Executive operations for directors

You run the business. We run the office behind it.

The technical arm for directors who lead with vision. We run your communications, diary, meetings, files and reporting across every company you run, so more of your time goes on the work you enjoy.

Why us

Creatives and directors. We speak both languages.

We work as creatives and as directors, so we know both sides of the table. We understand how a creative mind works, and we know what a board, an accountant or an operations team needs to hear. We translate between the two.

01

We connect the dots

Conversations, files, numbers and decisions from every company, joined up so the full picture is always in front of you.

02

Your role gets easier

The admin, the chasing and the detail are handled, so your days have room in them again.

03

And more enjoyable

More time on the ideas, the product and the people that made you want the role in the first place.

Who it's for

Directors whose best work is the creative kind.

Some leaders are at their best with a product, a room or an idea. The systems, inboxes and spreadsheets around the role are a different skill. We take that side on.

  • You run more than one company

    Messages, meetings and paperwork arrive from every direction. We bring them into one place, so nothing sits unanswered.

  • The admin keeps winning

    Hours go on scheduling, chasing and tidying up. We take that time back and hand it to the work that grows the business.

  • You want to see what is happening

    Without waiting for someone to pull a report. We build views of the numbers you care about, kept up to date.

How we work

Hands-free, or hands-on. Your choice.

Every area can be handled for you or taught to you. The aim is the same either way: turn the technical side of the role from a weakness into a strength.

Hands-free

Done for you.

We take the work on entirely. You see the result: a clear inbox, a planned week and numbers you can trust.

Hands-on

Done with you.

We teach it, side by side, until you can do it yourself and it no longer feels like a weak spot.

Most directors mix the two. We might run your diary while teaching you the dashboards, then hand more over as your confidence grows.

Getting started

From first call to a running office.

We start small, fix what matters most first and build from there.

  1. Introductory call

    We talk through how your week works and where the friction is.

  2. Review your setup

    We look at your inboxes, diary, tools and reporting across each company.

  3. Set up the office

    Communications and tasks in one place, diary rules agreed, first dashboard built.

  4. Run and refine

    A regular check-in keeps everything on track and decides what to take on next.
