Your Virtual Assistant

Why spend your time working in your business when you could be working on it?

Let me make care of your to do list and release you to focus on what matters to you.

A bit about me

Hello and welcome, I'm Estelle, let me tell you a little about myself.

Before Covid, I worked as HR Manager in a large secondary school where I was responsible for giving strategic vision and leadership for all the HR management functions. Covid lockdowns gave me the opportunity to re-evaluate things and take stock. I realised that I could use my skills and experience working from home, supporting small businesses / entrepreneurs with the admin tasks that bog them down, freeing them to use their skills and talents doing what they love and to grow their businesses. A win, win situation …. and so, Chew Valley VA was born.

Friends and colleagues would tell you that I'm the 'go to' person if you want to get something done! I am well organised, proactive, professional, trustworthy, confidential, calm, adaptable, efficient with a good sense of humour.

Although my specialism is HR supporting, small businesses, and HR Professionals with all aspects of HR admin and processes, I have a wealth of experience across all areas of administration and research projects.

On a personal basis one of the things I love is motorcycling! There's nothing like riding down to the coast, or through the countryside, here or in Spain particularly. I also love walking the dog, anything to do with animals, wildlife and nature.
