Our story
From the get-go, we’ve been inspired to make a difference.
Manton Executives started small. Founder, Luke, was diagnosed with adult-onset Tourette’s syndrome in 2018. That made it tricky to find a job. Anywhere.
So, he employed himself. Luke began offering his expertise to friends’ companies. As word of mouth spread, other businesses reached out - and the rest is history. Manton Executives became a fully-fledged business in 2019.
Before too long, the waiting list became over 3 months. We pride ourselves on efficiency, so it was clear that the business had to expand. Since then, we’ve taken on more clients and grown our team - each member vetted and trained by Luke himself.
Say “hello”!
Meet the team
Siri and Alexa are all fun and games until you have to ask your device what the best shade of pink is. That’s where we come in.
Luke
Founder
👋 Hi! I’m Luke, the Founder of Manton Executives.
Since 2020 I've been spicing up the business support landscape with my team of skilled VAs by my side.
Despite owning a successful business, I’m still in the office on the front lines - and there’s nowhere I’d rather be! Mon-Fri I’m making sure my clients’ lives run smoothly, doing shedloads of admin for them and keeping my perfectly manicured finger firmly on the pulse.
You’ll always find me serving my clients, serving my team and serving absolute looks.
(And whistling. I have Tourette’s.)
Looking forward to getting to know you!
Katie
Director
I’m Katie - a lively and bubbly spirit in the office.
Most days I'm managing social media accounts, creating eye-catching marketing campaigns and helping my clients make sense of their day.
(And pole dancing on a hat stand, while trying to fit as many marshmallows as possible in my mouth. But we won’t talk about that.)
Let's talk about what I can do for you, instead.
From December, I’m off work taking care of a tiny human - but I’ve left all my work in Anna’s capable hands!
Jane
Client account manager
I’m a self-confessed organisational goddess. I dive right into sorting through emails, shopping for Christmas presents and if anyone is going to remind you that you need to iron your trousers ahead of that big meeting tomorrow... It's me!
It’s conclusive: I’ve got a bunch of tricks up my sleeve and I'm not afraid to use them.
My favourite thing to do is balance a calendar. Call me crazy, but it is definitely my special skill... I also love cooking, hitting the gym and walks with my staffy, Lola.
Jodie Seabrook
Meet our very own globetrotting, everything-in-its-place, fix-anything guru, Jodie!
Whether it's bleeding radiators, coordinating your kitchen renovation, organising your dream vacation, or just a well-needed pep talk - I've got your back.
I used to plan weddings. You don't spend that many years being responsible for the biggest and most important day of someone's life without picking up a thing or two about organisation (and stress management)!
With me around, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. If you need something done, I'll find a way to make it happen.
When I'm not peeling my clients off the ceiling, you'll find me up at the crack of dawn, strolling under the sunrise with my trusty canine sidekick, Ralph.
Oh, and I take my role as ‘office dad’ very seriously. Bob the builder has nothing on me.
Amy
Copywriter queen
As an obnoxious 6-year-old, I used to regularly get up from my chair to edit other people's work and correct their spelling. I've gotten better at it since, and (hopefully) more tactful in my approach.
Bringing virtual vibes from my home office, I'm a copywriter who lives and breathes autobiographical storytelling.
With 2 drama degrees under my belt and a specialism in autobiographical theatre, taking real-life stories and turning them into bitesize, enjoyable nuggets is my whooole jam.
I'll make your content sound like you. But better.
Anna Underwood
Social Media Exec & Virtual PA
​
Hey! I'm Anna.
As a child, my idea of fun was tidying and organising my friends' bedrooms....
So needless to say, I love sorting other people's lives out! I also can't stand misaligned graphics. (A little to the left!!) I honestly consider revamping someone else's Instagram page self-care.
As a photography graduate, aesthetically pleasing visuals are my whole vibe.
I'd love to help you get your socials in order and I'll even clear your to-do list for you.
Holly
Social Media Exec & Virtual PA
​
There isn’t much competition to be the quietest person in our office… But Holly really would be the crown champion of the quiet game if we ever even attempted to play.
​
She once didn’t yell out at bingo even though she literally had won?? Girl.
​
When she IS having a natter, it just so happens that she is absolutely hilarious and one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet, not to mention a cracking VA and social media exec.

Billy
Say hey to our apprentice - Billy!
​
It’s really exciting having someone in the office learning about the world of work in a super-practical way.
​
Lowkey, is there anywhere that would be better to get a taste of what kind of job you’d like to do?
​
Yeah, we do admin and marketing, but we also do processes, systems, ops, design, copy, social media strategy, the odd bit of tech troubleshooting, client management, business planning…
​
And we work with clients across so many different industries, there’s so many opportunities to see what’s swimming around out there in the big ol’ corporate world.
​
He’s literally getting to see the inner workings of all the businesses we work with.
​
Seriously, the learning curve is steep, but Billy is scaling it - NO ROPES!
Rocco
Food and Beverage Manager
A handsome man indeed, Rocco is all about the chill vibes. Whether it’s a sirloin steak or a cherry chapstick, he’s always happy to tuck into some quality grub.
Special skills: Rocco can eat approximately 17x his body weight (in a single sitting). He can also sleep standing up, and he invented the glue on Postit notes.
Dislikes: Exercise. Wild swimming. Empty food bowls. And the term "circle back".
Rio
Head of Security
It’s Rio’s world. We’re all just living in it.
Rio’s a tiny queen (and a bit of a Karen, depending on what mood she’s in).
Special skills: Rio only weighs 1.4kg, but can take down an average male in under 4 seconds. She can run at the speed of light, and she can plank for 3 days straight.
Dislikes: computers, paperwork, and people. Oh, and crocs.
