About Ivory & Ink

Get to know Gemma a little better....

I love reading in a cosy coffee shop – Give me a good book, a quiet corner, and a slice of cake, and I’m in my happy place. It’s my little escape from the busyness of everyday life!

I’m happiest when exploring with my family – Whether it’s a day out in Dorset, a seaside walk, or a cosy film night, I love making memories with the people who matter most.

I’m a crafting queen – I love crochet and cross-stitch, but I’m always excited to learn something new—there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a project come to life.

Ivory & Ink is more than just a business to me—it’s about helping others regain their time and reduce stress, allowing you to focus on what matters most.

Why Work With Me?

• I bring order to chaos. Whether it’s sorting a messy inbox, planning an event, or managing wedding logistics, I love bringing structure and making life easier for my clients.

• I’m your reliable right-hand person. Think of me as the calm in the storm, keeping everything on track so you can focus on what truly matters.

• Over a decade of experience. With a background in hospitality, admin, event planning, and not-for-profit work, I know how to handle both the big picture and the small details. From coordinating large-scale events to streamlining charity operations, I bring a practical, problem-solving approach to every project.

• I make things feel easy. Working together should be stress-free, not another task on your to-do list. I genuinely care about my clients and love helping them feel more in control.

• I can adapt with you. Every client is different, and I shape my support around what you need—whether it’s virtual assistance, event planning, or wedding coordination. As your needs evolve, so will my approach.

• I care about making a difference. Alongside my client work, I support not-for-profit organisations by streamlining processes, securing funding, and helping them achieve their goals. Giving back is important to me, and I bring that same dedication to every project.

• I focus on people, not just tasks. Whether you're running a business, planning a wedding, or hosting an event, I take the time to understand what’s important to you so I can offer support that genuinely makes a difference.

I was nervous about handing over plans to someone else, however knew I just couldn’t do it all. My worries faded as soon as I met Gemma, warm, bubbly and friendly, I knew she was the one who could save me.
She has a wonderful way of making your dreams become reality, a true fairy godmother. I cannot thank or recommend Gemma enough.

I'm a self employed hairdresser and I find keeping up with my paperwork such a chore and always ignore the pile of paperwork that needs to be done!
But then Gemma came to my rescue and now keeps my bookwork shipshape and up to date!
I cannot be more thankful to her she works wonders.
Thank you Gemma you're a god send to me,
I can now just concentrate on my work without the added stress of paperwork. X 😊
