An executive assistant manages your diary, inbox, meetings, travel, and day-to-day administration, helping you stay organised and focused on higher-value work. They also coordinate stakeholders, prepare documents, manage follow-ups, and handle confidential information with professionalism and discretion.

A virtual assistant usually handles ad-hoc tasks across several clients. An executive assistant is a dedicated hire who supports one leader at a senior level: owning the diary, inbox, meetings, and confidential matters, working only for you, on your hours.

Yes. Your remote executive assistant works from our India office, aligned to your UK hours, inside your Outlook or Google Calendar, Teams, and Slack, with NDA, secure access, and confidentiality set up from day one.

A dedicated full-time EA, all employer costs, workstation, HR, recruitment and a UK account manager, in one monthly fee. The work spans diary and inbox management, travel and meeting coordination, document preparation, stakeholder liaison, and confidential admin.

Yes on both. Your EA works your UK business day on GMT/BST, and every assistant is screened for discretion, signs an NDA, and works on secure, access-controlled systems to UK GDPR standards.

Yes. Our senior EAs are experienced right hands to CEOs, founders, and directors: managing complex diaries, board and stakeholder matters, and making the routine calls so leaders focus on the decisions that need them.

Most businesses hire within about four weeks, from briefing through sourcing, shortlisting, and interviewing to onboarding. We handle the recruitment, so you only spend time on the interviews.

The essential skills are strong organisation, high emotional intelligence, and the ability to keep things confidential. The best EAs also bring solid proficiency in Microsoft Office or Google Workspace and a proactive, problem-solving approach.

For permanent hires, the recruitment process typically takes 2 to 6 weeks, with leading agencies usually presenting a curated shortlist of qualified candidates within 5 to 7 working days. For urgent or temporary needs, some specialist firms can arrange interviews within 12 to 48 hours
