What our clients say
I just wanted to take a moment to formally acknowledge the fantastic support Jo provides — and the real difference it makes to my working week. She’s consistently brilliant, but her attention to detail in organising yesterday’s trip really stood out. From adding travel details to my calendar, to weighing up departure time versus cost and even selecting great seats, everything was considered and seamless. It’s not just helpful — it gives me time back and headspace to focus elsewhere, which I really value.
Julie Gingell | Managing Director
I am so happy to have found Hour Hands. Sarah has been phenomenal at taking the stress out of setting up powerpoint templates, canva documents and all of the things that take me so much time. I look forward to more work together in the future!
