Penny Millar on How a Virtual Assistant Can Be Your Business’s 25th Hour

Weekly Round-Up: Penny Millar, Pink Spaghetti PA Services
This week, Penny Millar gave a brilliant and refreshingly honest presentation about life as a virtual assistant and the wide-ranging support Pink Spaghetti offers to small businesses. From managing inboxes and setting up systems to stepping into long-term projects with minimal hand-holding, Penny and her team are all about giving business owners their time back—and a bit of breathing space too.
She shared examples of three very different clients: a street food vendor who handed over her social media during a difficult life chapter, a local charity needing flexible ad hoc support, and a learning and development company who rely on Penny as a steady part of their delivery team. The common thread? Tailored, reliable, behind-the-scenes support that just gets things done.
With scalability, flexibility, and trust at the heart of her approach, it’s clear why clients stick around—and why Pink Spaghetti is much more than just admin help.
We had a lively meeting with 21 members in the room, 5 new referrals passed, and over £3,000 now generated from past introductions. Great energy, great conversation, and a strong sense of local businesses helping each other thrive.
