about me

Helping small businesses achieve their goals.

Our Philosophy

We understand that as a business owner a lack of time and resource can often lead you to take on more and more operational activities, so bringing in short-term, flexible support can alleviate this...and we have plenty of knowledge and skills to share with you.

Perhaps you have a backlog of admin, or a series of small tasks that are taking up your time (you might think it's quicker to do them yourself than to try to explain them to anyone else). But these can add up and before you know it another day or week has gone by and you still haven't tackled the big items on your 'to do' list. We can help you clear the decks and catch up.

We pride ourselves in making the transition and handover of tasks easy for our clients, leaving you secure in the knowledge that the work is in safe hands.

I'm Caroline, the owner at breeze.

I've spent the last 25 years working in both large and small businesses, building most of my career within Learning & Development in a variety of different departments including sales and business development. More recently, during the last 6 years or so, I've worked for smaller businesses within their Executive Teams and headed up an HR, Learning & Development function.

It was through making the transition to working for smaller businesses that I recognised there can often be a need for versatile, ad-hoc support to help out in all sorts of areas and this is what encouraged me to set up breeze....to be that helping hand when it's needed. Small business owners don't always want to take on additional permanent/full-time resource and their existing staff can often find themselves having very little spare time to take on additional tasks - even for a short period of time.

A couple of years ago I made the decision to work primarily from home - I've worked successfully in homebased roles many times during my career and am self motivated and much more productive that way. So, being able to work with my clients on a virtual basis most of the time means I'm here when you need me, and not when you don't!

What our customers say.

“Caroline got to know and understand my business very quickly and helped me see what I could handover and let her take on for me. Crucially, this handover didn't take long and the work she does is always of a high standard. I work long days and now I come home, relax and spend time with my family instead of spending most of the evening doing paperwork in the home office. Caroline dedicates a set number of hours each week to my business and the peace of mind I have knowing that everything is taken care of is invaluable to me”

David, Electrical Contractor

“As the Operations Manager of a small plumbing business my workload varies week to week and sometimes I just need an extra pair of hands. We work with Caroline on an ad-hoc basis, pulling her in when we need help with bookings, debt chasing, a backlog of work and all sorts of other things that I don't always have time to do myself when the phones are busy. Caroline has quickly got to know the systems we use and has adapted easily to the way we work, making tasks simple to handover. She always completes tasks on time and to a high standard. She also helped the Director recently with some research for a couple of small projects. This has been a huge help and given us information to be able to make some crucial business decisions” Jo, Operations Manager.
