The PA Hub Limited

What The PA Hub Limited does

The PA Hub Limited is a privately-held UK company founded in 2012 that operates a regional, community-led membership organisation for business support professionals (Personal Assistants, Executive Assistants, Virtual Assistants, Office Managers, and Secretaries) across the North of England. The company runs membership programmes across five tiers — from a free Discovery tier to a paid Summit tier — alongside a programme of in-person events, training days, showcase events, and conferences delivered through seven city hubs (Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, York, Chester, and Sheffield), plus digital events with replay access via a members-only portal. Additional revenue streams include corporate group memberships sold to employers, a paid Venue and Supplier Directory (£750 plus VAT annually) for businesses targeting the PA/EA audience, exhibitor stand fees at showcase events, paid job board advertising, and newsletter features and event sponsorship.

The platform is delivered primarily through the website thepahub.co.uk, with no proprietary technology, API, or software product disclosed as a differentiator. Distribution combines direct digital sign-up via the website, employer-sponsored group membership onboarding, and physical event delivery across the regional hub network. The company monetises through subscription (individual and corporate memberships, directory listings), transactional (event tickets, showcase stands, job ads, newsletter features), and sponsorship revenue. Notable scale indicators include members collectively working alongside 700+ senior executives, 2,300+ years of combined member experience, and a claimed 2025 Best UK PA Network award at The PA Show Awards. The PA Hub is independently owned with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or subsidiaries.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• The PA ShowminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerThe PA Hub's award as Best UK PA Network was granted at The PA Show Awards, which is the UK's leading event for the PA and administrative profession. The PA Show is an industry platform that connects PAs and EAs with suppliers and training providers. The relationship appears to be an industry recognition and endorsement rather than a formal commercial partnership.
