About Ways and Means

Being organised is truly at the core of who I am — both professionally and personally.

​

With over 15 years of extensive experience as a C-suite Executive Assistant, I have had the privilege of working closely with CEOs, Boards, and Executive Directors across FTSE 100 and 250 companies in London and the South West. This high-level 'always-on' support has shaped my ability to anticipate needs, streamline processes, and provide unwavering assistance in high-pressured environments.

​

I began my career in retail and customer service before moving into an Executive PA role at the head office of a well-known retailer best known for its beloved Percy Pig! It was there that I realised the impact of not just managing tasks effectively and at pace, but the importance of fully understanding the individuals I supported in a holistic manner - helping them to excel both personally and professionally.

​

On a more personal note, I grew up caring for a parent with complex mental health needs. I feel that this experience instilled in me a deep sense of emotional intelligence, and adaptability, working with various professionals at different levels to advocate on behalf of a parent that can't always do this for themselves.

​

I set-up Ways and Means PA Services in 2021 as I wanted to take the experiences I had learnt and help a variety of different businesses run like clockwork behind the scenes so that they could focus on growth and achieve their dreams.

​

The name was born from trying to capture the essence of this and the Executive Assistant role in general - doing everything you can to support those you are working with, using all ways and means possible at your disposal. 

​

Growing my own company at the same time as supporting other owners, I feel I have an unique insight into the time administrative demands can take up. Therefore I also use a small and trusted team of associates to support me too and I couldn't do what I do now without them!

​

When your business reaches the point where you can no longer manage it all on your own, that’s a clear sign of growth and I see that as a success worth celebrating!

​

Ways and Means is my passion. Let me help you focus on yours.
