Outsourced PA services for busy business owners
Your inbox is full, your diary is a mess and admin is eating your evenings. A Get Ahead virtual PA is an experienced, UK-based personal assistant who works remotely for your business, handling diary, email, travel and day-to-day admin for as many hours as you need. Your Regional Director matches you with the right PA and stays your point of contact.
What does a Get Ahead virtual PA take on?
Most clients start with the work that eats into their week:
- Diary management and meeting scheduling
- Inbox management, including replies and follow-ups
- Travel booking and itineraries
- Meeting preparation, agendas and notes
- Event organisation
- Call handling and messages
- Digital filing and document management
If you need more than PA support, your Regional Director can bring in other specialists from the same team, from bookkeeping to marketing.
Why choose a Get Ahead virtual PA?
Every virtual PA on our team is experienced, UK-based and has been through our selection process. Your Regional Director knows them personally and matches you on more than skills. How you like to work, your sector and personality all count.
You pay only for the hours you use. There are no minimum hours and no long-term contract, so your PA can do more in a busy month and less when things are quiet.
Your PA is self-employed, so there’s no desk to find and no holiday pay, sick pay or pension contributions to arrange.
Larger organisations use a virtual PA too, often to support a director whose diary has outgrown the in-house team, or to test whether a role is needed before recruiting for it.
If a virtual PA sounds like what you need, complete the contact form or call 0330 223 7580, and we’ll put you in touch with your Regional Director.

Frequently Asked Questions
A virtual PA does what an in-house personal assistant would, working remotely. That usually means managing your diary and inbox, booking travel, preparing for meetings, organising events and keeping on top of the admin that piles up when you’re busy running the business. Many clients give their PA access to their email and calendar, so the PA works as their right hand rather than picking up tasks one at a time.
A virtual PA works closely with one person, usually the owner or a director, and looks after their time: diary, inbox, travel and meetings. A virtual assistant supports the business more widely, with general admin, customer service, data entry and one-off projects. Plenty of clients need a bit of both, and your Regional Director will help you work out which fits.
There’s no minimum. Some clients start with a few hours a week, and others need far more. You pay for the hours you use, there’s no long-term contract, and you can increase or reduce the hours as your workload changes.
Most clients are up and running within a few days. You start with a conversation with your Regional Director about your business and what you need. They match you with the right PA from our team and introduce you, and you agree together how you’ll work.
Your PA works remotely, so where they live doesn’t limit who can help you. Every PA is UK-based, and your Regional Director lives and works in your Region, so you have someone nearby who knows the local business community and stays your point of contact. If you’re outside our Regions, Get Ahead Nationwide covers the rest of the UK.
