Work Background
CEO & Founder
Ministry VA LtdCEO & Founder
Sep. 2019I have been in roles before where things outside of my remit have been 'dumped' at my desk, some I have enjoyed and have stretched me, but most have just sapped my time and energy. Working closely in the family business its clear that self employed people have no choice but to do things they either don't know how to or don't want to. The love for their business becomes lost under a pile of paperwork, trying to organise or deliver training, trying to book events, organising content and files! Ministry VA is here to help and take that away, cast a fresh eye over things and help you save time, reach goals and have more fun!
