Hello, I'm Helen Leach, a displaced Northerner, lover of film, and self-confessed fan of the Oxford comma. I set up Helen Leach Virtual Assistant Services in 2018 to help small business owners who just don’t have enough hours in the day. 
​
​Having worked as a PA and events organiser in both the corporate and public sectors I have the experience to ensure that I provide consistent, high-quality, reliable support to my clients, ensuring that no 'i' goes undotted or 't' uncrossed.

I started my career with the British Tourist Authority, directing hapless holiday makers around London and beyond before completing my PA diploma with Pitman Training and moving into executive support. PA roles at a London management consultancy and Tesco followed. The birth of my second child saw a shift in focus and I set up as an independent wedding planner in 2010. I returned to employment 5 years later but never quite lost the desire to be my own boss. In 2018 I returned to the self-employed world.

Being a VA allows me to indulge my love of process, organisation and spreadsheets while giving me the flexibility to achieve the ever-elusive work-life balance we all want. My aim is to support my clients so that they can do the same.
