About
Why Use a Virtual Assistant?
All businesses, but particularly small businesses, strive to work efficiently to keep operating costs to a minimum. The practicality of hiring a VA means it saves on the costs of employing a permanent member of staff and as a VA is often used to carrying out this type of work, they can normally whip through tasks in much less time than you could do it yourself. Hiring a VA leaves the business owner to concentrate on delivering the service or product they set out to sell.
Why Use a Business Support Manager?
Businesses who have successfully grown to a point where they need an additional manager might want to hire a Virtual Business Support Manager to assist them with the day-to-day operational activities so they can focus on further growth and the strategic direction of the business. Running a business is hard work. Being able to share the load with a like-minded professional and ask for advice or brainstorm ideas can provide an essential sensor check and relive some of the pressure. A BSM can be that business partner or right-hand man/woman you always wish you had.

About Me
Having spent over 30 years working in administrative and management roles across a number of industries, I have a broad understanding and flexible approach to working with a variety of businesses.
There are a number of natural qualities a person needs in order to offer an outstanding professional service and to deliver it seamlessly without getting ruffled, even in the face of pressure. I describe these natural qualities as my tool kit. This tool kit includes a number of skills and attributes that maximise efficiency and facilitate a cool, calm approach.
My Tool Kit
- A professional approach
- Absolute discretion
- Accurate work with attention to detail
- Efficient organisation
- Good communicator
- Self motivated and proactive
With this flair for outstanding organisation, efficient administration and sharp co-ordination I have focused my career on providing these services to small businesses who need a little extra support.
My Clients
Most of my clients are established micro businesses and small to medium sized businesses who have grown to a point where they need some extra support in a particular area. They might not have enough additional work to warrant a full-time member of staff, or they are not quite ready to expand the team permanently. I also work with start-ups and entrepreneurs to give them a helping hand in getting their businesses off the ground.
