“I'm incredibly happy to have engaged the services of Kate from Virtual Prestige. Having someone look at my business and draw together different ideas to form a strategy has been invaluable. Baking and creating doesn't leave a lot of time for marketing & admin."
"Kate stepped into the breach at our bespoke software delivery business to act as our Virtual EA. Her service was responsive and flexible. Most impressively, she grapsed an understanding of our business very quickly and was therefore able to support the board promptly."
"Kate was a massive help at a really busy time for us. She's been able to get up to speed incredibly quickly, work out the various tools and companies that we use and get stuck in. She had no problem contacting staff, partners, suppliers etc. and using her initiative to get jobs done."
"There are many VA/EAs out there, the difference with Kate is she comes from both an accounting and team management background so she really does understand some of the pressures on a buiness owner and has a high level skill set to help."
"Running a business can be like spinning too many plates. Virtual Prestige helped me ensure my clients are getting the best from me! They had the ability to pick through my brain-dumps and synthesise a clear action plan, often going the extra mile to get a project started."
"Through Kate's consultancy, she clarified what our roles as directors of a CIC should be, while empathising with our challenges as an all-female team setting up a new company whilst juggling existing professional and personal commitments. She helped reassure us, as well as drive us onwards."
Kate has always been willing to offer help and support beyond the coaching sessions and this has been much appreciated. Through the support I have received, I have set my business up and have quickly established a strong client base."
She is the confident in your pocket that you never knew you needed. Kate goes above and beyond to deliver the best services to clients, whilst ensuring that each interaction feels like it has a personal touch. We would be lost without her.
