about JCL

JCL Services, Ltd. was founded by Lori Welch in 2001 and was originally conceived as Just Call Lori—one-stop-shopping for errands and organizing to make your life easier.

Lori, a busy, single person trying to juggle it all—career, home ownership, personal life, etc.—couldn’t afford to take time out from work to wait for a repair person for an ill-timed appliance failure. She excelled at organizing the day-to-day professional lives of senior executives, and realized the need for extra help for busy people, both single and married, in their personal lives as well. Thanks to JCL Services, you don’t have to be a CEO or in a special tax bracket to benefit from executive-level assistance in your personal life, as well as your professional one.

JCL Services has grown its team and its offerings to include personal assistance, organizing, concierge and errand services, and project management for both your home and office (see service listing). JCL’s guiding principal remains intact, however, as Lori maintains a personal connection to each and every client.

Lori is a native of the DC metro area and has over 20 years of administrative, management, and communications experience. As a result, she has a wealth of resources and contacts that complement JCL’s one-stop shopping methodology. Lori’s experience working with and supporting top-level corporate executives, and senior partners in a prestigious law firm, has provided her with a solid background in organizing busy lives, juggling multiple requests, and delivering on-time results.

Lori is a regular feature writer for the Old Town Crier. She has also been published in Washington Woman and Washington Weddings.
