What our Clients Say
I had the privilege of working alongside Aimme during her time as Office Manager at WRNZ Commercial Ltd, where I serve as General Manager.
Aimme is an exceptional operator. She is thorough, highly self-sufficient, and consistently proactive in the way she approaches her role. She doesn’t simply complete tasks – she takes ownership of them. Whether large-scale operational responsibilities or the smallest administrative details, Aimme handled every task with commitment, precision, and pride.
What sets Aimme apart is her innovative mindset. She continually brought fresh ideas to the table, always looking for ways to improve systems, promote growth, and strengthen the business. Her initiative and forward-thinking approach added genuine value to our company.
Beyond her capability, Aimme brought something far more powerful – her character. She leads with positivity, optimism, and a calm presence, even in high-pressure situations. Her uplifting nature fostered strong culture, unity, and camaraderie within our team. That kind of influence is rare and invaluable in any organization.
I have no hesitation in recommending Aimme. Any business working with her will quickly recognize the strength, determination, and professionalism she brings.
We’ve had the pleasure of working with Second Desk and the impact it has had on Maddocks Marine has been exceptional. From day one, Aimme brought clarity, structure, and momentum to our operations. She has a rare ability to quickly assess where a business is, identify inefficiencies, and implement practical systems that actually work in the real world. In an industry like Marine Services, where moving parts, timelines, suppliers, and clients all intersect, her operational leadership has been invaluable. What sets Aimme apart is her genuine care and desire to help. As a small business owner, I also have to say her services are genuinely affordable and accessible. You don’t need to be a large corporation to benefit from high-level operational strategy. Aimme makes it possible for businesses like mine to get thes tructure and support we need without stretching the budget, she has been a true asset to Maddocks Marine.
Commercial Fishing demands efficiency and the ability to adapt quickly to changing conditions. Aimme’s genuine desire to help and attention to detail have made a significant impact on how smoothly Kellian Fishing functioned. With her help, she allowed us to focus on running our vessel and delivering results on the water. Aimme is proactive, trustworthy, and dedicated. We value the support and would confidently recommend Second Desk to any business seeking reliable and capable operational assistance.
I have known Aimme both in a personal and professional capacity for many years. Personally I can vouch for her kind caring nature. She is very self-aware and has great capacity for compassion. Professionally she is hardworking, flexible and very capable of delivering positive outcomes to clients. Second desk would be a great tool for companies to utilise to help streamline and alleviate stress.
Honestly, like most tradies, I just had everything in my head. No real systems, just memory and hard work. Aimme got that straight away. She didn’t make it complicated or use difficult language, she explained things in a way that I actually understood. Simple and practical and you can tell she genuinely cares. Now my business feels clearer and more under control, and my head’s a lot less busy because of it. I’d happily recommend Second Desk to any tradie who knows they need help but doesn’t know where to start.
