Bluebird Support Services

What Bluebird Support Services does

Bluebird Support Services Limited is a UK-based private company (company number 10219923) founded in 2016 and headquartered in Wallasey, operating as a wholly digital outsourced secretarial and typing services provider. The company targets three verticals — legal (primary), property, and financial — and serves small and mid-market UK professional services firms with a suite of four core services: Document Fix & Format (word processing and document remediation at £40 per hour), Digital Dictation Transcription (pay-per-minute at £1.55 single-voice / £2.50 multi-voice), Outsource e-Bundling (HMCTS-compliant electronic court bundles from £85 per bundle), and Your House Style (custom template design). Add-on services include Zoom meeting transcription, Remote PA Services, and an Online Learning platform (partnered with Novum Learning) covering Microsoft Word training.

The technology stack is built on Microsoft 365 with Microsoft Teams as the operational hub, extended through integrations with Speechwrite 360 (cloud digital dictation), Zylpha (electronic bundling), Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, Zoom, and WeTransfer/Dropbox for file transfer. All work is performed by UK-based, home-working PAs and document specialists (locations cited include Liverpool, Manchester, London, and Essex), with no physical offices and no printing operations. The company is founder-led by Managing Director Jayne Smith and Client Liaison Officer Julie Hoare, with no external institutional funding, no M&A history, and no disclosed revenue figures.

The business model is transactional and pay-per-task rather than subscription or retainer-based, with usage-based pricing for transcription, hourly pricing for document formatting, and per-bundle pricing for e-bundling. Go-to-market is direct sales supplemented by content marketing (blog, social media, online learning) and a 2022 industry award (Zylpha Legal Innovation Award 'Bundle of the Year') that serves as third-party validation. The company lists ten named customer references, predominantly UK law firms, plus a property consultancy and a wealth manager.

Core offering

Bluebird Support Services provides outsourced secretarial and typing services to legal, property, and financial professionals in the UK. The core offerings include Document Fix & Format, Digital Dictation Transcription (human-powered, not voice recognition), HMCTS-compliant e-Bundling, and Your House Style template design, all delivered remotely by UK-based dedicated PAs through a cloud-based digital workflow.

Product overview

Bluebird Support Services is an outsourced secretarial and administrative support provider operating as a platform of discrete service modules. The core portfolio consists of four main services: Document Fix & Format (document remediation and reformatting), Digital Dictation Transcription (audio-to-text via human transcribers), Outsource e-Bundling (HMCTS-compliant electronic court bundle production), and Your House Style (document template design and brand standardization). These core services are complemented by add-on offerings including Zoom Meetings Transcription, Remote PA Services, and a suite of Microsoft Word training courses delivered via the Online Learning platform and the free For Format's Sake! e-book. All services are priced on a pay-per-task basis — dictation is charged per dictated minute, document formatting per hour, and e-bundling per bundle. The company operates entirely digitally using Microsoft 365 (including Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive) and integrates with clients' existing digital dictation systems (notably Speechwrite 360), acting as an outsourced extension of in-house secretarial teams.
