About Rachael Pielow
Traditional PA services with a modern twist
Transforming businesses since 1999 – let me take your admin away
About Me
I really enjoy helping people and supporting businesses; giving people more time to do what they need or love to do!
I have over 20 years secretarial experience, ranging from Team Secretary to Personal Assistant, to Virtual Assistant. My experience spans a major property company in London, the medical industry, and the financial sector.
When I branched out into the world of ‘Virtual PA’, my clients became more varied. I have worked with business starts ups, established businesses needing one off support and families needing help with sourcing and obtaining references for builders, and other general household admin, such as managing diaries and making appointments.
Being a Personal Assistant is a very fulfilling and rewarding career and I look forward to helping you fulfil your ambitions!
What my clients say
“Rachael has been invaluable to me while I was setting up my beach changing robe business.
She helped keep my manufacturers on track to deliver on time to the UK in order to make a launch ‘film’. She found packaging and postal bags that conformed to my ethos and helped with the interminable Amazon listing sagas.
She is proactive, good at working to a deadline and is always cheerful.
I thoroughly recommend her as a safe, honest pair of hands.“

Why use my PA Services?
Have you found yourself paying extortionate prices for a temporary PA, using recruitment agencies that charge double without a guarantee of a PA that will be a match for you?
By coming directly to me, you are cutting your business costs dramatically by cutting out the ‘middle man’.
Or perhaps you don’t work from a traditional office, and need an assistant who can work both virtually and also in person.
Whilst I like to work remotely, I am also a very sociable person and enjoy going to clients’ homes and offices to help them carry out tasks in person.
There is nothing like face to face meetings, in an increasingly virtual world. I strongly feel that in order to build up a rapport with clients, it is necessary to work with them in their own environment. It also helps to give me a real sense of who they are and what they need.
Not all tasks can be done remotely. For example, archiving old documents, letters, photo albums, newspapers and so on.
I am fairly unique in that I am happy to work both virtually, and travel to your office, home or meeting place.
Based in beautiful West Sussex
I live near Pulborough, West Sussex. I am a Sussex girl at heart, having grown up here, where I trained as a Secretary after attending Eastbourne College.
My family love the area we live in. It is close to London and yet surrounded by countryside, the best of both worlds! We love the outdoors and going for walks with our dogs. I am a keen runner and have managed to convince my children to join me on occasion. I have recently taken up wild swimming, but this has so far proved to be a step too far for my little ones!
Proud to support my clients and local businesses
What my clients say
“I have known Rachael for many years, firstly she worked as my PA at Mapeley Estates Ltd.
More recently she helped me with my property business, taking bookings and managing the property website, as well as assisting me with my personal affairs.
Rachael is efficient, trustworthy and a good person to have on your team. She is fun to work with, accountable and professional. Robin Hughes CEO Castle View Retirement Village.”

“Rachael came to us during a very chaotic time when our PA/Nanny was due to depart back home. In a busy household with 3 children we needed someone who could be proactive, learn quickly and be capable of figuring things out in a non-corporate, ever changing environment.
She understood the tasks at hand and was able to organise things efficiently.
She was a fantastic help and more than anything, a lovely, trustworthy, great natured person to have around an intimate environment.”
