Meadowlight was born out of personal heartache.

In 2023 I lost three of my closest family in quick succession and more recently my partner’s brother died in the most difficult circumstances. In all cases I stepped in to ease the pressure from those around me and found myself arranging funerals, pulling together documentation for probate submission to solicitors and cleaning and clearing houses, all with relative ease.  Each case I have been involved with has been vastly different bringing with it unique challenges. I have found I really enjoyed tying up loose ends for people and it seems I’m rather good at it!

With today’s world where many families are spread across the globe this is where Meadowlight comes in. I aim to bridge the gap and get administrative tasks done on your behalf where distance means you are unable to physically be present yourself or indeed just don’t have the time. Additionally, whilst all the legal issues surrounding death and probate are managed by your lawyers there is always a mountain of “in-between tasks” around pulling information together which need to be done; this is where I can help.

With 30+ years in corporate business as an HR Director dealing with people from all walks of life across the world, I have become adept over the years at managing tricky and challenging situations with elegance and grace. I am resourceful, efficient , very capable and  firmly believe there is a solution to everything and no job is too small.  

I work within a 15 mile radius of Aldeburgh. Please get in touch if you think I can help.
