About Us
Practical support by people who get it.
Allocate Virtual Assistant was created to help small business owners stop drowning in admin, messy systems, and never-ending to-do lists.
Because running a business is hard enough without trying to do everything yourself.
Hi, I’m Alison
I’m the founder of Allocate Virtual Assistant, and I started this business after years of working in admin roles and supporting business owners behind the scenes.
I’ve seen first-hand how much time and energy gets lost to inboxes, spreadsheets, half-set-up systems, and tasks that need doing but don’t need to be done by you.
Allocate was built to change that.
From Yorkshire
Love coffee, books cake and the colour blue.
Fav moto - The days that you don't, are fewer days that you can.
When you’re ready to grow, just Allocate a VA.


"Alison has been an incredible support to me and my clients. She manages our Xero invoicing and keeps the inbox perfectly organised. She initially started as maternity cover but has since become an invaluable asset to my business. I can finally relax knowing everything is in such capable hands."

I can highly recommend Alison, she totally saved my website and made it better than ever! She’s a pleasure to work with, extremely patient (even after my numerous changes) and most of all 100% efficient. Cannot recommend Alison highly enough.

"I was completely overwhelmed by my inbox before I started working with Alison. She has taken over my email management with such efficiency and a friendly, professional touch. It’s a massive weight off my shoulders knowing my communications are in safe hands while I focus on running my business. I can't recommend the team enough!"
