Our Guest – Susan Wright

After working for over 20 years’ in the Corporate World predominantly in the Private Equity sector, Susan obtained a wealth of knowledge, learned and developed her skillset and gained a fount of experience.  For many years, Susan did so many mail merges that she was able to recite from memory how to do one from scratch over the phone to a colleague whilst being on holiday!!  This was also true with headers and footers in Word.

Susan came about this industry by chance.  Following a couple of redundancies and a second spell of long-term sick leave, she was unsure if she would be able to procure and maintain a new employed role, so having a couple of contacts who required some ad hoc admin support, she set up Susan’s Office Solutions in 2017.  It was at a visit to the PA Show in February 2018 where Susan met a number of inspirational people and came away with a bucket load of information that enlightened her to the industry.  She took this new found knowledge (and a call enquiring if she sold copy paper!) to re-brand and professionalise her business.  Susan re-launched exactly a year later in September 2018 as The Wright VA.

Susan assists a range of clients and as a born organiser, a desire to help and a want for all things ‘right’, she goes above and beyond to ensure these qualities are met for her clients.
