Me, Isabelle Pearcey
"Work, home or play — for me, it’s about leaving it better than when I arrived"
Striving for balance in both work and lifestyle is key for us and our clients. Of course, it’s ever-levelling and adjustments are daily.
This flux state translates into searching for new ways to deliver excellence through a high-quality virtual assistant service – and one that empowers others to achieve.
I’m ever-growing a deeply connected team of like-minded individuals with whom I proudly collaborate, and who support each other to do our best work and feel happy whilst doing it!
Balance also plays into who I am – one part professional problem-solver with an international corporate background, the other part team-spirited, empathetic and caring.
A WORLD OF EXPERIENCE
About Isabelle
My senior-level EA administration and office management expertise draws on over two decades of experience. Over half of this was gained servicing international and managing partners at law firms and at a premium global drinks company.
This wealth of know-how brings agility and confidence – essential in high-pressure, fast-paced environments, and in developing effective relationships with colleagues, clients and stakeholders at all levels.

Izz Whizz VA launched in early 2023, operating remotely from my office in North Somerset, UK.
I work with individuals, solopreneurs as well as small to medium-sized charities and businesses – an inspiring mix that adds to my personal and business growth.
I pride myself on being the go-to VEA and trade mark formalities specialist among my networks. With plenty of advocates, business frequently comes through word of mouth.

With a Russian degree and a case full of dried foods (don’t ask), aged 20, I tentatively travelled on a one-way ticket to Russia, alone. I taught English to adults and children of all ages; paid and voluntary.
Later, I put into practice my administration experience in Russian and Eastern European markets, during a five-year tenure as Executive Assistant to a senior Partner/Head of Russia Practice at two global law firms. The Head invited me to join her at another global law firm and to be instrumental in establishing a new Russia practice.

Prior to this, I had spent a few years heading up the Renewals section within a Trade Mark and Brand Protection Group at a European law firm in London. I managed renewal and post-registration maintenance of a large varied worldwide client portfolio. I was key to growing the service delivery and effectively oversaw a small team.

How are we different?
In work and in life, I promote a people-first culture. My focus is building good, long-lasting, trusting relationships.
To fulfil our services to the highest standards, it’s vital to get to know you as a person and a professional. We become truly invested in your business. This is how we succeed.
The UK VA agency market is very competitive. We don’t compete on price, speed, or volume. Izz Whizz VA competes on something different: the equal, deliberate care of both the client and the team as inseparable parts of the same product.
Making a difference
Giving back is of great importance to me. I undertake pro bono charity assignments each year. In 2023, I volunteered at Unicornfest in Bristol in support of Leukaemia Care. In 2024-25, I’m supporting The Arukah Project with planning their first ever annual conference.
Izz Whizz VA prioritises sustainable and eco-conscious suppliers and organisations.
You need someone who can
intelligently nurture your business as if it were theirs
comfortably take a high-level overview
proactively find solutions
instinctively think two steps ahead
wisely make decisions in your absence
naturally, build long-term relationships
implicitly respect the highest levels of confidentiality
confidently self-manage, gatekeep and manage your time
considerately implement systems and improvements
happily take on small tasks, too.
That’s where Izz Whizz VA comes in
Today, I’m your sounding board – we’ll identify what support you need, where you need it, and which team member will be best positioned to support your needs. I can also help you work out what to outsource and show you ways of delegating effectively.
