Real Results: VA Support in Action for Small Teams

Busy business owners often face the same challenge: how to stay focused on high-value work while still keeping the day-to-day operations moving. Between scheduling, emails, event logistics and client communications, even the most efficient leaders can find themselves stretched thin. That’s exactly where Virtual Assistant support becomes a game-changer.

At Virtual Assistants Ireland, we work with a wide range of clients who want to grow sustainably, without the overwhelm. One such client, Rodger O’Connor of ROC Energy Consulting, is a perfect example of how strategic support can help shift from daily admin chaos to clarity and control.

The Challenge: Admin Overload Blocking Strategic Focus

Rodger runs ROC Energy Consulting, a business committed to creating a sustainable energy future through improved building practices and renewable energy integration. With over two decades of experience in energy efficiency, compliance and forecasting, Rodger’s expertise was in high demand.

But like many solo founders or small team leaders, his time was being consumed by administrative tasks. From managing emails to planning events, there wasn’t enough space left for the strategic work that truly grows a business. He needed support, not just to save time but to bring back structure, responsiveness and breathing room.

The Solution: A Skilled VA Matched to His Business Needs

We provided Rodger with an Executive, Personal & Team Assistant who had more than 22 years of experience supporting C-Suite individuals and managing demanding workflows.

She brought much more than admin support, she brought confidence, professionalism and adaptability. Her skillset included everything from Microsoft Office, Outlook and Concur to creative platforms like Canva and Hootsuite. She was also comfortable with tools like LinkedIn, WordPress and AVS for basic content and visual asset management.

But most importantly, she understood what it takes to support a fast-moving business leader. With background in high-stakes event planning and team coordination, she didn’t just handle tasks, she anticipated needs, managed logistics and helped Rodger get ahead of his schedule instead of reacting to it.

The Results: Focus, Productivity and Better Client Relationships

With his VA in place, Rodger could shift focus back to what mattered most, project delivery, consulting and strategic growth. Meetings were scheduled, follow-ups were handled and communications were streamlined. His VA became a reliable point of contact for clients and stakeholders, improving the company’s responsiveness and overall client experience.

He gained back time and clarity, two things business owners often lose without realising it.
