Beatrice is a self-driven, self-motivated and ethical machine that just works!Beatrice is such a positive, pleasant person, that even during the restructuring that was to potentially affect her own position, she saw nothing but an onwards and upwards positivity.Beatrice has the ability to make things happen. She dives in to get things done. She is a doer.
She is not just an Executive PA, she sees the commercial potential with her business acumen, she has no time for time wasters, and she gets the bigger picture in a millisecond.Beatrice holds the office profile well with senior management and high profile clients.She organises, holds and manages client events with such ease, comfort and competence that one needs to seriously think of filling her role with a few additional multi-tasking jobs relating to client relationships, to ensure maximum potential is leveraged.Beatrice is both quantity and quality, with high ethical standards that sets new bench marks with complete enthusiasm in her deliverance.I would have no hesitation in re-employing Beatrice and I hope the occasion occurs. I would strongly recommend her to any prospective employer who has an interest in her growth. In fact, that is exactly what I did, after I left PBB and recommended her to the London Office of BCRE. Although she was based in another country, her virtual constant presence made no difference to the efficient operation of the London office.
Beatrice is the go to person in your organisation, the one to be trusted with performing tasks seamlessly and perfectly administrating the entire process and all of it in a virtual capacity. She has impeccable time management skills and doesn’t need to be managed.
Beatrice has sound judgment and takes into consideration all the small details and particularities of any given task, no matter how complex. She diplomatically handles situations in a way so as not to affect the positive result of the tasks she is responsible for.
It has been a pleasure working with such a colleague and a friend. I would gladly take any reference calls.
Efficient, organised and a true professional which sums up my working experience with Beatrice. Although working remotely her positive and professional attitude would radiate from far with great effect.
Bea is a consummate organiser. You wanted to get anything HR/immigration/admin/schedules/have fun around town answered or done, she gets it done and with a very positive attitude. She made sure that deal team didn’t have to worry about many things and you could always count on her. I have seen Bea excel in the most demanding work assignments while demonstrating high work ethics. It was a pleasure to have her as a co-worker and she is a great addition to any team. I highly recommend Bea, without doubt.
Ridiculously efficient is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Beatrice. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Bea for almost 2 years, few people have had the opportunity to report to an HR manager who is also a coach and mentor—but I did while working with Bea. Above all, I was impressed with her ability to resolve any problem in a positive attitude in difficult moments. And, of course, her broad-minded, resourceful, straightforward personality. Bea would be a true asset for any positions requiring a HR Manager/EA and all virtually, she is not just a doer, she is a thinker!
I have no hesitation in recommending Beatrice and I am certain that she would be an asset to any future employer!
It was a pleasure for me working with Beatrice, she was professional, efficient, serious and responsible in any task she was given. She works well under pressure and always keeps a positive attitude. I’d be happy to recommend her to any employer.
Beatrice worked for the company locally and remotely for 5 years. While working remotely, all I had to do was give her a call or send her an email/Whatsapp and things just got done immediately! She was meticulous in everything she did, and the list was endless! Always polite and professional with partners, shareholders, and colleagues. There was nothing that she couldn't do, she could literally turn her hand to anything. I had total confidence in her abilities. Beatrice has a natural ability to create order, structure and user-friendly processes. She is highly capable and takes a creative yet methodical approach to new challenges. Beatrice is tenacious in getting results and completing tasks. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Therefore, I will not hesitate in engaging her services again when she sets herself up as a Virtual Assistant. Beatrice is an absolute delight to work with.
Beatrice is an extremely hard-working individual who is passionate about her work. She helps me with my administration and business. Even though she is a VA, to me she’s my support worker. Unfortunately, I cannot read, I am severely dyslexic, and I also have dyscalculia. She has been an absolute godsend, I just couldn’t believe that there was someone out there that could be so understanding of my needs. She always goes the extra mile to make sure I get things done and to help with the growth of my business. She’s there anytime I call on her, she always picks up my calls and if she can’t deal with it there and then she’ll just say, “give me 5 minutes and I’ll call you straight back” and she always does, she has fantastic communication skills. She has always delivered on time and without failure, this includes, but is not limited to: quotations, invoicing, chasing payments, calendar management, email management, Facebook and LinkedIn posts, liaising with agents, clients and the Department for Work and Pensions, calling suppliers for quotes on materials and the list goes on. I could say so many good things about Beatrice, but in a nutshell, finding her has been the best thing that’s happened to me in a while. I’ve had support workers (VAs) in the past and I thought that they were good but working with Beatrice is something else, the assistance she has given me since she came on board is rare and priceless.
Beatrice is one of the most hardworking, enthusiastic, capable and positive people I have worked with. She is 100% trustworthy, discreet and honest, which in my opinion are the most important characteristics a PA/VA can have. She is quick and efficient, treats everyone with respect and gets the job done no matter whom she is dealing with or whatever the situation is. Over the years (remotely and on-site) she has helped us navigate our way in London by helping us deal with visas, schools, nannies, insurance companies, travel, banks, all kinds of reservations, etc. She thoroughly investigates every situation, receives quotes, negotiates to find the best deal and does everything with a smile on her face. I can only end by complimenting Beatrice’s professionalism, mannerism, her good spirit, and her good heart. I am sure that whoever will hire her for her VA services will be very lucky, it has been an absolute pleasure to work with her from start to end.

Beatrice has now supported several of our teams, including our MDs, whilst our Assistants have taken holiday. She has proved to be 100% reliable and trustworthy with a strong work ethic. Our teams are large with complex requirements and Beatrice has handled everything thrown at her calmly and with a smile on her face. I would have no hesitation recommending her services.

I discovered Bea 20 years ago!!! Bea was the manager of a collection of bespoke office (mews buildings) in Kensington. I was really impressed with her work ethic, her can do attitude, quick mind and with a laugh that turned every dreadful situation into a bearable one! Also, extremely well presented at all times, plus an excellent positive person to be around. My company was launching a franchise in Selfridges at the time and I needed some assistance. After helping me with all the admin behind the scenes, the CEO asked her if she like the position of Sales and Administration Manager onsite to get everything up and running, in conjunction with the Selfridges team. She did a great job completing the project and achieving big sales targets that is mainly down to her personality. In my career I have had the good fortune to work with some exceptional executive assistants/office managers and Bea is without doubt one of them. I absolutely loved working with her, she is incredibly talented, enthusiastic, passionate and 100% committed to helping you achieve your goals. She made me more productive, came up with brilliant ideas to streamline business processes and like any true EA, she was even a social support in tough times. In fact, I asked her to go over my Business Plan recently January 2020 – I thought it was perfect, however Bea spotted errors, so she came to my aid once again! She always somehow finds time even when she is extremely busy lady and in demand. We kept in contact over the years and she has since become a very good friend and has been a fountain of knowledge to me and some of my business associates. Once you meet Bea, you will see she is an asset! I cannot recommend her highly enough.
