      <image:title>Home - You Run the Business. I Handle the Rest.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Flexible admin, operations, and business development support for small businesses across the UK. No full-time salary. No long-term contract. Just reliable, honest support from someone who actually gets business.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - What founders tell me</image:title>
      <image:caption>"I'm brilliant at what I do - but I'm drowning in running the BUSINESS." "I need to win more clients but I don't have TIME for business development." "My operations are a mess. Nothing's documented. It's all in my head." "I'm wearing too many hats. CEO, salesperson, ops manager, admin assistant..." Sound familiar? That's where NE Support comes in.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - Hi, I’m Louise Edwards.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m a Business Support Specialist based in the North East, helping small business owners focus on what they do best — by taking everything else off their plate. I’ve spent my career in operations, admin, and business development across a range of industries. From being the first hire at a startup to managing director of a national brand, I know what it takes to keep a business running and growing. I set up NE Support because I saw too many talented business owners drowning in admin, missing opportunities, and spending their evenings doing work that someone else could handle. That someone is me.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About - What I Actually Do</image:title>
      <image:caption>You don’t just need someone to tick off tasks. You need someone who gets business — who can look at your operations and say “here’s what’s broken, here’s how we fix it.” Whether it’s sorting your inbox, streamlining your processes, chasing new leads, or just taking the day-to-day off your plate so you can focus on growth — that’s what I do. No jargon, no fluff. Just honest, practical, flexible support that grows with your business.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Portfolio - “Louise has been with me since the start. She was first introduced to me by my accountant as someone good to do my book-keeping when the business was in it's infancy and I was still on site, daily.  As Original Joinery grew, we grew together. Louise’s role didn’t really have a title as she was a blend of book keeper, idea bouncer, PA and one woman accounts department.  Things are a little more rigid now and Louise is very much the essential support to me and Original Joinery that her, now business, provides. .”</image:title>
