The Rt Revd Dr Matthew Porter, Bishop of Bolton
“Izzy is a bright, diligent and hard-working person, with a fine mind and good attention to detail. She's a good listener with a caring heart. Izzy enjoys being part of a team, and can support as well as lead. I worked with Izzy for a number of years, and she became a trusted colleague whom I highly valued. With much initiative as well as strong ethics, I often told Izzy that she was a star!”
Louise Richardson, TRE Practitioner (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises)
“Izzy was incredibly knowledgeable working with me on my business plan. I was very impressed with her promptness, adherence to deadlines, and attention to detail. She is also friendly and has great interpersonal skills!”
“Having struggled for some time to get our internal systems properly organised, Izzy contacted us via LinkedIn and offered her support at exactly the right moment. After a series of introductory calls, we engaged her to restructure our internal documentation into a clear and logical hierarchy, and to help implement a new CRM system. Both areas required a high level of care and attention to detail, along with a willingness to work through a significant amount of manual work. Izzy approached this in a calm, methodical way and was a pleasure to work with throughout. The end result has made a meaningful difference. Our documentation is now far easier to navigate, and the CRM is set up in a way that supports how we actually operate day to day. I would not hesitate to recommend Izzy to any organisation looking to bring clarity, structure, and consistency to their processes and systems.”
Siani Bugtti, Senior Philanthropy Manager @ Isabel Hospice, Welwyn Garden City
“Izzy is one of the most skilled, dedicated, and reliable professionals I’ve had the pleasure of working with. We worked together at ROLDA UK; during her time as PA to the CEO, she quickly became the go-to person for everything. Her organisation, knowledge, and initiative kept the charity running smoothly.
Beyond her professional abilities, Izzy was truly wonderful to work with. Her positive character, approachable nature, and genuine care for those around her made a huge impact on the team.
It’s no surprise she has gone on to start her own PA business, she has all the qualities of someone who will excel anywhere she goes. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
Amber Boydell, Operations Manager @ The Belfrey, York
“Izzy did a brilliant job of supporting our leaders to stay on top of their busy schedules and work, keeping them informed, organised and well-prepared at all times. Her eye for detail and conscientiousness meant that no stone was left unturned, and she was always quick to respond and ready to help. Izzy is a natural administrator who balances efficiency and preparedness with a great sense of humour, friendliness and genuine care for those she is supporting.”
Karen Branagh, Specialist Fundraising Consultant @ Karen Branagh Fundraising
“I worked with Izzy at an animal welfare charity and can’t recommend her highly enough. She supported the charity as a Virtual Assistant/PA and was not only very efficient and organised, but also a lovely person to work with.
I always felt like we were in safe hands with Izzy. She just quietly got on with things and always seemed to be one step ahead. She’s really knowledgeable about charity governance and all the day-to-day stuff that keeps things running smoothly, and she handled everything with a calm, thoughtful approach.
She’s patient, trustworthy, intelligent, and just someone you instantly feel you can rely on. I would love to work with her again.”

“Izzy was clerk to the board of Restore (York) Ltd, a medium-sized housing charity supporting people experiencing homelessness. She attended board meetings and took minutes, helped compile the agenda, posted draft minutes to board members etc.
Izzy was meticulous in her work; attentive to detail, prompt, available and really importantly empathetic with the purpose of the board in supporting our residents. Her presence in the board meetings was unobtrusive and discreet. We handle many highly confidential situations; I had not a moment’s concern that what she heard left the meeting.
I highly recommend Izzy and her Virtual Assistant business. She is very capable of handling complex tasks.”
