About My Special PA
My Special PA was founded in 2009 by Emma de Polnay, formerly a set designer and art director for the Film and TV industry. My Special PA is a business service for creative professionals, run by creative professionals with business and administration skills. We offer freelance, specialist PA and VA services to artists, designers, media professionals and other creative company owners, including business development, supplier liaison and marketing.
Our USP is liberating our clients from the often-overwhelming commercial and administrative demands of their daily business, allowing them to focus on the creative core of their work. Every PA on the team has a creative background and we ensure that we assign the right PA to each client’s requirements to enable a truly tailored support solution.
