Case Study: How Remote Bob helps leadership consultant Phillippa Hurrell deliver higher-quality work and win back time

About Phillippa Hurrell

For almost 20 years, Phillippa Hurrell has coached thousands of leaders and teams across sectors, from the military and major food companies to private-equity-backed businesses and global brands. As a leadership development and strategy consultant, she specialises in

helping organisations get clear on their strategy and story, and in building the leadership capability needed to bring that strategy to life.

Her work blends executive coaching, strategy and alignment workshops, and mindset-focused development to unlock confidence, clarity, and higher performance. Whether she's coaching a CEO or aligning a senior team, her approach makes leadership simpler and clearer — so people can focus, act, and deliver for the business.

The challenge

Running a consultancy means the work doesn't stop at client delivery. Before partnering with Remote Bob, Phillippa found herself absorbing the full weight of business operations alongside her client work, writing proposals, developing toolkits, building slide packs, and producing content. With only so many hours in the day, doing everything alone left little room to focus on what she does best.

How Remote Bob stepped in

Remote Bob provided Phillippa with dedicated design, content, and operational support, taking on the production work that was eating into her time. Key areas of support included:

• Proposals & Document Creation: Producing polished, professional proposals that reflect the quality of Phillippa's thinking and set the right tone with prospective clients.

  
  

• Slide Pack Design: Building presentation materials that are visually compelling, well-structured, and client-ready.

  
  

• Leadership Toolkits & Learning Resources: Developing the practical tools and materials Phillippa delivers as part of her leadership and strategy programmes.

  
  

• Branding Consistency & Content Refinement: Ensuring all materials are visually cohesive and that written content is sharp, on-brand, and ready to use.

  
  

• Administrative & Operational Support: Handling a range of behind-the-scenes tasks to keep the business running smoothly.

  
  

The Result

The impact was felt in two clear ways, the quality of output went up, and Phillippa got her time back.

Better quality: The look and feel of deliverables improved significantly, strengthening Phillippa's professional image with clients.

More strategic headspace: With production work off her plate, Phillippa gained the mental space to focus on adding greater value to her clients and growing her business.

A reliable, proactive team: Remote Bob team consistently goes above and beyond, finding solutions when extra work arises and always getting things done.

As Phillippa puts it: "Working with the team is phenomenal. Ianette, who does the design for me, could not be more positive or proactive. Everything I ask, they do. The Remote Bob team are brilliant at making sure that if there is extra work that needs doing, they will always find a way to do it. I couldn’t recommend them more."
