Exciting News: Recognised as a Semi-Finalist in the 2025 UK VA Awards!

Semi Finalist - Best Newcomer VA

I’m absolutely over the moon to share some amazing news – I’ve been selected as a semi-finalist in the 2025 UK VA Awards for Best Newcomer VA of the Year!

When I launched Blencathra Administration Solutions last April, it felt like such a huge leap into the unknown. Like many new business owners, there were moments of doubt - questioning if I was making the right choices or if I had what it takes. To now be recognised in this way is genuinely humbling and makes me so proud. It’s a reminder that taking those leaps, even when they feel scary, can lead to amazing opportunities.

I want to take a moment to say a huge thank you to every single client who has trusted me to support their business. Your faith in my work has been the foundation of everything I’m building, and I’m so grateful for each project, challenge, and collaboration.

I also want to thank everyone I’ve met along the way, whether it be through networking events, social media, or other professional connections. Those who have offered advice, encouragement, or simply a kind word when it was needed most. Your support has made this journey so much richer and more inspiring.

Congratulations as well to all the other semi-finalists and finalists in these awards, what an amazing group of talented VAs! Being part of this community, surrounded by such dedication and expertise, is a privilege in itself. Whatever happens next in the awards process, I feel incredibly lucky to be part of such an inspiring and supportive network of professionals.

Reflecting on this journey, I’m reminded that starting a business is about more than just services and skills – it’s about resilience, courage, and the people who stand beside you along the way. I can’t wait to continue growing, learning, and helping even more clients in the future.

If you’re a business owner looking for support with administration, social media management, or other virtual assistant services, I’d love to help you with your workload so you can focus on what you do best. At Blencathra Administration Solutions, I offer tailored VA support for businesses of all sizes, get in touch today to see how I can help your business thrive!
