What is a Virtual Assistant?
Virtual Assistants (VA) provide off-site expert administrative support services to clients. They have a vast knowledge of the business environment gained from many years experience in the workplace and their clients can be located locally, nationally or internationally.
They are an ideal solution to individuals and businesses who have a lack of time and those who do not wish to employ staff of their own.

What do they do?
A Virtual Assistant performs a range of tasks generally covering the traditional skills performed by an administrator, secretary, office or marketing manager. However, they own and run their own business and work at another site from yours.
Each Virtual Assistant offers a slightly different set of skills. We can deal with your E-mails, maintain your database, design templates and leaflets, organise appointments, or even order flowers for a friend’s birthday! For a full list of services please see our solutions page.
