FURTHER GROWTH FOR VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS
A thriving and trusted virtual assistant company has strengthened its growing brand as the demand for outsourced business support continues to soar in Northamptonshire and beyond. Gemma McMillan joined the
award-winning Alchemy Virtual Assistance (VA) family in December 2020, just as the group reported a record-breaking number of enquiries for the year. With decades of experience
across various admin, sales, customer service and client liaison roles, Gemma left her secure job at an international shipping firm and is working with the wider Alchemy team to provide flexible, remote admin and PA services to not for profits, community and people-led organisations. Alchemy’s head office is based in Northampton and now has two thriving franchise Hubs in the county supporting a vast and diverse array of businesses across the UK. Northamptonshire Chamber members, The Lewis Foundation and Kilby Fox, are among Alchemy’s valued clients.

Lorraine Lewis, co-founder of
The Lewis Foundation said: “Alchemy VA have been helping us with our social media scheduling and engagement for over a year now, and their support has made such a massive difference. “There are so many different
aspects to running a charity and I realised I was spreading myself too thin by trying to do it all. I reached out to Alchemy because I’d seen how their remote admin support was freeing up time for others. It’s like having an extension of our own team – someone I can trust to
manage my social media is such a huge weight off.” Sarah Damani, who heads up
Alchemy VA’s Wellingborough Hub, added: “Everyone is far more open to remote working now. Hiring a Virtual Assistant partner through an established, family-run VA company is the ideal staffing solution for businesses in these turbulent times. It’s a reliable, efficient, adaptable and cost-effective solution. We’re big enough to really deliver yet small enough to truly care.”
