Starting and growing a business takes time, energy, and focus. As an entrepreneur or business owner, you’re juggling a lot—building your brand, managing clients, handling finances, and keeping everything running smoothly. But often, the most critical aspects of your business get pushed to the side because there simply isn’t enough time in the day.
That’s where The Exec Desk comes in.

Hi, I’m Sophie Burton, the founder of The Exec Desk. After 15 years of working in office management and marketing, I realised that the secret to growing a business isn’t just about working harder—it’s about working smarter. And for many small businesses and startups, working smarter means having the right support in place.
A New Approach to Executive Support
At The Exec Desk, we provide tailored executive assistant services to help small businesses and growing startups take control of their administrative tasks. Our approach is different. We’re not just offering a service; we’re providing a solution that fits your unique needs. Whether it’s managing your emails, scheduling meetings, or creating systems to streamline your daily operations, we’re here to take the administrative burden off your plate.
As a working parent myself, I understand how tricky it can be to balance work and family life. That’s why I founded The Exec Desk with a core value of adaptability—to offer businesses a flexible and sustainable solution for their admin needs, so they can focus on what matters most.
