Real support, from someone who gets it!
Hi, I’m Stacey – a Virtual Assistant based in Milton Keynes, big fan of efficient business support and accidental owner of a name that sounds like a punchline.
I work with small business owners across the UK who are ready to stop doing everything themselves.
So, whether you need help with admin, content, social media, or just a bit of sanity-saving support, I’m here to get things done with zero drama and bags of dedication.
Why work with me?
Running a business can be exhausting; your to-do list breeds overnight, you can’t remember the last time you had a lunch break that didn’t involve multitasking, and admin seems to be the one thing that never disappears – no matter how many times you “just quickly sort it.”
That’s where I come in.
I’m here to be a steady, reliable, human part of your team – someone who genuinely cares, takes initiative, and gets stuck in without making things more complicated.
Here’s what you’ll get when you work with me:
- A calm, capable presence who doesn’t panic when your inbox looks like a war zone
- Over 20 years of good. solid real-world business experience and hard work
- Clear, honest communication with zero judgement
- A hands-on, roll-your-sleeves-up approach – I’m always looking for ways to make your life easier
- A trusted sounding board who’ll cheer you on, keep you organised, and tell it like it is (nicely, of course).
My clients don’t just need someone to tick off tasks. They need someone they trust, laugh with, and turn to when things get busy, who understands their business.
That’s the space I step into – with a mix of professionalism, personality, and a genuine drive to help.
No drama. No overpromising. Just someone you can count on.
What’s my background?
Like many good stories, this one starts with a glass of wine.
Back in 2020, I was on furlough, sipping on a ‘Furlough Merlot’ and reflecting on life before, during and after Covid when it hit me – I really didn’t like my job.
So, in what some might call a bold move (others might say slightly unhinged), I handed in my notice and started Pure Virtual Assistants.
Since then, I’ve worked with brilliant businesses across the UK, including mortgage brokers, estate agents, food industry professionals, and marketing agencies, to name but a few.
Every client is different, but they all need reliable support they can actually count on.
My working style is very hands-on. I like to get properly stuck in, understand your business and become someone you can trust to just get things done without endless back and forth.
And while I now get paid for my time, my Dad still insists on using me as his personal PA as his Christmas gift shopper every year. Let’s just say that particular client pays in tiramisu and sarcasm.
Who am I, really?
I grew up in a picture-postcard village in Kent called Shepherdswell, but I made Milton Keynes my home in 2005.
It’s where I met my husband, became Stacey Lacey (yes, that really is my name), and where we now live with our 13-year-old daughter, who keeps life busy, sassy, and absolutely hilarious!.
When I’m not helping clients run their businesses more smoothly, you’ll usually find me strength training in the gym, hunting for a bargain holiday or weekend break, singing my heart out at a live gig, or catching up with mates over a glass of prosecco or two. I’ve also got a soft spot for cosying up with a good book and a hot chocolate…heaven!
Let’s have a chat!
Whether you need ongoing support, a little help each month, or some one-off assistance, I’d love to hear from you. Book a free 20-minute discovery call to see if we’re a good fit for each other, and let’s talk about how I can help.
