Emma Crabtree - Business Support

Hello. I am Emma Crabtree.

This is me with my fabulous dog, Teddy Salad. Yes, named after a character from a Monty Python sketch.

Who You Are

You are time-short, committed to what you do and realise it’s good to have someone else on your team. You require someone to undertake the day-to-day administration that is time consuming and/or not profitable or efficient to do yourself. You know you’re good at being you, but managing the day-to-day aspects of a business may not be something you ace!

What I Do

I am a business manager for lots of other businesses. I bring depth of knowledge and experience into your business. I’ve worked with start-ups and fully formed businesses, with individual entrepreneurs and teams of people. I am in the business of building relationships, becoming a ‘partner’ in your business. I am in this for the long haul with you.

As an idea of who uses my services, I am currently working with several organisations across the UK, including a coach and a Not-for-Profit, a management consultant in Denmark and with a serial-entrepreneur in Italy.

Introducing Teddy Salad, my business support dog!

How it Works

I work from home. And yes that does mean that I get to work in my pyjamas on the cold days. It also means no commuting, walking the dog when I want to, setting my own schedule & workload.

And how does it all work? By email and Zoom and WhatsApp! As we are all too aware, advances in technology mean that you don’t need to be sharing office space, let alone be in the same town or even in the same time zone. The idea of what and what is not possible really has changed dramatically in such a short space of time.

After all, we’re all adults. It’s in my interests to be proactive, tenacious and personable. To get work completed on time and to budget. For you to trust me. I can save you time, money, stress and a few tears. Give me a call.

 

Why Red Box?

When I was a child, I had a box, in to which I would put my most valued possessions. Pony rosettes, Sindy clothes, my Pippa doll. It was red.

I hope you will use Red Box to keep what you value, safe.

Get in touch

I know that outsourcing can feel a bit scary. You may also be thinking that taking the time out to teach me your systems & processes would be a lot of hard work. It may be hard in the first few weeks, but afterwards you will think, "Why didn't I do this earlier." Guaranteed.
