I’ve been a travel addict for as long as I can remember, backpacking solo at 18, and now with over 150 countries ticked off my bucket list. I relish planning and researching each trip to make the most of every place I visit.

After spending 10 years working for UHNWI, there isn’t much I haven’t been asked to organise or plan!

Project Based Assistance

In some cases, you might not be looking for long-term support but feel completely overwhelmed by a particular project or task on the horizon.

I love getting my teeth into juicy projects, from once-in-a-lifetime holiday planning to supporting clients through property renovations or development projects.

I have a natural ability to break large projects into bite-sized tasks, creating clear timelines to prioritise what needs to be done and when.

Seeing a client’s overwhelm subside through my support is the greatest reward!

Since moving back to Cheltenham, I have also taken on my own property renovation project, channeling my organised nature and perfectionist traits into something that has become a huge passion of mine.

It’s not unusual to find me with a paintbrush or power tool in hand!

You might not expect this about me…

This is me!
This is me!

Trip Planning Yacht Charter - Croatia

This client approached us with a dream of renting a boat for a family holiday to celebrate both a 60th and 30th birthday, but with no boat experience they didn’t know where to begin!

We started out taking them to the Southampton boat show for the day, where they could walk around different boats and get an idea of what each size and style had to offer.

Once they had made their decision on a boat, and cruising location we helped them secure the charter and started planning the trip. Creating a detailed itinerary, including excursions and restaurant options.

The had also requested for us to run the charter, so we arrived a day early to provision the boat ready for their arrival, meeting them on the dock with a glass of Champagne.

With over 20 years yacht experience between us, and knowledge of world wide cruising, we can help plan your next dream vacation!

Just get in touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A personal or virtual assistant supports you with the tasks that take up your time but don’t need to be done by you. This can include diary management, inbox organisation, booking travel & appointments, managing suppliers, handling admin, and generally keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.

  • A virtual assistant works remotely, handling everything digitally. A personal assistant can be more hands-on and local. At Olio & Co., I offer both, so support can flex depending on what you need. A personal assiatant could be a great option if you want help project managing a renovation and overseeing contractors.

  • No, support is flexible. Some clients need a few hours a week, others need more consistent help. We tailor this based on workload rather than locking you into something rigid. Although retainers are on offer and can see reduced rates to reserve consistent avalibility.

  • Yes, and that’s often where the biggest difference is felt. Managing both sides together means nothing falls through the cracks, whether that’s booking a holiday or organising client meetings. With my business and accounting background I can also assist with bookeeping, budgeting, marketing and business strategy.

  • Usually busy professionals, business owners, or people managing multiple responsibilities who need a reliable extra pair of hands. It’s less about job title and more about needing clarity, time, and consistency.

  • We use whatever works best for you, email, WhatsApp, shared documents, or project tools. The aim is to fit into your way of working, not force you into a new system. If you do not have any systems in place then I will work with you on implementing them to help streamline both your work and personal life.

  • The approach is more personal and hands-on. With a background in high-pressure, detail-focused environments, the focus is on calm, reliable support that clients don’t have to think twice about.
