Our profession
The Profession
Professional Organising in the UK is a relatively young but growing business sector. With more demands made on everyone’s time in today’s society, people often struggle to manage their daily tasks, let alone deal with any build-up of items and the ensuing confusion and chaos this can bring.
Awareness of the wide range of professional services on offer has increased, particularly through the formation of the APDO, as a point of contact for both Organisers and the general public. In a country where service industries sometimes struggle, the APDO has built a reputable industry where clients increasingly recognise the value of employing someone to help organise different aspects of their lives.
Professional Organisers
Organisers aim to add to the quality of clients’ lives, by providing both structure and balance, and by maximizing the resources available to them.
Their backgrounds are varied, including Businesses and Personnel Management; Life Coaching; Corporate Administration; and Office and IT Systems Management. Others bring life-skills having managed and run busy households, or worked in customer-focussed outlets.
Some come to Organising as a career change, others as a first step into the world of running their own business. All abide by our Code of Ethics and endeavour to provide a professional service that shows a high degree of responsibility and understanding of client’s requirements in managing their affairs.
