ABOUT

Built Around Better Business Support

Running a business shouldn't mean carrying every decision, every deadline and every detail yourself. At The Flexible PA, we believe business owners should spend their time leading their business, not being consumed by the day-to-day operations that keep it running.

That's Where We Come In

Founded in 2017 by Claire Wheatley, The Flexible PA has grown from a single Virtual Assistant into a trusted Executive Assistant agency, providing Executive Assistance, Executive Support and Virtual Assistance to businesses, charities and professional service firms across the UK.

We don't simply provide admin support. We become an extension of your business, providing the experienced people and practical support you need to keep things moving.

Whether you need an experienced Executive Assistant, executive support for a busy founder, governance support for your board, project coordination or someone to bring structure to your operations, we carefully match you with the right specialist for your business and the way you work.

More Than A Virtual Assistant

The Title "Virtual Assistant" Doesn't Always Reflect the Level of Support we Provide

Our team includes experienced Executive Assistants with backgrounds in business management, governance, operations, customer service, finance, project management, marketing and executive support.

That means we're not just completing tasks. We're solving problems, improving processes, creating capacity and helping ambitious businesses operate more effectively.

Our Executive Assistance and virtual assistance can range from managing the everyday demands of running a business to taking ownership of projects, improving systems and providing the operational support that allows you to focus on growth.

A Flexible Approach That Grows With YOu

Hiring an employee isn't always the right solution

Our flexible model gives you access to experienced Executive Support and business support without the commitment, overheads or recruitment challenges of employing someone directly. As your business evolves, your support can evolve too.

Need more hours? Easy. Need a different specialist? We'll make it happen. Need holiday or sickness cover? Your business keeps moving because you're supported by an agency, not just one individual. It's flexible business support designed to adapt around you.

Our Standards

We Treat Your Business like ours
We Look for Better ways of doing things
We Become People you Can rely on

Hello

I founded The Flexible PA in 2017 after spending years supporting senior leaders across the private and not-for-profit sectors.

Having experienced first-hand the pressures business owners face, I built an agency that delivers the kind of proactive, high-quality Executive Support I wished more organisations had access to.

Today, I lead a carefully selected team of experienced Executive Assistants, matching each client with the right specialist while ensuring every partnership delivers the professionalism, reliability and personal service The Flexible PA is known for.

I believe that when ambitious businesses have the right operational support behind them, they gain the time, structure and confidence to grow sustainably.

"I approached Claire for some support with the practical/admin side of my business. What I didn’t expect was that she takes a fraction of the time I do to get stuff done. She’s provided real practical insights on how to introduce systems to streamline what I do and she does things I didn’t even know I needed doing. Of course there is a cost to having a VA but honestly, Claire does the things I’m not great at and this allows me time to focus on growing my business. I always recommend Claire and her team because I truly appreciate the value they bring."

"I’m so glad I had asked Claire help with my business admin as I was doing more and more. I was spending more and more time on admin which means less and less time on developing my business and what I’m really good at. This simply doesn’t make good business sense. Claire and her team are amazing, friendly, efficient, and easy to work with, and that makes all the difference for me. It’s great I don’t have to ‘manage them’ and the work is done so working with The Flexible PA saves me time, money, and a whole lot of stress."
