Jo Atherton

An extra team member you can rely on whenever you need.

Portrait of Jo Atherton
Based in Bristol, UK

Business support without the costs and responsibilities of a full-time employee.


Jo supports businesses to achieve goals and complete important tasks. This might include introducing processes, managing marketing campaigns, creating or updating marketing materials, website maintenance, invoicing and expenses, general day-to-day administration, personal assistance, and much more. She can be involved in all aspects of supporting a business to run smoothly.

Jo is tenacious in her approach to achieving personal business goals and has the same approach when supporting her clients.                                 

Experienced, remote-friendly support.

Set up to work remotely (and happy to work by your side from time to time), Jo has over 20 years of professional experience, the appropriate skills to carry out assignments, and access to tools such as Adobe Creative Cloud (for marketing and design work) and Microsoft 365 (for day-to-day administration).

Jo is enthusiastic to learn all about what you do and looks forward to supporting you.

“Jo and I worked together on a very challenging organisational restructuring project. She successfully drew the core team together into a cohesive performing body in an extremely short time frame. Jo is a well-organised self-starter who combines a natural effervescence, with a calm persona to navigate her way through transformation and deliver on her commitments, with demonstrable stoicism and an infectious sense of humour.”

You probably…

  • Keep pushing important tasks to the side.
  • Have a project you want to explore, but don’t have the time.
  • Have a process that needs attention or needs implementing.
  • Need to create or update marketing materials.
  • Need your inbox and calendar managing.
  • Have outstanding expenses to reconcile.
  • Are overwhelmed with tasks you don’t enjoy.
  • Relate to some or all of the above (and more!).

Packages and rates

By choosing to use Jo’s services, you don’t need to worry about holiday pay, equipment, or any of the legal requirements that go with having a full-time employee. You can simply call when you need support, or have regular ongoing support.

Jo charges £35 per hour (plus VAT).     

Bespoke packages can be discussed during an initial, free-of-charge consultation. During this time together,  you will find out what it looks like to work with Jo and make a plan to move forward. If you are not quite sure what you need help with, this will be discovered during the consultation.   

If you are Bristol based, Jo is more than happy to visit you in person or can meet remotely if preferred.           

Hand your to-do… to Jo.

“Jo was invaluable to me when I was setting up my business. She gave me advice on being a sole trader and what I needed to do. She created my marketing materials and I was so pleased with the results. She also created templates for me to use with my clients. I call on Jo when I need her; it is a great comfort to know she is there.”
