ABOUT

 Hello! I’m Helen Pugh, the founder of Helen Pugh – Business Solutions and Ablepreneurs™ based in Shropshire.

Over three decades, I’ve forged my path through customer-facing roles in estate agency, insurance, and financial services, building expertise in organisation, communication, and problem solving that lives on in the support services I offer today.

After being forced from the traditional workplace  due to chronic health conditions, I transformed the adversity into opportunity,  launching FlexAssist and ultimately Helen Pugh – Business Solutions. 

Today, I provide business solutions for small businesses and entrepreneurs to lighten their day‑to‑day workload through reliable remote business support, so they can focus on growth, clients, or simply catch their breath. 

Proud to be a Theo Paphitis #SBS Official Winner recognised for outstanding service and a strong commitment to supporting small businesses.

My own experience with Ehlers‑Danlos Syndrome and related chronic conditions reshaped my understanding of work, resilience, and what flexibility truly looks like.

Traditional workplaces often don’t accommodate hidden disabilities or fluctuating health and I found that deeply limiting.

So I created a business model that works with life’s unpredictability: flexible hours, remote delivery, high standards and real empathy.

 I wanted not just to survive, but to thrive on my own terms and I wanted to rewrite the narrative, and help others do the same, by way of Ablepreneurs™ 

Ablepreneurs™ is more than a service, it’s a social impact movement. It connects small businesses with talented professionals who manage chronic illness or disability. My mission is simple:

• To unlock untapped potential by pairing businesses in need of dependable support with individuals seeking meaningful, flexible work.
   
• To build a community that values ability, authenticity, and accessibility.
   
• To redefine inclusive entrepreneurship by celebrating diverse ways of working .
   

Launched locally in Shropshire, Ablepreneurs™ has already gained traction with community organisations and leaders in this space.
