Omar Akram
Chief Operating Officer, Proco Group

I needed to find someone who could manage my diary, arrange international travel and complete ad hoc requests. Jill introduced me to one of her VA’s and I’m very impressed. The biggest compliment I can pay is the quality of work (i.e. credibility & reliability) is as good as my EA which I didn’t think would be possible!

My VA is discrete which is a very important quality to me and carries out tasks efficiently meaning blueumbrella delivers great value for money. She is able to effectively pick up many other tasks in addition to the excellent management of my diary and email inboxes. I have now used blueumbrella for over 3 years and I am a very satisfied customer.

Principal Consultant, Dan North & Associates Ltd

I didn’t need an assistant until I did. When my one-man consultancy became a several-person small business, blueumbrella came to my rescue. Jill matched me with an amazing VA who takes “organised” to a whole other level. I genuinely don’t know what I would do without her now.
