About
For many years I have run my own business and managed the day to day demands and challenges that this brings.
Managing staff, delivering on customer requirements and making sure that all the behind the scenes admin is completed has not always been easy. But after twenty odd years, I think I have encountered just about every possible challenge, and am pleased to say I’m still coming out smiling!
I am a really good organiser and ‘getting things sorted’ must be in my DNA. Practical, realistic and resourceful – ‘where there is a will, there is a way’, is my motto.
My training and background is basically business and marketing, in addition I have always managed property and rentals. Add to that ‘employed’ experience in recruitment, retail and operations management and my ‘voluntary’ work supporting not for profit organisations, and you end up with me!
What I have often wished for, but found it hard to find, is an extra pair of competent hands, to help when I was really up against it. Not a business consultant to tell me where I’m going wrong … but someone reliable, creative and supportive, to help keep the show on the road and provide a bit of BackUp with any aspect of business and administration!
So, I have set up this business to provide exactly that service … for busy people in Southwold. Halesworth, Harleston, Framlingham, Bungay and Beccles.

I’d sum myself up as a flexible and creative all-rounder… someone that can deliver a project, run the office, file the annual return, talk to the bank manager, or make the tea.
Whether you need back-up for a week, for a specific project, or perhaps regularly for a few hours to stay on top of things – I’d be really happy to talk to you and provide the help you are after.
Testimonials
‘We needed someone to rethink the website and our promotions, but did not want the hassle of employing someone in a permanent role. Lyn visited us and then agreed an 8 day project plan. She rewrote our website content, engaged a web developer, organised new leaflets and business cards, and co-ordinated everything we needed, getting the whole team on board. Something we had put off for years, was completed painlessly in weeks!
We continue to work with Lyn as she is now an extra pair of trusted hands, whenever we have a project or problem.’
Terry, CEO, Construction Limited Company
‘Lyn has worked with us for more that three years, as our part-time Business Manager.
She works one day a week, and does more when we need extra hours. She manages all the finances and administration, as well as planning and managing a range of contractors for regular and ad hoc maintenance projects.
She acts as secretary to the Board and plans and minutes our meetings as well as dealing with Companies House.
A complete star!’
Janet, Chair, Sheltered Housing scheme.
‘Running and expanding my plumbing business is satisfying but occasionally over-whelming! As business grew and I took on a trainee, I got behind with quoting, invoicing and delivering the customer care that had got me a good reputation.
Lyn now comes in for 3 hours a week and has got me back to being organised. I can stay on the tools and know that my customers are looked after.
I have got my Sundays back as a day of rest!’
Matthew, Plumber & Heating Engineer.
