to all of us at Be the Business - what did we do without her!
Gabby Fleming
Talent Consultant and Leadership Coach
Kate was efficient, organised, proactive, a pleasure to work with. During the 3 years she worked as my PA she fulfilled her role comprehensively taking control of my Diary/Agenda, Conference Management Planning, Travel Organisation, Customer Service follow up. Whilst this was the core of the role, carried out extremely effectively. Kate's real value was her ability to anticipate what was required before it was asked for and once given an objective develop and shape it beyond expectations. This made her indispensable! I am sure anyone using this service will not be disappointed!

Kate was my Personal Assistant for 18 months. Over the years I have had a number of PAs, many extremely good but Kate was exceptional. She has a delightful manner, everyone warms to her and she is able to deal with challenging personnel issues brilliantly well. She is extremely organised, diligent and able to juggle more balls than you'd think possible. She is innovative and creative and always looks to find better solutions to problems and ensure I was always on the front foot. Immensely capable, instantly likeable and a great team member, I can't recommend her highly enough.
