I am so happy to introduce you to the Timesaver team, a collective of brilliant women who help me deliver the very best possible service to you.

Jen Read

Online Business Manager

Jen joined Team Timesaver in July 2022. Jen has over 15 years of experience working as a PA for large corporate companies which led her to setting up her own Virtual Assistant business in November 2021. Jen loves helping people, she specialises in all the classic PA/EA tasks such as email and diary management, booking travel, meetings and events, online research, and returning phone calls, calling clients and taking messages.  

Jen is the first point of contact for Team Timesaver. She helps organise Jenny by setting up appointments and meetings in the busy Timesaver diary. She also allocates tasks in the Project Management system. Jen helps manage the team, meaning Jenny can focus on other things including the strategic side of the business.
 
Jen loves organising events and making things happen! She has organised several team events for Timesaver, as well as setting up travel and hotels for Jenny when she is away for meetings or events.
 
In her own time Jen loves to spend time with her family, getting out with her two girls, husband and their extremely mischievous Jackapoo Stanley! Jen loves to run or go to the gym, and in past years has taken part in several 10K events. Being by the sea is her favourite thing to do as it is so calming and relaxing.

Charlotte Clark

Design VA

Following art college, Charlotte began her career as a visual merchandiser working for a large American retailer, launching flagship stores across Europe. It was fun in retail, but she got tired of planning for Christmas in June….

More recently she has worked in internal communications and managing contractor relationships, often being relied upon to win over the trickiest of clients. 

Amongst other things, Charlotte now assists clients with design projects, graphics and reels. She also enjoys pattern design as hello_petalface, drawing inspiration from music, art and popular culture. She is particularly interested in pattern for interiors and attempts to live by the William Morris quote, “have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful”.

Blog & Copywriting Expert

Steph is an author, copywriter and mentor based in Surrey. She’s been writing for over 10 years and has published 6 nonfiction books. Prior to establishing Creating Happy Writers, she was a teacher – reaching the lofty heights of Deputy Headship – before coming to her senses, following her heart and starting her writing business.

Steph write copy for small business owners looking to share their message authentically and grow their business. She loves using powerful yet playful words to bring out their brand’s voice. She also mentors entrepreneurs who want to write books in their niche, taking away the confusion and overwhelm of publishing their work. As well as specialising in nonfiction, Steph is currently writing her first children’s novel with The Golden Egg Academy – a journey she loves but sometimes makes her want to throw her laptop out the window.

When she’s not typing away, you can find her walking her dog, Flo, or spending hours in Paperchase gazing at the stationery, pretending she can’t see her husband tapping his watch.

Steph Clark Team Timesaver

Stephanie Clark

Blog & Copywriting Expert

As an English Language and Literature graduate and coming from a bilingual background (half English and half Maltese) Stephanie has always had a passion for language. This has led to a career of over 18 years in teaching English to non-native speakers from all over the world, helping them achieve their language goals and improve their speaking and writing skills.

In more recent years, Stephanie has put her own pen to paper by starting her freelance content writing business, writing high-quality, SEO-optimised articles and web copy to help her clients increase web traffic and build brand authority. She has written for a wide range of industries, including e-commerce, education, digital marketing, travel, hospitality, construction and more.

Since joining Team Timesaver at the start of 2024, Stephanie has been assisting local businesses in boosting their content marketing strategy with engaging email and blog copy. She loves working with clients to create content that gets them noticed in the busy marketplace.

When she’s not tapping away on her laptop or teaching an online English class, Stephanie can be found either cooking up a storm in the kitchen, or booking her next overseas adventure. She also tries to find time to improve her own foreign language skills, with Greek being her latest challenge, inspired by her love for holidays around the Greek islands.

Alexandra Packham

Personal Assistant

I have over fourteen years experience in business, administration, PA and event management, working in both the private and the charity sectors and hold a BA (Hons) in Business.

I’m a bilingual speaking English/Spanish, nature loving, eco conscious, home educating mama to two wonderful wildlings.

I am a Spanish tutor and a virtual assistant, both of which I love, as I get to see people and businesses grow and flourish.

I love reading and being creative, although with two children I don’t find quite as much time to do these things now!

Hannah Naismith

Intern

Hannah is the most recent edition to the Timesaver team joining in October 2024, having just graduated last year with a degree in English Literature from The University of Edinburgh. Since finishing, Hannah has gone on to work in Berlin as an editorial assistant and has also been simultaneously working as a freelance writer/journalist in the UK, as she originates from Tunbridge Wells. Using words to connect people with meaningful ideas is at the crux of what Hannah wants to do and so she is looking forward to writing Timesaver blog posts, newsletters and gaining more copywriting experience. Additionally, Hannah will be tailoring her administrative skills too and becoming proficient in a range of business software to help with further Timesaver tasks. 

Outside of work, Hannah is currently piecing together her first novel – although the books do make this process sound a lot easier! Otherwise she loves yoga, meandering around art galleries and trying to make the elusive, perfect bowl of ramen.
