Always chasing your tail and struggling to tick off your to-do list?
Or perhaps there are things on there which you actively keep dropping to the bottom of it?
Are your diary appointments impeding the flow of your day, or do you have an inbox which makes you want to throw your device out of the window?
I understand, in fact, I’d love to help you. My superpower is efficient organisation with an excellent level of attention to detail. I can ensure your day, whether it’s business or personal, runs smoothly so that you can get on with doing what you need to do so that you can free up time for the fun things in life!
Hi, I’m Lucy.
I’ve been working as an Executive Assistant for over 15 years and love it. I love to be organised. I love getting to know you so I can anticipate your needs, which enables me to be one step ahead to clearing any bumps along the way. And I love to tick things off my to-do list so that you can clear yours!
I’m calm, professionally confident, approachable and great with people.
I provide high level administrative and executive support. I have C-Suite experience in a wide range of sectors including luxury property, media, HNWI / HNWF and private household, and independent schools.
How I can help you
I want you to be able to get on with your day knowing that the admin is taken care of, your car is booked, your appointments are rescheduled, the flight is on time and the dog has an appointment at the pooch parlour.
Or maybe it’s the monthly invoicing and reconciling which is weighing you down, I’ve got it.
You may have a business to run or maybe you have a busy household to keep on top of – I am here to support you.
Effortless support without the hassle (or admin)
I am an independent Executive Assistant – meaning I’m self-employed, pay my own tax, NI and insurance, holiday and sick pay, coffee and occasional cheeky vino! You only pay for the hours you require and any charges we agree in advance, such as specialist software you would like me to use.
I will provide you with a bespoke service, tailored to the individual needs of you and your business.
I offer the following services:
Diary Management
Business & Personal
Scheduling and rescheduling of appointments, commercial flight, private jet or helicopter and car bookings, meal reservations, itinerary – diary organisation which allows your day to run smoothly.
Inbox Support
Reduction of emails in your inbox by folder creation and maintenance, unsubscribing from junk mail, checking emails at agreed times to flag or respond, out of office or holiday management – giving you more time to attend to the important things.
Administration Support
Collation of business expenses for invoicing and reconciliation, letter and email creation, proof reading, household staff and supplies management (no ironing! 😉) and anything else you don’t want to do or don’t have the time to do!
Call Handling / Gate Keeping – Answering the phone and prioritising calls.
Hours & Rates
I charge £35 per hour and you only pay for as many or as few hours as you need. You might want regular or adhoc support, it’s all possible.
Hours booked on a monthly retainer are given priority, with lead time tasks and deliverables agreed in advance. Minimum four hours per month allowing you to budget.
Hours are valid for one month from the date of order and do not carry over.

Lucy managed my extensive diary and travel, which included personal and business travel, events and appointments. Lucy was organised and solution orientated, and quickly understood how I worked so ensuring my day ran smoothly and I could trust that everything was ready for my next meeting or trip. During this time my schedule was incredibly busy and ever changing, with transatlantic travel plans being cancelled and rescheduled overnight but Lucy took this all in her stride and would ensure everything was arranged perfectly with my itinerary at the ready! Lucy’s role also included liaison with my household and yacht staff, which she handled with ease.

Lucy worked as my Executive Assistant at Amoria whilst we were developing a luxury residential community with a holistic wellbeing centre at its core. As a start-up business, Lucy’s support also encompassed office management and team administration, which was always organised, efficient and one step ahead. Outside of the office, Lucy looked after some of my personal admin and I felt confident in her ability to carry out tasks with diligence and discretion.

Lucy is a sophisticated and highly personable Executive Assistant. Nothing is too small or too large to organise. She is so very effortlessly calm under pressure and the little extras she brings to her work are very much valued by those who work with her and those whom she is organising! She has a skilled and elegant eye for detail in every she does whilst her work ethic is second to none.
