I launched my virtual assistant (VA) business Blossom Executive Support in September 2013, keen to embark on a new challenge and use the skills I had built up over my many years as an executive assistant in the corporate world.
I invested in some essential training to stand me in good stead, and began networking and marketing to get my business out there. With a young child at home, the mix of work and personal life was a struggle, but I had a dream in mind and a way of life I was aiming for.
Since launching, I have had the privilege of working with a number of inspirational entrepreneurs to help them achieve their goals and follow their dreams. I really do love my work!
During the last 18 months the business has really grown and matured. I have extended my offerings to clients, which not only provides traditional VA and admin support, but also now offers complete social media management, IT and web design services and business management and coaching. I also recently exhibited at the annual Athena Inspire Conference in London where I met some great people, could promote the business and also realised how far I have come.
Additionally, I have taken on my first virtual team members and built a team around me to support my clients. I am thrilled to say that I have just had my second child and the business is continuing from strength to strength with the support of my team.
Charlotte Wibberley is the founder and director of Blossom Executive Support
