Hire a dedicated offshore executive assistant
A dedicated offshore executive assistant costs £950 per month at Junior level, £1,250 at Mid-level and £1,600 at Senior level, all-inclusive through Aspire Offshore — against £3,038–£5,138 per month fully loaded for the equivalent UK hire, a saving of up to £42,456 per year.
One person. Your business only.
An experienced executive assistant is one of the highest-leverage hires a founder or director can make — and at UK salaries, one of the hardest to justify. The dedicated offshore model changes that arithmetic: full-time, exclusive EA support from £950 a month.
Choose the level you need. A junior EA handles your calendar, inbox and day-to-day. A mid-level EA takes on more autonomy and project coordination. A senior EA operates as a true right hand — board comms, confidential matters, running your operating rhythm. All work on UK hours, embedded in your tools.
What your executive assistant can take care of
- Full calendar ownership and prioritisation
- Meeting preparation, agendas and minutes
- Leadership inbox management
- Board and stakeholder communication support
- Travel and logistics, end to end
- Confidential document handling
- Project and deadline tracking across leadership
- Gatekeeping and time protection

The case in one paragraph
The difference between an EA and a VA is judgement: an EA decides, drafts and protects rather than just executes. Pick junior for core support, mid for autonomy, or senior (8+ years supporting leadership) when you want to delegate outcomes, not tasks.

Executive Assistant FAQs
How much does an offshore executive assistant cost?
£950 per month at Junior level, £1,250 at Mid-level and £1,600 at Senior level — all-inclusive of salary, workstation, HR and UK account management. The equivalent UK EA costs £3,038–£5,138 per month fully loaded depending on level and benchmark — an annual saving of up to £42,456.
What's the difference between the junior, mid and senior levels?
A junior EA (1–3 years) handles the core day-to-day: calendar, inbox, scheduling, travel and admin. A mid-level EA (4–7 years) works with more autonomy — managing competing priorities and coordinating projects with less direction. A senior EA (8+ years) operates as a true right hand: board communication, confidential matters and often coordinating other staff. We'll help you pick the right level on a free call.
Can an offshore EA handle confidential information?
Yes — discretion is a core selection criterion, every placement is covered by NDAs, and delivery runs from ISO 27001 certified facilities with access controls. You control exactly which systems and information they touch.
What's the difference between your EA and VA roles?
A VA executes defined tasks excellently. An EA owns outcomes: managing your time, judging priorities, drafting on your behalf and running your operating rhythm. If you need someone to think one step ahead of you, it's the EA.
