“I have been lucky enough to have Cate's help as assistant to our folk/ world music group Firelight Trio. She is an absolute gem! Motivated, committed, enthusiastic, adaptable, reliable, and able to work out what needs doing using her own initiative. She has great communication skills and determination when necessary, which is often very useful in our industry!

I am juggling many different projects and having Cate focussed and working independently on one of them has really helped to move that project forwards. I look forward to continuing to work with her going forward.”

“Working with Cate has genuinely been a game changer for my business. As a small business owner with a thousand ideas and not nearly enough hours in the day, trying to manage everything on my own often felt overwhelming and isolating. Cate stepped in and took the creative and organisational tasks off my plate, particularly the design and layout of my Pain Toolkit. She transformed my drafts and concepts into polished, professional, client ready materials.

Her support has given me a real sense of relief and mental space to focus on the work that truly matters. Knowing that there is someone on the other end of an email or phone call who I can rely on, someone who understands my needs and genuinely cares about my business, has been invaluable. Working with Cate does not just feel like outsourcing tasks, it feels like having a trusted colleague.

She is talented, responsive, proactive and intuitive. She consistently understands what I am trying to achieve and often exceeds my expectations. I would wholeheartedly recommend Cate to any small business owner who feels stretched, overwhelmed or in need of reliable and thoughtful support. Her contribution has made running my business easier, calmer and far more manageable."

“I am a freelance musician who came to Cate for support in dealing with the administrative side of my job.

Catherine has set me up with a system that has alleviated a lot of chaos (!) and stress, meaning that I am increasingly now able to focus on the creative aspects to my work.

Cate is an excellent, attentive listener: she takes everything you say in and she asks questions that help you to think through your goals clearly.

She is incredibly organised, time-efficient and communicative.”

“Some while back, having purchased a property in Haute-Normandie as a holiday home-I received a frighteningly large bill for my electricity over there.

My level of French is pretty disastrous and I knew that I wouldn’t have enough of the language to navigate through the bureaucracy on the phone with a French electric company.

Luckily for me Cate was able to come to the rescue and even obtained for me a sizeable refund as the bill was an annual estimate rather than metered for my small usage. Without her invaluable help it would’ve cost me thousands in euros, literally. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.”
