About Me

Hi! Thank you so much for visiting my website. 

I’m Sam Orchard-Lisle, owner of So Helpful. I’m a Virtual Assistant, working from my home office in Spalding, Lincolnshire.

I work with small businesses who need a helping hand to stay on top of their admin. After two decades of building experience in different industries, I decided to start my own little business doing what I love best – helping others! 

I’ve worked in a mixture of roles, such as PA to Company Directors, Support Worker to neurodiverse and disabled people, and Head of Year in a secondary school! The consistent theme in every role I’ve had is my drive for helping others and my passion for organisation and admin.   Each experience has contributed to building a really helpful set of skills that I’m keen to share.

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. **

** Building easy-to-navigate websites that’ll draw more customers to your business. **

** Making sure your documents and data are accurate and organised. **

If you’re looking for honest, reliable support and want to
 offload your unwanted admin, I would love to work with you.

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.
