Our Testimonials

Andrea Adams – Managing Director, Triumpha

I’ve had lots of PAs over the years and I would never have believed a virtual one could be better, but Portfolio PA has proven me wrong. My VA is bright, articulate, professional, supportive, patient, knowledgeable and hyper-efficient to name but a few accolades! I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Theresa Coligan, CEO - The Coaching Project

Gemma was a complete joy to work with. She anticipated my every need.

Dr Helen Phillips, Chairman - Chartered Insurance Institute

I have found working with Gemma an extremely professional and highly organised experience. Clarity, ease of doing business, deadlines met, and a very collaborative informal style which works so well in a remote business model.

I hope this will be the start of a long-term working relationship between our companies and I highly recommend her and her team

Judith Charles, Founder, The Virtius Group

My VA has made an incredible difference to my business and I only wished I had started working with her earlier! She is professional, proactive and incredibly responsive. Every task is finished to the highest standard, really quickly and more often than not, with additions or suggestions that I haven’t even considered. Her attention to detail and ethos of making sure her work makes mine easier is having a really positive impact with all of my clients and team. She has the same energy and commitment to any task, no matter how big or small. I can’t recommend her enough.

Kirstie Garrett, Managing Director – KGMDC

We’ve been working with Portfolio PA since the end of July 2020 and it’s clear to see the impact they have had on the business as we are now achieving our highest revenue figures per month despite the current climate. Our VA has made it easy for us to be able to confidently pass off key duties and responsibilities, allowing the business to focus on client retention and new business development, delivering the services at 100% and not being weighed down by admin and wider business tasks.

I would highly recommend Portfolio PA to anyone looking for a Virtual Assistant in Leeds or elsewhere.

Manpreet Singh, CEO - Bobble Digital Ltd

As someone who spends 90% of their life on the road, having a Virtual PA is an absolute lifesaver. I currently outsource a number of reports and administrative tasks that I simply don’t have the time to sit down and write. We work over the phone and my VA dutifully edits, formats and paraphrases my rambling incoherencies into concise and useful management facing material. In fact, the reports have been highlighted internally as being an excellent example of what we are trying to achieve.

Mike Beevor, Technical Marketing Director – Pivot 3

Quite simply – Gemma makes me a better business owner. She saves me time by doing the things that would take me ages. She prevents me getting in scrapes by reminding me about things I would most likely put off until almost too late. She researches options and recommends. She turns my wild ideas into practical tools on paper. And she does all of these speedily and with wonderful attention to detail. On top of that she’s fun to work with and a collaborator in my success.

Tilla Brook, Leadership Coach and Speaker

Our Portfolio PA Virtual Assistant was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her professionalism and efficiency were only outperformed by her clear and consistent communication throughout the time we worked with her. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Suzanne Gamache, Director at Amalida Properties

Gemma has proven to be an extraordinary addition to our team.  We have found her to be professional, diligent and proficient with the services she provides.  Gemma often turns work around at very short notice, with little detail in the brief which requires her to be creative with her problem solving and the end product is often better than we could have imagined.  Gemma is an excellent communicator and has proven to be a safe pair of hands when communicating directly with our clients. Gemma seeks to add value in all her interactions and has rapidly become the centre-point of our team.  We can honestly say life is better with Gemma on board.

Gwyn Williams and Bruce Milroy, Directors, Ethos Consulting

I have worked with Gemma for the past 18 months. She is an outstanding Virtual Assistant by always being professional , proactive and positive. Her work is always of a very high standard and she manages to deliver all this with absolute integrity and good humour! When I set up my business I was unsure how the services of a Virtual Assistant could support me but, however since working with Gemma I am delighted at how smoothly and effectively she makes things work. I would not hesitate in recommending Gemma to any future client.
