I’m Clare, the founder and director of UK Ducks In A Row Ltd.
Before I launched my virtual assistance business during the global pandemic I knew that there were opportunities in the virtual world. However, I totally underestimated just how much demand there would be for these types of services.
In 2020 I set up Clare Lucas Real Business Solutions, offering virtual assistance to business owners. Within a year I was working at full capacity and quickly realised that I needed to grow a team. So I did. I’ve grown a team of amazingly talented individuals whose skill sets complement mine.
Clare Lucas Real Business Solutions morphed into much more than a traditional virtual assistance business that many think of as, well, admin. I’ve been able to utilise my project, business, and event management skills and now run a monthly membership for start ups.
We now don’t work solely with businesses. We work with businesses, charities, CIC’s and film productions.
The business organically evolved and after strategy and planning sessions UK Ducks In A Row was born.
Why Ducks In A Row?
Because we help you get your ducks in a row no matter what organisation you work for. We help get processes, procedures, and admin streamlined. We get your ducks in a row to make planning, projects, and events run smoothly.
My business has been through a period of rapid growth which is why I and the team are so well-equipped to assist and support businesses with their growth. It&apos;s this reason that The Productivity Club was born.
We are outsourcing specialists for all of your projects, events, business, and administration needs. We call upon excellent partners in our network for service areas we don’t offer in-house. If you are looking for a videographer, photographer, digital expert, outsourced HR specialist, business finance, or something else, we’ve got you covered.
<h4>We make outsourcing easy.</h4>

FINANCE  OPERATIONS

Hertfordshire small business networking group

Hello, I am passionate about building businesses and have been running my own for over 40 years. I started my first enterprise whilst at school operating a successful window cleaning round during the holidays. 

I then spent 20 years building a very successful transport business, which I also started from scratch. 

I set up my consultancy business in 2001 after selling my company and have since helped many small and medium sized businesses grow and develop and would love to help you do the same

Are you keen to see your cutting-edge tech ideas come to life? You&apos;re in the right place!
Hey there! I’m Mardien, the Founder of Today Consultancy Ltd.
I founded this consultancy because I noticed something troubling: many businesses struggle to bring their digital and data products to market successfully. They often lack the specific expertise or resources needed, and hiring full-time isn&apos;t always the solution.
That’s where Today Consultancy Ltd steps in. 
With nearly two decades in market research and over 12 years specializing in digital solutions, apps, and data products, I&apos;ve learned how to turn ideas into reality. My dedication to industry standards is evident in my contributions to initiatives like the Market Research Society’s Data Quality program.

We specialise in guiding businesses through the process of building commercially successful digital and data products.

Imagine a future where your company’s digital products aren’t just surviving, but thriving.
Did you know that a staggering 95% of new digital products launched each year fail? Why?
Because they lack a clear strategy and direction. To avoid becoming part of that statistic, you need:
- A solid product strategy aligned with your company&apos;s goals.
- A roadmap that incorporates feedback from your team and customers.
- A digital product that keeps customers coming back for more.
- A plan to create an environment where your product can grow.
- A strategy to maximize your assets, whether it&apos;s data or technology tools, for increased efficiency and revenue.
Stop worrying about the direction of your product. Let us guide you from idea to revenue.
Let’s work together to bring your innovative ideas to life, starting Today.
