Hello You!
Let’s get to know each other.
Hi, I’m Sam, your Business Support Partner on this heroic journey called running a business.
What’s my USP?
Well…me! After 20+ years in corporate I’ve seen the good and the bad in business and gathered some pretty awesome skills along the way, that I now share with ambitious small business owners like you.
I’m also the proud owner of a neurospicy brain, excellent for looking at challenges from a totally different angle to most people. For many of my clients, standing in the same place, looking at the same things in the same old way is what’s actually holding them back from progress – so a fresh perspective can be the gamechanger.

I am more than just a Business Support Partner
I am your personal cheerleader…
I take my job seriously and invest in my own skills all the time, I’m currently studying for a Psychology degree (as if I wasn’t busy enough!), because learning what makes people tick and why they behave in the way they do, makes me a whole lot better at what I do.
I’m also a Tourette’s friendly employer, trained in understanding autism and currently training in ADHD/ASD and ND to better support my clients.
But I’m more than just a Business Support Partner, I am also your personal cheerleader, your “How are you today?” person and your “What do you need?” lady, providing motivation and encouragement when you need it.
If you’re wanting to achieve more in your business, then I’m ready to help you get there faster with a second brain (mine) and a second pair of hands (also mine!).
Some fun facts about me
I’m an ex-dancer who almost danced at Eurovision (didn’t see that coming did you!).
I’ve been in a Woman & Home Magazine feature with Lady Karren Brady.
I also featured in a national ad campaign for Sainsbury’s (in my bra none the less!)
I’m a Theo Paphitis #SBS winner and a #SmallBiz100 winner (go me!)
I’m mad about books and films, I love Studio Ghbli, Terry Pratchett and Stephen King.
I live with two boys, one pesky husband, a cat called Kuro, and a dog called Rolo.

Enthusiastic in every task
‘Sam joined the Crescent team as an Associate in 2022, and has been a delight to work with ever since. She is enthusiastic in every task she is given.
The clients she supports have nothing but positive praise for her. Often she will provide solutions to challenges without being asked, and these are usually taken on board as they really do solve the problem.
Sam is fun to work with but knows when to knuckle down if the work requires this. I have no hesitation in putting her in front of clients or recommending her.’
– Amy Russell, Crescent Business Support Limited –
Business Superhero
Sam is a valued member of the team at The Mears Collective and has been a real asset with her tech skills and ‘can do’ attitude.
Sam works directly with our clients as a Virtual Assistant, but I have also utilised her skills directly in my own business, as she is creative, tech-savvy and a pleasure to work with.

Outstanding Technical Knowledge
‘I have recently been working closely with Sam on a mutual clients project. I have found her technical knowledge and communication skills to be outstanding and her ability to collaborate seamlessly with our mutual clients needs was the end game.
I’ve really enjoyed working with Sam and I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone who needs her quality services.
