What it looks like in practice

A sample week with your assistant.

Every brief differs — this is the shape most part-time engagements settle into within the first month.

Monday

Inbox zeroed, week planned

Weekend email triaged, diary confirmed, priorities agreed with you in a 15-minute check-in.

Tuesday

Chasing & coordination

Suppliers called, follow-ups sent, that invoice queried — the Nigeria to-do list actually moves.

Wednesday

Project block

Research, data collection or document drafting on whatever you're building this month.

Thursday

Meetings supported

Calls scheduled across time zones, minutes taken, actions logged and assigned.

Friday

Weekly report

What was done, what's pending, what needs your decision — in your inbox before your weekend.

The quality bar

Hand-picked people. A company standing behind them.

SELECTIONRigorous by design

Every assistant is university educated and hand-picked to suit each client after a rigorous interview process — matched to your industry and working style, not assigned from a queue.

TRAININGIn-house, ongoing

Assistants are trained in-house and supported continuously by senior management — your person improves month on month because someone's job is making sure they do.

SUPERVISIONA team leader in the loop

You direct the work; a Wigmore team leader manages the person — quality checks, cover when they're away, and a named escalation point when something needs saying.

FLEXIBILITYSwap or stop, monthly

Wrong fit? We rebrief or swap at no cost, usually within days. Priorities changed? Scale between part-time and full-time, or stop at month's end. The risk stays on our side.

Before you subscribe

The questions everyone asks.

Can my assistant work my time zone?
Lagos runs on WAT — one hour ahead of London, six ahead of New York — which makes overlap with Europe trivial and a solid working morning shared with the US East Coast. Your hours pattern (20 or 35 per week) is arranged around your day at the introduction call, not imposed on it.
Which tools will they use?
Yours. Assistants work inside your stack — Gmail or Outlook, Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, Slack, WhatsApp, your CRM — with access you control and can revoke. If you don't have a stack yet, we'll recommend a simple one at onboarding.
What about confidentiality?
Confidentiality obligations are built into every engagement and into your assistant's employment with us, and can be supplemented with your own NDA — most clients have us sign one at kickoff. Access is granted role-by-role, and supervision means someone senior is accountable for how it's used.
Part-time or full-time — how do I choose?
Start part-time unless you already know the workload: 20 hours a week clears most founders' admin with room to spare, and upgrading to full-time is a one-line request that takes effect from your next cycle. Downgrading works the same way. The wrong answer costs you a month, not a severance package.
What happens if my assistant is unavailable or leaves?
Cover is our problem, not yours — that's the point of hiring a managed role rather than an individual. Planned absences are covered by the team; if your assistant moves on, we hand over to a replacement with your brief, your preferences and your context documented, at no cost and no gap you'll feel.
Your right hand awaits
