About Lara…
Freeing up business owners to concentrate on actually running the business, or simply regain some work-life balance.
“Learn how to just get stuff done”
I’m Lara, founder of Fourth Floor Virtual Business Support, and I help business owners turn ideas and plans into clear actions, organised systems and successful outcomes.
With over 20 years’ experience in management roles across marketing, events, operations and administration, I work as a trusted partner to SMEs and growing businesses, providing flexible support across strategy, marketing and business delivery.
Why Clients Work With Me
Business owners often come to me because they need someone who can see the bigger picture while also just getting things done.
I bring:
• 20+ years’ commercial management experience
• Operational expertise combined with a marketing specialism
• A practical, organised approach to problem solving
• The ability to work independently while integrating seamlessly into your team
• Flexible support that adapts as your business grows
My goal is simple - to make your business run more smoothly and help you focus on what matters most.
I mainly work virtually with businesses across the UK, but can also support companies onsite in Greater Manchester and the North West where necessary.
If you need strategic marketing support, project management or operational help, I’d love to discuss how I can support your business.
Outside Work
When I’m not supporting clients, I’m usually outdoors with my family enjoying fell walking, tennis or travel, or indulging my love of 80’s music and films.
I also have a lot of love for spreadsheets and find any excuse to use them…because why wouldn’t you?
I cannot express the professionalism and sincere care for my business that has been received so far...Lara has taken time to really understand me, my sector and my clients and has so far offered great advice on how we can use new marketing strategies, and develop existing ones to help the boutique reach its full potential, focussing on ways to grow brand awareness. I would never have been aware of this, but Lara is guiding me through, and with her professional eye I now see things from a different angle.
Highly recommend Lara and can’t wait to continue our marketing journey together....”
