Gilly Mulford | Founder | Your Household PA & Tails of Pawfection

“Time is precious…

With a wealth of experience, spanning three decades, I now run my own two businesses: Your Household PA, and Tails of Pawfection.

As a Virtual Assistant I have a passion to give back precious time so you too can enjoy the things you love, whether that be growing your business or spending more time with loved ones.

Running two companies as well as working for them both keeps me on my toes and demonstrates my organisation abilities and business acumen.

 

As a Fellow of the Institute of Administrative Management I am passionate about giving clients back that precious time whilst imparting knowledge and supporting other EA/PA and VA’s by sharing experiences and expertise.

After a life changing experience in 2018, learnt coping strategies have been at the forefront of my development and discussion topics and has seen my Public Speaking develop from online to National events.

Time is precious, you can use it, but you can’t own it. You can spend it, but you can’t keep it. Once you have lost it, you can never get it back”
