About Me

I’m Samantha Orchard-Lisle, owner of So Helpful. I’m a Virtual Assistant working from my home office in Spalding, Lincolnshire.
I support small business owners behind the scenes, so they can focus on the bigger picture.
My work history is a bit of a mix, with roles from admin assistant at a tech company, to carer supporting the elderly, and head of year in a secondary school (to mention a few!), and it’s given me a really helpful set of skills that I’m keen to share.
I know how much goes into running your own business, and I’m here to lend a hand with things like:
- Keeping your inbox and diary tidy, so you can focus on what you love doing.
- Creating social media content that connects with your audience.
- Making sure your documents and data are accurate and organized.
Basically, I’m here to provide reliable support and free up a bit of your time.
If you think I could help, please do get in touch!
Benefits of using a VA

Instead of the substantial expense of a full-time executive assistant (typically £40,000-£60,000+ per year), you gain access to comparable expertise on a flexible, as-needed basis.
You avoid all the associated employment costs, like:
– Insurance
– HR costs/agency fees
– Pension
– Paid time off (sick, holiday, lunch breaks)
– NI / Tax
– Training
– Equipment
By paying only for productive hours, you significantly reduce your administrative costs and free up resources to invest in other areas of your business.
