Executive & business support
A virtual executive assistant for founders who've run out of hours.
I'm Amelia Mayhew, a London-based virtual assistant and qualified project manager. I take on the diary, the inbox and the day-to-day admin so you can get back to the work only you can do.
What it covers
The admin that builds up while you're busy
If you're a founder or director doing your own admin at ten at night because there's nobody to hand it to, this is the support for you. The diary, the inbox, the travel, the invoices that need chasing: the work that has to happen, but doesn't have to happen to you.
That's the gap I fill. I work remotely as your executive assistant, on UK time, and I do the work myself. Nothing is passed to a junior or an overseas team. You brief one person, and that person is the one who gets it done.
That might be a traditional PA set-up, with the diary and inbox looked after and travel and meetings handled. It might be taking charge of the recurring admin, such as expenses, invoicing and chasing payments. Or it might be a mix, which is the part we work out together on the discovery call and adjust as we go.

Why me
An EA with a project manager's head on
I've spent nine years supporting teams and C-suite executives in Spain, Australia, Switzerland and the UK, with combined experience as an executive assistant, a project manager and a recruitment consultant. The sectors ranged from accountancy and law to property and engineering.
An executive assistant who has also run projects doesn't just clear the inbox. I'm used to spotting what's missing, whether that's the supplier who hasn't replied or the deadline nobody has put in the diary, and organising the work around it.
I'm also a qualified project manager, so if the admin support grows into something bigger, like an event, a workflow overhaul or bringing on a new supplier, I can plan and run that too.
“Amelia has been incredible since day 1! She adapted to and helped improve our processes and systems near instantly and has been a great help day to day in managing and streamlining our admin. Easy to work and communicate with, Amelia gets any task done quickly, correctly and independently, whilst keeping all of us up to date. We couldn’t be happier!”
How it works
Retainers from 10 hours a month
Executive assistant support runs on a monthly retainer. Starter covers 10 to 15 hours a month, from £390 for 10 hours up to £585 at 15. Core, at 20 hours for £760, is the most popular package. Growth (30 hours) and Advanced (40 hours) add room for projects and operations, and Executive (60 hours) comes with priority availability and high-level support for owners who want a long-term partner.
Every package includes a complimentary two-hour onboarding, where we sort out access, tools and priorities, and all of them can be adjusted to suit how you work. See pricing →
No. I'm based in London and work on UK time, and I support clients across the UK and worldwide.
Yes, always. I'm a one-woman band and nothing is outsourced, so you'll never be handed over to someone you haven't met.
Core, at 20 hours a month, is the most popular package, but we'll work that out together on your free discovery call. Every package can be customised.
We talk through your business and what you'd like to hand over, then I suggest the package that fits, or scope a bespoke project if that suits better. The call is free.
