Why Dotty’s on the website

Working with a VA is a bit of a trust exercise. You’re handing over access to your inbox, your calendar, sometimes your whole digital life. Dotty’s here because she’s a reminder that there’s a real person behind all of this. Someone who works from home, has a ridiculous dog, and genuinely gives a damn about the people he works with.

Hi, I’m Rory.

I’ve spent 20 years watching small businesses get slowed down by the same things. Tech that quietly stops working. Inboxes that get away from people. Tasks that land on the owner’s plate because there’s nobody else to catch them.

Most of my clients come to me when something’s broken, overwhelming, or just not working the way it should. They leave with things actually sorted, not patched until next time.

Problems get fixed properly

Not patched and left for next time. After 20 years across tech and operations, I find the thing underneath the thing and deal with that too.
