She said: “The VA industry offers everything I’ve been looking for – autonomy, a variety of tasks, and the ability to work from home while still making a positive impact on businesses.
“Joining Alchemy VA was a natural fit for me; the family-run ethos and team-based structure offered the support and camaraderie I wanted in my journey to self-employment.”
Heather added, “I’m committed to ensuring my new clients receive personalised, dedicated support.”
Suzy Sanders, Founder and Franchisor of Alchemy VA, said: “In an era defined by evolving work patterns, the demand for virtual assistants is surging and we’re continuing to see a steady increase in our business support services which may reflect the growing need to reduce costs and find an alternative to traditional employment.
“Heather is one of three new franchisees joining Alchemy VA in recent months, underscoring a broader movement toward self-employment and franchise opportunities.”
Alchemy Virtual Assistance (VA) was founded by executive assistant Suzy Sanders from a home office in Northamptonshire in 2016, to provide remote administration services, practical marketing and flexible PA support to sole traders, entrepreneurs and business owners.
Suzy launched a franchise model in December 2019, which now has eight franchise hubs across the UK, serving a growing global client base.
