Life can be busy and sometimes we all need an extra pair of hands.

Whether you need help at work or at home, on a regular basis, or just from time to time, I can help... By providing high quality virtual and local administration support, my aim is to free up your time by doing what I do best, allowing you to do what you do best. Whether you need more time to focus on your business, more time for family and friends, or perhaps more time to do what you enjoy, leave

it to me. I'm flexible, dependable and can support you on a regular or ad-hoc basis to suit you and/or your business' needs. Whatever you task me with, my promise to you is that I will deliver to the best of my ability...

I’m in training again… I’m really not very good at stopping, I am instead very good at doing. Achieving things, however big or small, is what drives me - it’s what I make a living out of after all, so on the whole that’s quite handy! To reset, reframe, regroup and rest however requires an element of stopping, or at least slowing… I have pondered this conundrum over the last few days and have come to the conclusion that we can fight against who we are and how we are wired, or we can use those traits to positive effect and achieve what we want or need to in a different way. So, whilst I’m on holiday I have established a somewhat shorter more targeted list of things to-do each day:

- Move a little (ideally more than I do at home)
- Drink more water
- Eat well (i.e. enough, not lots!)
- Sleep enough (even if that requires a cheeky little nap in the day)
- Take a moment to be mindful

So far today I’ve eaten a healthy breakfast, I’ve just refilled my water bottle, and shortly I’m going to climb into that pool and have a swim (mindfully), before getting back on my beanbag on the beach for a nap whilst I dry off… I think I’ve cracked it! A drink at the bar at sunset to celebrate is in order - I’ll add it to the list! 😉

There’s never a dull moment at AQHQ!… One minute I’m implementing a system to provide a healthcare clients’ employees access to their earnings ahead of payday and transitioning new staff and services to their organisation, the next I’m hopping on a flight to Turkey to get to work on the behind the scenes admin for the European Institute of Golf Course Architects’ Annual Conference! Pre-flight admin complete... Let’s get stuff done, in the sun! 😎

I’m out of the office today. I’m on a training day. I’m training myself to to stop; to think; to be grateful for the quite unexpected success of going solo in the world of work; and to be comfortable with not ‘getting stuff done’ sometimes. As I sit looking out over the beautiful South Downs, in the most comfy robe, all oily and relaxed from a massage, and about to tuck into this rather epic looking burger (the chips are amazing - I couldn’t resist before taking a snap!), I'm thinking about how much I enjoy working with each and every one of my clients, and how lucky I am to have the privilege of delivering so many different and exciting things for them. My next training session will be more intense, two weeks on a beach in the sunshine, but there’s lots more stuff to be done before then, so I’ll get back to this brief interlude! Today I’m investing in me… I’m ‘Out Of Office’, and I’m ok with that, because it makes me better at being me 😊

“Thanks for all your hard work and tremendous attention to detail. Very good meeting today. Well done.”

Another happy customer.. 😎

When you finish a task for a client and they reply with this:

“I wanted to say thanks again for your work on these – you did an awesome job and I really appreciate your willingness to turn your hand to anything!

You’ve picked this up far, far quicker than I could have expected and it probably would have sat on my list for ages had you not stepped up”

That right there is what AQ is all about.. 😊

20/05/2022

Out and about bright and early this morning helping complete some important work for a client. I’ve got a list, I’ve got plan, and I’ve got a lot of miles to cover! Already clocking up the miles and ticking things off that list... 😎

15/05/2022

The question ‘what can I do to help?’ can lead to to some unexpected tasks! It’s Sunday and I’m sat here with a coffee reflecting… There’s been a lot of ‘getting stuff done’ since taking the scary step to fly solo 18 months ago. I’m still learning every day, and taking on new challenges so I can help my clients focus on what they do best by being efficient with their time and resources. That is what the AQ concept was and is all about. I’m happy with that 😊

06/04/2022

I love to ‘get stuff done’ and work with my clients to share their load, but in recent years I’ve learned that looking after yourself is important, and rest is essential to being present and effective. Someone once told me ‘you cannot pour from an empty cup’, which is so very true. So with that in mind, AQHQ is closed until the 19th April whilst my cup is refilled (repeatedly, with Pina Colada 😉)

The one year anniversary of publishing the AQ website and opening AQHQ passed this week. Normally I’d be fretting about not having posted on the day and observed the first birthday appropriately - as a ‘do-er’ and a project manger I do hate to miss a deadline! However, on the day I was working hard delivering for my clients, which is what AQ is all about after all. Instead I chose to wait until the weekend to take some time to reflect on quite how unexpectedly successful the last year has been, what wonderful people I have had the pleasure to meet and work with, but above all, quite what a different place I find myself in professionally after taking that first step into the unknown a year and three days ago. The best bit of course is that we get to eat cake to celebrate - and who doesn’t like an excuse to eat cake?! 😉

It’s great to get out and about and meet clients and their teams in person! Almost everything can be done virtually, but there’s huge value in meeting face-to-face once in a while too. It’s been my first AQ trip into the big smoke today 😊 After the last few days of dotting i’s, crossing t’s, and printing packs for attendees from all over the country, it’s been brilliant to finally meet the first team! Back tomorrow to do it all over again with two more teams, putting lots more faces to names!..

I've been meaning to put the dates for the UK VA Conference 2021 in my diary this week and buy my ticket so I don't miss out, so late last night I searched my mailbox knowing I'd seen some emails come in earlier this week with details of the event - I was being lazy really as I knew exactly where they were filed! OMG! I'm so glad I did, because up popped an email that had gone into my junk folder from the UK VA Awards team that started with "CONGRATULATIONS!"

Well, what can I say.. I am absolutely thrilled to have been shortlisted for the UK VA Awards in the category UK Best Newcomer VA 2021! 🙂 It's been a whirlwind start to the world of working for myself, but now I'm all set up at home, I am there for when my children need me, I have a small but perfectly formed client base with whom I hope to form long-term relationships, and above all, I'm absolutely loving it! What more could I ask for in just a few short months?...

04/01/2021

Another happy customer! There was quite a lot to do this time, including things that didn’t even make it to the list! PC updates, virus scanning, email filing and a bit of advice on avoiding phishing emails is all part of the regular support provided. It’s all done now though! Is there an older person in your life that finds this all a bit overwhelming and could do with some AQ support this year?..

01/01/2021

Happy New Year everyone! Here’s to a better 2021! Onwards and upwards..

23/12/2020

As the working year draws to a close at AQHQ, with a glass of mulled wine in hand (and a cheeky mince pie!), the i’s dotted and the t’s crossed on my to-do list so I can hit the ground running for my lovely clients in January, I’d like to thank you all for your support with my new venture, and a wish you and your families a safe and happy Christmas, whatever that might look like this year..
