Our Mission
Our mission is to support brilliant business owners, busy professionals, and small business teams, with Digital Marketing and Business Admin Support.
Based in the South West and working with clients across the UK, we bring together over 30 years of combined experience in sales and marketing, executive support and business administration.
Whether you’re a local independent business that wants to show up on social media, or through other digital marketing channels with confidence.
Or a busy professional who needs a trusted pair of hands behind the scenes, we’re the people who quietly make it happen in the background.
Our team helps to you to get to the things that actually matter, and to offload the tasks that need doing but not, necessarily, by you.
We love helping you so that you get the time, in business or in life, to do the things that you love.
Life is short – we empower, and enable you to use your time wisely.
Our Story
Hi, I'm Melissa,
the founder of Bee Time Clever.
I started Bee Time Clever because I wanted to help local businesses with their marketing and business admin support, whilst driving my own narrative.
I created a hybrid role that combined all of my career experience so far, drawing on my sales and marketing expertise, and corporate work as an Executive Assistant and Sales & Marketing Account Manager.
My career has spanned 30 years and I have worked in many different areas of business:
Sales & marketing, production & stock control, account management, project & event management, purchasing and accounts.
The name of the business is derived from two things, my name means honey bee in Greek.
And, yep, I’ve received a lot of bee gifts from friends and family, over the years.
However, and most importantly, it’s also a call to action to our clients to use their time wisely.
We enjoy supporting local businesses, and busy individuals, with a mix of face to face and remote working.
We also help businesses, remotely, throughout the UK.
Fast forward four years – we have grown to a team of three, and have helped clients from 22 different business sectors.
From ongoing clients and one off projects, our customer base has included:
Cafes and restaurants, accountants, investors, coaches, financial advisers, builders, window cleaners, physiotherapists, producers and actors, marketing agencies, HR professionals…. even Olympians/Para-Olympians and a national rowing organisation.
We are proud to enable others to do the things that they love, by taking away some of the things that they have no appetite for, but know need doing.
Meet the team
Melissa
Content Creator & Certified Social Media Manager
“I’m a content creator, a certified Social Media Manager and have a diploma in Digital Marketing.
With a rare mix of being both creative and organised, I enjoy helping clients with social media management, website updates, videography and editing, creating leaflets, email marketing and newsletters.
Before running my own business, I worked as an Executive Assistant and, prior to that, as a Sales and Marketing Account Manager.
I love making connections and run a local business networking event, once a month.
In my spare time, music and upcycling furniture is what I love. I am one of the lead singers in a band, write songs, and I’m learning to play the ukulele and piano.”
Lisa
Director
& Project Manager
“I have been an assistant and project manager for over 15 years, and have worked with a wide variety of clients.
Bookkeeping is where it all began, and over the years I have gained knowledge and experience in many aspects of peoples businesses, and personal lives.
I enjoy Project Management and Life Management, and I am always keen to learn, grow and gain new experience.
No issue is too big to overcome, and I keep going until there is a satisfactory solution and a problem is solved.
Music is my passion, and achieving my lifelong dream of becoming a DJ, and regularly playing in Ibiza still feels incredible.”
Paradise
Executive
Assistant
“Most of what I do is behind the scenes, keeping things organised, handling travel and logistics, managing inboxes and calendars, and helping things run smoothly in fast-moving environments.
I genuinely enjoy problem solving, staying organised and making life easier for the people that I work with.
A big part of my approach is adapting to how different people like to work and communicate, especially in busy or high-pressure environments, where having the right support makes a real difference.
Outside of work, I spend my time with my French Bulldog, Philippe, whose favourite hobby is finding the highest spot in the room so that he can look down on everyone.”
