🌹 Six Years of Climbing Rose
Six years ago, on 25th September 2020, I launched Climbing Rose Virtual Assistant Services.
At the time, I wanted to build a business that gave me more freedom and flexibility, while still allowing me to use the skills and experience I’d built throughout my career.
Six years on, that still matters enormously. But I think what Climbing Rose means to me has grown too.
This past year has brought new clients, new projects and plenty of variety. I’ve helped clients launch new offshoot businesses, supported an old colleague while she takes maternity leave, stepped into busy inboxes, kept content moving, organised the behind-the-scenes admin and generally helped businesses keep doing what they do best.
And that, really, is what I love most about this job.
Climbing Rose isn’t about simply ticking things off a list. It’s about being the person in the background who knows the business, understands what matters and can be trusted to get things done.
It’s about supporting other people to be at their best, while making sure I continue to give them the very best of me too.
Six years in, I’m still learning, still growing and still incredibly grateful that I get to work with such a brilliant mix of businesses and people.
And I’m still very glad I took that leap back in 2020.
Here’s to year seven 🌹
