"I decided to get a VA in June 2020, I was struggling so much trying to keep up with all tasks that I needed to and getting anytime for myself. Once Kathryn started she used her own initiative at seeing how I worked and learnt how the company operated so then she was able to implement her systems and knowledge which has enabled the company to flow and work at a high and very efficient way I could not thank Kathryn enough for all her amazing hard work and organisation she has done and doing for my Company. Thank you"

"Kathryn provided Nye with remote back office support from our early days, throughout the pandemic and beyond. She helped the team with flexible Board support, office management and HR administration and fitted seamlessly into Nye's culture. We are very grateful to Kathryn for her support, flexibility, professionalism and her can-do attitude over the last few years and wish her every success in the future."

"Hey, I’m Oliver Wing — proud owner of a plumbing and heating company. Before working with Office Boss, I was trying to do everything myself… big mistake! I honestly wish I had found them sooner. Learning to delegate and trust others has been a game-changer. It’s freed up my time to focus on higher-value tasks and has helped me grow the business far beyond what I could have done alone. It's been a great journey, and Kathryn and the team have been amazing throughout. Supporting a trades business isn’t easy — the terminology, the fast-paced nature, and the constant customer interactions can be a lot — but they’ve handled it incredibly well. I’ve even been able to go on holiday knowing that the day-to-day operations were still being looked after. That kind of trust is rare. If you’re a business owner looking to free up your time and get real support, I’d highly recommend Kathryn at Office Boss."

“Kathryn supported me whilst I chaired the board of Directors. She supported the directors prepare, attend and minute board meetings. I always found Kathryn proactive, helpful and efficient. She understands how a board works which is invaluable for a chair.”

"Kathryn is really organised and has helped our business massively. We are no longer spending hours sorting admin tasks out. She has picked up how our business runs so quickly. Thanks Kathryn."

"I've been a client of Office Boss for 18months and am very happy to give Kathryn and the team a 5 star review.
The stand out points for the business is:
- care for their clients. Lauren has always felt part of my team, and not a Sub Contractor.
- a high level of competence within their field
- a strong desire to get it right first time
- a self sufficient approach which makes life much easier and less demanding of my time
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kathryn and her team to other SME's"

"We worked with Kathryn for HR support and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the outset, she brought a calm, knowledgeable, and professional approach that immediately put our team at ease. Her guidance was clear, practical, and always aligned with current legislation, helping us navigate a number of different HR situations with confidence.
Thanks to her support, our HR framework is far more robust and better aligned with our growth. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kathryn to other businesses looking for reliable, expert HR advice delivered with a personal and professional touch."
