The business landscape is evolving. Outsourcing services will help your business flourish.

About

Hi, I’m Clare. Wife, mother of two and a business woman! I am here to help you and your business grow by working flexibly around ever-changing business landscapes. 


We have all felt the impact of the global pandemic and no industry or service has managed to escape without being affected in some way or another. However not all changes have been negative. I for one have taken the bull by the horns and have thrown myself into passionately creating and building the Clare Lucas brand and I feel that there are exciting times ahead!


As a society we now know that much of our day to day work can be done remotely and therefore I am here to help you save on your employment overheads on financials such as holiday and sick pay whilst providing you with a flexible, responsive and first-class service. 


I am not just an order taker. I will listen carefully to your requirements and turn your actions and aspirations into deliverables with tangible results. 


Over the past few months I have been working with a variety of clients. I have re-designed a website, created bespoke business policies, written and managed a social media campaign, redesigned some CV's, carried out some 'mystery shopping competitor analysis' producing a report for the client and I have also been working as a project support analyst producing process maps and helping to 'speed up' a project in the world of banking. I really do have a diverse and experienced skill set so if there is anything you think your business may benefit from, then please do get in touch.

Services

Having worked in a variety of roles and for various different organisations over the years I can help your business in many ways. You may need some extra support to manage your business following the global pandemic. You may have had to let some or all of your team go, however you still have tasks that need to be completed. You may be a new start up business and need some guidance, or you have seen your business grow a little bigger and you now need some help with tasks to free up and manage your time better. Now could be the right time to delegate!


If you need support, guidance or help getting organised for a few hours a week or a month, please get in touch as I would love to talk to you and find you a solution.


Whether it's day to day administration, organising your diary, preparing agendas and taking minutes I can assist.


I am also able to offer competitor analysis, mystery shopping and the creation of questionnaires.


I love to get creative and design! It could be presentations, newsletters, posters or mailings. I can also help you with your social media campaigns. If you are a small business on a budget I can even create a website for you, I have loved creating mine!


In terms of events management I can offer the organisation of virtual events, and hopefully very soon I can help you organise actual events when we can all get together again. I have organised hundreds of events throughout my career both small and large scale.


If you are looking at the list above thinking 'I need some help' please contact me for an initial consultation and we can talk through what solutions I can provide for your business.

How can I help you?

Get back to doing what you do best!


Let me use my skills and expertise to take care of your admin, creative design and content and oversee your projects and events. You can then focus on your business dreams and get back to doing what makes your heart sing with the reassurance that you are projecting your business forward to grow.


My career has been diverse over the past twenty years. I started out in 2000 working for five years as a travel consultant, making both leisure and business travel bookings. 


Five years later I became an ‘on the road’ Sales Executive for a hotel wholesaler and spent my time marketing the product, increasing sales and conducting training with travel agents. 


Following this along came my son and so I needed more flexibility and began working in the public sector where I spent eight years climbing the corporate ladder with various roles including working as an Executive Assistant, Project Coordinator and a Communications Officer.

In 2017 I went back to my travel roots where I worked as a Senior Manager for a coach company with responsibility for contracts, sales and marketing and managing a large team.

After re-evaluating my working life and wanting to be more flexible with my working hours over a full seven days of the week CLRBS was born. I wanted my passion and commitment to work with small businesses to shine through. Being flexible means that if I work all day Sunday my clients have updated project plans or completed work in their inboxes when they log on first thing on a Monday morning. 


I also work a couple of days a week as both a School Bursar and Parish Clerk. The rest of the week I am involved in a variety of projects with various clients and businesses. Could your business be the next one that I work with?

If you need business support and solutions I am here for you. Full of passion, determination and drive to help you and your business fulfil YOUR dreams and ambitions. 


Me in a nutshell? I am creative and passionate and take pride in offering a tailored and personalised service for my clients. Can I help you? Let’s talk?  

Kind words from clients like you

Sometimes when we’re busy working for other people, the jobs on our own To-Do list just never seem to get done! So I asked Clare to help me with some of mine – and she made it all so easy I wish I’d asked her earlier.  She gave my website an overhaul in days – she put together a load of design options to help me decide what worked for me, edited the copy and brought it to life!  Clare worked flexibly around my capacity and moved things along at a pace that worked for me but also got the job done.  Feels so good to be able to tick that off the list – and the end result was much better than I could have done myself.  Definitely worth asking for help with those jobs that just aren’t getting done – much more cost effective too!

I have been trying to arrange professional competitor analysis for my business for over 3 years now without success. 

Thankfully I met Clare at a local networking event! 

I asked her for competitor analysis to be carried out for 2 different products with 3 local competitors.  

Clare was professional and updated me on the progress during the time frame. The final document was comprehensive and informative.  

A final zoom call to go through feedback and recommendations
completed the package.  

I can highly recommend Clare and this service and I will be using it on a regular basis to improve my business.

I worked with Clare for several years, producing a joint programme of European coach holidays which she sold for Galloway Coach Travel in Suffolk and I sold for Woods Travel in West Sussex.
Clare was a pleasure to collaborate with: methodical, imaginative with the content, and always ahead of deadlines.
Anyone looking for assistance with a project, or for someone to take on the task in its entirety would benefit hugely from her experience and work ethic, and I look forward to working with Clare again soon.
