Alison is a whizz at helping entrepreneurs automate processes around running course / events (online / face to face) to be a virtual set of hands, eyes & ears.

She is a recent co-author of ‘The Virtual Assistant Starter E-Guide’ & won ‘2020 VA of the Year, Northern Ireland’ in the VA Awards.

Her passions are wild swimming, community projects, connecting people & dachshunds!

Alison is a master at all things productivity and everything she does comes with energy and amazing drive!

· Most successful virtual solutions for business owners out there in the remote & hybrid world of work

· How networking has changed

· Tips for helping the business owner to delegate areas of their business
