Virtual PA - Business & Lifestyle Management

Having spent several years within the management of the hospitality industry, I decided to take a change of direction and... wanted to develop office, PA and administration skills further. After a spell as an office administrator in various corporate industries, I then moved to working as a PA, in similar environments, with a move to working as PA to the SMT and Chief Executive of a national charity. A chance conversation after taking a career break made me realise that these skills could be put to good use by others, especially new start up businesses, SMEs, private and business individuals as well as students. That was back in 2004 and I haven't looked back since. I have many clients that have been with me since the start, on an adhoc and ongoing basis, private individuals, production companies, insurance companies, a major retail chain, to name but a few. This vast array of backgrounds means that no two days are the same and this is what I love about the business. A considerable portion of my work is transcription, whether in digital or cassette format (which I can convert to digital files) and general admin tasks. Nevertheless, no job is too small! I have a fully equipped office and can offer support to both PC and Mac users.
