Make More Time Your Own
Welcome......My goal is to restore and retain a healthy work-life balance for my clients.
extra pair of hands 4u works hard to help you maintain and grow your business without you having to sacrifice your precious time or the commitment and overheads of a permanent member of staff.
​
Let me do the mundane tasks for you, whilst you concentrate on what you do best!
extra pair of hands 4u
Hi, I am Elaine, I offer freelance business support either virtually or onsite (within a reasonable distance of Slough)
My services cater to small/medium business owners, sole traders & entrepreneurs needing that extra pair of hands.
Having worked within various industries such as construction, publishing, waste management, transport and logistics for over 30 years, I know all about planning, adapting, multi-tasking & anticipating the unexpected.
I love a challenge, to be resourceful and enjoy using my experience, skills & knowledge to support others to achieve their goals, which is why I decided to launch extra pair of hands4u.
Some of the benefits of working with me are gaining an experienced professional at the reduced cost & commitment of employing a permanent member of staff. No need to supply equipment or pay for pension contributions, holiday and sick pay etc. Having someone on hand to take on the workload that is preventing you from really focusing on your business. Flexible availability including weekends to cover for any holidays or absences that may impact on your business.
Are you in need of assistance with back-office administration, keeping on top of your finances or maintaining your transport compliance? then outsource those time-consuming tasks to me and we can work together to find solutions to enhance your productivity and grow your business, whether on a regular basis or just a one off project.
A sample of services available & my prices are outlined below. Please take a look & if you think I can help you then do get in touch & start benefitting from the extra pair of hands you need to regain back your work-life balance!
Make more time to drive your business forward, spend with family & friends, or simply just take a little time for yourself to do the things you enjoy!
