Virtual Assistants

Pattie Mason – After graduating from London University, I initially worked as a marketing services researcher for EDS. I then headed off to Spain, where I worked for a large UK tour operator in the Balearics and then went on to teach business English in Barcelona. When I returned to the UK I spent the next few years in PA, Administration Management and Marketing Support roles for a succession of start-up companies. It was during this time that I realised the problem small businesses (and start-ups in particular) have when it comes to managing their cash flow whilst needing really good support staff. I founded One Hour PA in 2004 and now have over 40 clients in the UK and Europe. I have a real interest in the challenges and issues of running a small business and enjoy being my own boss.
