About our team

"I quit."
The words hung in the air of the timber yard as I turned and walked away from the security of employment.
With no plan and no safety net, I found myself standing in the car park, wondering if I'd just made the biggest mistake of my life.
But as panic set in, so did a strange sense of exhilaration. For the first time ever, I felt truly alive.

Dedicated Assistant to support you
Hey, I'm Joshua.
I’m the founder of Zellor Management, a virtual assistant agency for startups. But my journey began far from the startup space.
From an early age, I knew conventional paths weren't for me. University never resonated – I couldn’t stand the idea of learning within a fixed framework. It felt restrictive and my mind has never worked that way. I’ve always needed the freedom to think and solve problems on my own terms.
Instead, I chose to study fine furniture making in Devon. The craftsmanship satisfied my need to create and I eventually ended up in Cornwall managing projects and a small team in the timber industry.
It was a good job, but something was missing. I still felt confined by the structure of employment which left little room for the freedom and growth I craved.
As I worked alongside carpenters, boat builders and other tradespeople running small businesses, I noticed a pattern. These talented entrepreneurs were brilliant at their craft, but spoke often about their frustrations with mundane business tasks – the endless paperwork and processes constantly getting in their way.
They reminded me of my dad, a small business owner who often came home stressed and strained from similar admin headaches.
They reminded me of…me. A creative spirit feeling constrained by rigid structures that were limiting my potential.
And that's when it hit me – I could relate to these entrepreneurs because, deep down, I was one.
Fuelled by this realisation, I took a risk. I broke away from employment to create something that aligned with who I really am.
And so, in 2022, Zellor Management was born.
Our Values
Freedom
We believe when you’re free to innovate on your own terms, and without barriers, you can change the world.
Empathy
We understand your unique challenges as a startup and tailor our support to your specific needs.
Innovation
We continuously seek new and better ways to support you, embracing the dynamic nature of the startup space.

We provide honest, reliable support without adding unnecessary complications, so you can achieve your goals faster.
Taking my years of administration and half a decade in project management and managerial experience, I set up Zellor Management to support entrepreneurs with their business success. I'll be your point of contact as Team Manager.
"There is nothing I love more than seeing a positive transformation in you and your business as you finally receive the tailored support you deserve, and need."
In my spare time if I'm not at my desk, I'm playing golf or exploring a new country and curating a life of wellness. I can chew your ear off for hours if you speak to me about woodworking or personal development!

Individually, we bring a blend of administrative expertise and free-spirited energy to every project.
Together, we’re Zellor Management. Our knight-like name reflects our commitment to reliability and dedication – essential qualities in the often turbulent startup landscape.

Hello, I’m Jo! When I’m not organising inboxes and diaries or teaching small humans, I’m probably in a wetsuit! I love being outdoors and spend most of my free time wild swimming, surfing, gardening or reading in a hammock. Most days, I run on a mix of coffee, laughter and an Arctic Monkeys playlist.
Being a champion of neurodiversity is a huge part of my life; I have over a decade of experience teaching, I'm highly adaptable to any task, supporting and learning from this community (and can happily talk about this for hours)!
Hey, I'm Ollie! I’m here to guide you through the early days of business growth, development, and future planning.
Having previously been a business owner myself I know how difficult and stressful it can be to navigate through this journey.
I attended the University of Huddersfield, gained a degree in Entrepreneurship and Business, all while running my own businesses. I've had the amazing opportunity of working with many esteemed business advisors at the university’s 3M Buckley innovation centre and consulted on many businesses. Alongside this I also gave lectures and tutoring to other students wanting to explore the world of business.
Innovate without limits
As someone who thrives on creative freedom, I understand the frustration of being pulled away from your passion by routine administrative work. That’s why I founded Zellor Management – to remove those barriers for founders like you, so you can focus on the ideas that inspired you to start your venture.
We believe when founders are free to innovate without limits, they can change the world. And that’s our vision for the future: to support the dreamers and doers who are shaping tomorrow.
