Yorkshire virtual assistance firm marks decade with owl conservation

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 27 Oct, 06:08 · Archive

Virtual assistance company Business Owl is sponsoring a barn owl box in Yorkshire to mark its tenth anniversary.

Jen Workman, founder of virtual assistance company Business Owl, is marking her business's tenth anniversary by sponsoring a barn owl box in partnership with local woodland Make it Wild. The initiative aims to provide safe breeding sites for barn owls in the Yorkshire countryside.

The boxes compensate for the loss of traditional nesting sites in old barns, buildings and mature trees through development, renovation and changes in land use. Helen Neave, founding director of Make it Wild, said the organisations are 'confident this box will be occupied soon and will help this iconic species to thrive in this part of Yorkshire'.

Workman launched Business Owl in October 2016, drawing on her legal executive qualifications and experience in high-level administration. She identified a gap in the market for flexible business support that did not require the long-term commitment of hiring an employee. Over the past decade, she has worked with more than 70 businesses, many in the local area. Workman described the sponsorship as a way to connect 'the company's identity and its environmental credentials, including its status as Carbon Literate'.
