66 | SME News Midlands Enterprise Awards 2023 Best Neurodiverse Entrepreneurial Support Provider 2023 The Executive Solutions Agency Ltd is a multi-service agency that helps change the lives of its ambitious and forward-thinking clients by cutting out the noise in an over-stimulated world and allowing them to feel confident and in control. We find out more from Sasha Saville in the wake of the agency being named in the Midlands Enterprise Awards 2023. Launched in March 2020, The Executive Solutions Agency Ltd provides holistic outsourcing solutions for small businesses needing support in various administration, delivery, and marketing areas. Within four months of inception, it began building its team as its workload was quickly expanding. “The Executive Solutions Agency helps forward-thinking entrepreneurs grow their business with a sense of freedom,” explains Sasha Saville, the founder of the agency. “Freedom from worrying about those challenging or overwhelming elements of the business – and release from feeling stressed due to lack of time.” Sasha was born and schooled in Worcestershire, and has worked her whole career in and around the Birmingham area. Sasha explains that she feels “fortunate to live in such a vibrant and diverse region” and being a virtual business allows her to spend more time at home with her young family. One of the agency’s key differentiators, and something that helps it distinguish itself from competitors, is that it works with many neurodiverse entrepreneurs who may struggle with things like admin, organising their diaries, managing their inboxes, and other business tasks, which many of them put off or feel overwhelmed by. The dedicated team is trained in neurodiversity support and has experience in both living and working with professionals who have ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or dyspraxia. Sasha herself has first-hand experience as she grew up with two family members, her father and brother, who were both dyslexic and therefore she understands the daily challenges they have faced throughout their education and continue to face in their careers. It was after working with a client and discovering that they had ADHD which really prompted Sasha to set up the agency specialising in this niche sector. She explains, “Because of my own lived experience it drove me to want to help them. I started to research, expand my knowledge, and discover how as a business we could change the way we worked with him to support him better.” Sasha continues, “It wasn’t until I began working with neurodivergent clients and expanding my knowledge that I began to truly understand the impact that being neurodivergent can have on an individual and business owner and how the skills we have as a business can positively impact their business and wellbeing.” This aligns with the company’s overriding ethos to create an environment where people love to work and get to work flexibly. That ethos is also responsible for the decision to allow its staff to work remotely and measures to maintain a positive work-life balance. Sasha believes that if clients and employees are happy in their careers, they will do an excellent job for their clients and customers. Thus, she and her team have put together everything they can to foster an understanding of how to communicate with people from all walks of life and backgrounds. Because the agency offers virtual support, Sasha saw that the pandemic significantly increased the demand for its virtual services, so it was busier than ever during various lockdowns. Many solo entrepreneurs started new businesses during the period and desperately needed resources to help with day-to-day activities. The Executive Solutions Agency was able to assist busy business owners and CEOs from just five hours a week to full-time PA support, including assistance with order processing, inbox management, call taking and scheduling, and many other essential business management tasks. Recently, Sasha and The Executive Solutions Agency gained well-deserved recognition within the Midlands Enterprise Awards, being named Best Neurodiverse Entrepreneurial Support Provider 2023 for its efforts. The business continues to grow, and its focus for the next 12 months is raising awareness of its work. “Every week, I have conversations with people who aren’t aware that a service like ours exists and I am passionate to promote the support available and change many more lives in the future,” Sasha enthuses. “The company’s laser focus is now on spreading awareness and doing right by both its employees and clients.” Contact Details Contact: Sasha Saville Company: The Executive Solutions Agency Ltd Web Address: www.executivesolutionsagency.com
