Does this sound like you right now?
You’ve built a successful business, but you can’t take on any more work because you are at capacity juggling client work and the never ending administration.
There aren’t enough hours in the day to do everything, so business isn’t growing it’s just maintained. You feel overwhelmed and stuck.
The routine but necessary administration tasks you used to have time to do are frequently put aside, piling up and causing you stress.
You know you need to streamline your processes to become more efficient, but you don’t ever have time to sit down and work out how or what to do to make that happen.
You know you need help but you worry that no one can do the work as well as you do and you don’t have time to show anyone anyway!
There’s no time to learn new things so you just keep doing what you’ve always done.
You don’t want to employ a salaried assistant, but you do need to delegate certain tasks to free up your time so that you can move up a gear in your business.
You work into the evening to try and catch up. Family and friends don’t see you as much these days and your tired.
You’re unclear how to work out what to delegate and how a virtual assistant can work ‘alongside’ you and support you.
You’ve worked with a VA before, but it didn’t work out because it wasn’t the right fit and you ended up not really knowing how to work together effectively.
Let us help you!
At S.A.M. we’re about service and partnership. Your business is unique so your support should be too. We adapt, we tailor, and we integrate into your business becoming an extension of your team, your goals, and your aspirations. Work with us and step into a world where your homelife is sacred, the business is running smoothly, and you feel in control. Get in touch with us to discuss how we can help support you and your business.
Why work with us?
Searching for, interviewing and retaining a Virtual Assistant can be a challenge if you don’t know where to look. If you do find someone, you need to interview them and then sign them up with the correct and legally binding contract. Before you do that though you need to check that they have the right insurance cover and registrations. It all takes up your precious time!
That’s where we come in. We do all the searching, checking and contracts for you, saving you from the financial cost of using your time, and eliminating the stress of the searching and engaging process.
Knowing what to delegate can also feel like a barrier. When you’re busy and doing everything yourself it can be a challenge to see what you can or should delegate to a virtual assistant. We have a process in place to help you with this plus a free tool. Download it here:

About Sam
I was born and grew up in Snowdonia with Welsh as my first language, but have lived in Gloucestershire since the early 90s. My mum and grandmother were artists and my father was a photographer who became the first Asian Mayor of Bangor. I’m divorced with 2 boys.
In 2014 I decided to leave the security of my long-term office job in a local secondary when I realised I could no longer tolerate the bullying I was experiencing from managers and senior staff, it was such a toxic environment and it was making me ill. I vowed never to work for another organisation again, and I haven’t!
I set myself up as a Virtual Assistant. It was one of the best decisions I ever made and I have been happily working with and supporting a variety of businesses ever since.
Three years into the business people started asking me for help with Mailchimp. I realised that I used to love teaching (in my past life I had been a trainer in the adult education sector) so, encouraged by a friend, I wrote and launched some workshops which, to my surprise and delight, sold out. I love helping people to achieve so, working as a VA and a trainer is my dream job.
I run a Networking group for local businesswomen called Cheltenham Ladies Who Latte, which I set up when I started my business in 2017. Networking is a key part of any business and I love meeting new people and helping them on their journey.
No longer a sole trader, I now work with a growing team of Associate VAs. It was always my plan to help others by offering Associate work. I know that marketing a business can be a challenge for many so I always planned to work with others and help them on their journey.
Outside of work, I am passionate about photography (no surprise there!!). I have been recording still images since I was young with my most famous images being of Lady Diana when she visited my home town of Caernarfon in 1981.
My other great love (aside from my not-so-little cherubs of course) is music. I am a member of a choir (Rock Choir) and love belting out a tune as part of a crowd.
Your business is unique, so should your support be. Schedule a call so we can discuss how we can support you and your unique business.
