COMING SOON TO SCUNTHORPE.
What started as a home-based business has quickly outgrown itself. It would be contradictory to sit at home, phone ringing constantly, missing people, missing opportunities, knowing that my business lives and dies with real-life connection.
Truly great opportunities are few and far between, so when I was given the chance to be in the middle of what my clients are living and breathing, I jumped at it. Ask Eves is joining a collective of independent businesses at The Old Builder's Yard in Scunthorpe. The idea is simple. Bring businesses from construction, trades and associated industries together under one roof, each operating independently but with the opportunity to share knowledge, build relationships and work more closely together.
For Ask Eves, it means a permanent base surrounded by the very businesses I've spent the last two years getting to know. Somewhere to meet clients, get involved in the day-to-day conversations and be part of the opportunities that don't always come with a calendar invitation. Since launching in 2024, Ask Eves has grown through exactly this kind of involvement, providing practical operational and digital support to construction and trade-led SMEs.
Setup
You’ve bought the domain, emails are all over the place and nobody quite knows where anything lives. I’ll set up the Workspace, organise the shared drives, connect what needs connecting and leave you with something the team can actually use.
Position
Your business has grown, but what customers see has not caught up. I’ll work through the website, messaging, Google presence and client-facing materials so everything reflects the business you are now.
Streamline
A tender needs submitting, a print run needs doing, and a process currently lives entirely in somebody’s head. I’ll pick up the moving parts, coordinate the right people and put a clear way of working in place.
A DIFFERENT WAY OF DOING BUSINESS.
Ask Eves was built on the idea that there had to be a better way of working. Less time spent talking about getting things done, fewer unnecessary meetings and more focus on getting the task at hand complete.
After years in marketing, communications and business operations, I'd seen how much time and money could disappear into layers of management and box-ticking exercises that didn't really help anybody.
I wanted to offer businesses the experience and capability of having someone genuinely involved, without having to create another full-time position. Someone who could understand the bigger picture, get to know the people involved and get stuck into whatever needed doing.
Today, Ask Eves works directly alongside business owners and their teams, providing flexible, embedded support across operations, project coordination, systems, processes and digital infrastructure, shaped around what each business truly needs.

AND THE FACE BEHIND THE NAME.
Hi, I'm Evie, but people call me Eves 👋🏼
I'm somebody who has always been interested in the bigger picture.
How businesses operate, what makes them successful, the people behind them, and why some things seem to be made ten times more complicated than they need to be.
I like being involved, understanding what's going on and having the freedom to use my experience and initiative rather than being confined to a particular role.
I'm not afraid to ask difficult questions, challenge the way things have always been done or admit when there's something I don't know.
I work best with people who trust me to get on with things, value a straightforward conversation and don't mind a bit of personality along the way.
I take my work seriously, but I've never understood why being professional should mean being boring. Think you're my kind of people? Connect with me on Linkedin.
