Deborah Baker Virtual Executive Assistant
Helping business leaders focus on strategy while I handle the detail.
About Deborah Baker VA
About me
I bring over 30 years’ experience as an Executive and Personal Assistant at board level, supporting Managing Directors and senior leaders.
Most recently, I worked at BT supporting a Managing Director with a team of over 8,000 across the UK, Hungary, and India — managing complex diaries, inboxes, confidential documentation, and high-level reporting during times of major organisational change.
Earlier roles include working with firms such as Eversheds Sutherland, Blake Morgan, Action for Children, St. Modwen where I provided senior-level PA and business support.
Trusted for my discretion, professionalism, and efficiency, I have built lasting relationships and a strong network across industries.
Now based near Hereford, I provide virtual PA support to leaders and organisations nationwide. With years of experience in inbox and calendar management I ensure you can focus on what truly matters in your business.
Deborah Baker VA: Your Personal Assistant
What is a Virtual Assistant
A Virtual Assistant (VA) is a skilled professional who provides remote business, executive or personal support, in my case on a contractual. The role has evolved significantly in recent years, with increasing demand driven by changes in working culture, and a desire for greater flexibility from both businesses and support professionals.
Why Choose me?
I can provide you with executive level support but without the commitment of a full time member of staff. I work remotely, but, in some cases can attend your office depending on location. However, please bear in mind that this is my business so any travel costs and time are chargeable to you. I can provide:
- Executive-level support such as diary and inbox management
- Personal assistance including lifestyle coordination and travel booking
- Project administration, research, and more
- Specialist support like social media scheduling or CRM management
Pricing
My pricing starts at £35 an hour for general VA support. However, if you require a regular block of time per day or week, I do offer retainer package. These will depend on the support you are looking for.

About Us

Gareth, Gloucestershire
I had the pleasure of working with Deborah at St Modwen where she held a number of senior administrative positions over the years. Not only was she very efficient and effective in these roles and the multitude of tasks asked of her, but she was also collaborative and a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate in recommending her and expect to engage her VA services myself.

Deb worked as my PA whilst I was MD for St. Modwen Homes. She is a very organised, proactive, flexible and experienced PA with excellent communication skills. She helped prepare documents and presentations, dealt with expenses, streamlined my diary and in box and planned and organised successful off-site events. I highly recommend her as a virtual assistant.
