A little about me.

Hi, I’m Sophie - founder of The Essential Business Co.

I’ve spent more than 15 years working across business operations, travel, events and customer service, in roles where being organised, keeping track of the details and making sure things happen has always been a big part of the job.

I started The Essential Business Co. to bring that experience to smaller businesses that need capable, flexible support without necessarily needing another full-time member of staff.

These days, my work can involve anything from coordinating projects, travel and events to managing client communications, organising systems or helping with the digital side of a business. No two clients need exactly the same thing, which is one of the things I enjoy about the work.

My approach is straightforward. I get to know how your business works, fit in with the systems and tools you already use, and help you keep things moving in the right direction.
