Q: Why eavolve® rather than a general corporate training provider?

Because we are the only corporate training provider for EA and PA teams built by people who have actually managed EA functions at scale. Our Managing Director and Creator Emily Partridge managed 60 EAs globally and supported CEO offices in FTSE 100 organisations. eavolve® was built from within Lily Shippen, a specialist EA and PA recruitment business with over a decade placing EAs at board level. We understand the EA and PA role with a depth that generalist training providers simply cannot match.

Q: Can the training be delivered in-house at our offices?

Yes. Our team training days can be delivered in-house at your offices, at an external venue, or online depending on your preference and your team’s setup. We are based in Manchester but work with organisations across the UK and internationally. All logistics are confirmed well in advance so the day runs smoothly for your team.

Q: How do we measure the return on investment from EA team training?

The ROI from investing in your EA and PA team shows up in several measurable ways: leaders regain time as EAs become more proactive and strategic; friction reduces as EAs communicate more confidently upwards; EA retention improves as team members feel genuinely invested in; and the overall quality of executive support across the organisation rises. We are happy to discuss what success looks like for your organisation on the Discovery Call. For reference, our Retainer Programme starts at £250 per hour + VAT on a minimum of two hours per month, which is often less than the cost of a single ad-hoc course per team member.
