Turning Your Chaos Into Calm

About me . . .

Hi, I’m Jane, the founder of Ancora Virtual Support.

Ancora was born from a desire to take control of my own career after being made redundant (again!) and to build something meaningful on my own terms.

From day-to-day admin to more complex support, if you need it done, I am here to help.

If your workload feels overwhelming or your to-do list never ends, Ancora Virtual Support could be the answer.

I bring over 30 years’ experience as a PA/EA, supporting C-suite executives, senior managers, teams, large corporates and small businesses. I’m a natural “do-er” — I thrive on taking care of the support tasks so my clients can focus on what they do best.

Get in touch to arrange an introductory meeting and find out how I can turn your chaos into calm.

Jane was Office Manager and PA to the Directors in our busy design agency and she was a vital part of making the whole business run! She is highly organised, proactive and consistently effective at streamlining and improving day-to-day operations. She handles all executive responsibilities and sensitive matters with professionalism and discretion.

Jane is a significant asset to any team and I would recommend her without hesitation.

She is highly organised, discreet, and always one step ahead, handling last-minute changes with ease and helping everything run smoothly behind the scenes. She brings a positive, approachable energy to her work and is a genuine pleasure to work with. I trust her completely and would happily recommend her for any role requiring strong organisational skills and thoughtful support.

She has a rare ability to make everything feel easier and more manageable, while still delivering quickly and to a high standard. Jane is proactive, calm under pressure, and consistently thinks one step ahead.

She brings positivity and energy to every interaction, so if you’re looking for someone who provides exceptional professional support and is genuinely enjoyable to work with, I couldn’t recommend Jane more highly.
