Hello. I'm Andrea

You’ve landed here because you want to save time in your business or life, right?

I get it.

It’s hard to find time to sort all your admin when you’re running your own business, or keep on top of your lifestyle to do’s when you have a busy family unit or plan epic adventures when you don't have the headspace.

Work with me and I'll take all those tasks off your hands to help you find the time you need.

Would you like to free up your time to do more of the things you’re great at, and enjoy?

You could be a small business owner wanting more time to focus on increasing your sales; working parents wanting more time to nurture a better work-life balance; or a busy professional wanting to organise your next holiday or get a helping hand with personal admin.

From diary management, travel planning, and gift buying, to more complex tasks involving full project management, Distinctive Assistants provide a professional, friendly and flexible service that’s designed to work around and alongside you.

What would you do with more time? Let’s have a chat.

I started working with Andrea a few months ago on the recommendation of another female business owner who recognised that I needed some help. I had been considering working with a Virtual PA for a few months, but felt I needed to find the right fit for me.

Following an initial chat and introduction, Andrea has become an important part of my team; she efficiently manages tasks, monitors and prompts responses, works autonomously when required, and continues to offer support and guidance when necessary. I now couldn’t manage without her hard work, ongoing support, and attention to detail. I hope we can continue to work together with her managing more and more of my business requirements.

Thanks for all your hard work, Andrea.

"Having Distinctive Assistants just a phone call away to help me cope when things get too much has been a lifesaver in my day to day routine of being a busy businesswoman and the pressures of keeping on top of my business administration. It has helped me achieve a better work/life balance on a more personal level too. I would highly recommend the service!"

"We asked Andrea to plan a long weekend break for us to Glencoe in the Autumn. From the get-go, she was able to source, plan, book, and organise our break from start to finish with a detailed itinerary for each step of our trip. She even looked into the weather and planned our activities around it! We can't wait for her to plan our trip to Orkney & Shetland next year."

Matthew & Craig

"I highly recommend working with Andrea at Distinctive Assistants. Andrea is sharp, confidential, quick to act, and runs under her own steam, giving great ideas about how to do things better. She's also got great chat and is good fun! If you're wondering whether she can help - she probably can!"

When do I need to think about hiring a Virtual PA?

You are overwhelmed with your current workload and you have little time to get to your admin tasks.⁠

You have a backlog of tasks as long as your arm; such as emails to send, content to manage, data entry, or filing to fulfil.⁠

You need support on an ad hoc basis.⁠

You find you don’t have the expertise nor the time to complete tasks effectively.⁠

⁠You need to use your time much more effectively.⁠

Having someone you can delegate tasks to gives you peace of mind and keeps you sane ...... Isn’t that worth it?
