The Nod - Testimonials
Dr Carolin Barth, CEO & Biotech/Pharma Advisor
Gilly is absolutely amazing! We moved as a family from overseas to the UK in 2021 and right from the start she was there to help us with literally everything (helping us find an Airbnb, then a house rental, schooling for my kids, organising the removals company, orchestrating the move, etc.). She is incredibly pro-active and identifies potential issues way before they even occur and she is super responsive (really 24/7) – when my son fell and we needed to go to the hospital on the weekend, she was there to guide us to the best place – when we had a water leakage in the house, she came and organised the plumber on the same day…she is absolutely brilliant and always looks for the best solution. Her customer orientation is superb and we trusted her more than 100% - and enjoyed every minute we interacted with her.
Unfortunately, we moved back to Switzerland last year and could not take her with us – still trying to convince her to move but without success so far…!

You and Your Household PA are seriously a MUST have not a NICE to have. Supporting with such an array of tasks and being the most incredible asset.
Gilly and I are committee members with the Strategic PA Network. Gilly is one of those people you automatically gravitate towards. She has such a warm, infectious and kindness to her. So when the opportunity presented itself to hire a Virtual Assistant I couldn't think of anyone better to support me with my venture. I have been working with Gilly since March last year and her support has been invaluable. She is totally aligned with my vision and passion, my go to confidant and wizard. I know I can rely on Gilly wholeheartedly and that's the most precious commodity. Gilly has simply given me piece of mind.

I attended The PA Show 2021 where Gilly was a speaker in the VA Theatre. Her presentation was incredibly brave, motivational and inspiring, I felt privileged to hear the story that she shared that day. Her style was down to earth and captured my attention from the start. Her talk was both entertaining and moving providing a good perspective for both personal and professional life. After her talk I was able to share some time with Gilly which was greatly appreciated. I hope she continues to provide such inspiring and passionate speeches.

Gilly worked with me at Middleton Advisors for 5 years as an Executive Assistant. At all times she was attentive, hard working, diligent and thoughtful. She had a solutions based approach and was precise and thorough. I have no hesitation in recommending Gilly to anyone who is considering working with her.
I worked with Gilly at Middleton Advisors for 3 years. In that time ! learnt so many new skills and gained valuable knowledge from her. She truly is a joy to work with and has a great sense of humour. Her organisational skills and attention to detail are second to none, always thinking ahead and always completes her work to the highest standard. I would highly recommend Gilly to anyone considering using her services.

A wealth of experience in her field. A very strong and inspiring lady with such a warm personality. Gilly will certainly be someone I will continue to work and network with. A true gem.

Excellent podcast Gilly, you’re a natural. Letting go of the ‘what ifs’ and embracing ‘if not now…when?...’ very powerful.

'Going the extra mile' is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Gilly. I have known her personally and professionally for over 30 years, and her attention to detail and organisational skills make her a fabulous asset to any organisation or individual seeking her services. She is the epitome of discretion, incredibly resourceful and great fun too! I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her.

Those boring, horrible, time consuming tasks that take you away from the fun stuff are all brilliantly executed with no drama. As if they were magically completed! I wouldn’t be without her and highly recommend her to anyone knee high in jobs!'
