One off, ad hoc or regular services are available

Of course, as a VA I provide a complete administrative and secretarial service, but with my particular background and skill sets I specialise in the following;

Databases

As a former chartered reference librarian I am well trained and experienced in the organisation, retrieval and dissemination of information. I can set up your required database (customers, sales, stock … ) using Access, Excel or your own package, and even maintain and update it as often as you require. If, once the database is set up, you prefer to maintain it yourself I can provide the appropriate training for you.

Proofreading

Not just your quite-good-at-English help – I am professionally qualified (with merit) via The Publishing Training Centre; one of the most highly respected training organisations in the publishing industry. I specialise in business proofreading and editing; as the saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression so make sure that your potential new customers see you as a professional who pays attention to detail.

Reorganisation

Do your files – or even your whole office – need an overhaul? Do you waste hours looking for that all important file or document which you could more profitably be spending on your customers? I can provide a complete reorganisation service; cataloguing and organising your entire office or collection so you never need waste time again! Archiving and indexing services also provided.

Research

Again my background makes me ideally suited for research using various sources from directories to the internet. I can help you source new materials or products, prepare lists of contacts, obtain quotes for your service requirements … anything that you don’t have the time to do yourself!
