Short Description:

I offer a short turn-round service for a wide range of PA, secretarial and administration services, including typing, audio transcription, research, Web content, copy writing, CV's, data entry, PowerPoint presentations and spreadsheets.

Long Description:

My company is The Virtual Office and I offer a range of business support services, from secretarial and administration to podcasting, editorial and journalism.

If you're snowed under with paperwork and it's stopping you from getting on with your real work, I'll take it off your hands and turn it into something beautiful!

The main benefit is that you only pay for the work I do for you - there's no ongoing financial commitment. I always take the time to get to know you, what makes you tick and how you like to work.

I can collect your work from you in person, or you can send it to me and I'll deliver the finished product in a format to suit you, within an agreed timescale.

In addition, I have nearly 18 years media and broadcast experience (see below) and am currently producing and editing podcasts for The Beermat Entrepreneur and providing voice-overs for on-hold, IVR systems and radio ad campaigns as well as editorial and research for Wells Park Communications. I also research and write content for both online and print use.

With over 10 years experience as a full time and temporary agency PA/Secretary at all levels including CEO/MD and Director, I have plenty of knowledge of many industries and sectors including (but not limited to) broadcasting and media, entertainment, healthcare and medical, marketing and PR, consulting engineering, heavy plant, construction, architecture, interior design, real estate and land acquisition, insolvency and bankruptcy and freight transport.

This experience has been gained in companies ranging from sole traders to worldwide corporations.

I am a hard-working, disciplined and discreet person with an upbeat, likeable and communicative approach. I have plenty of "customer care" skills (I hate buzzwords but sometimes they're inevitable).and really enjoy what I do.

Key work skills include:

- A results driven attitude
- Enjoy working to deadlines
- Creativity and problem solving
- Reliable, trustworthy and honest


Other strings to my bow include 11 years at the BBC's pleasure - both sides of the microphone - and five years as a producer/presenter and journalist for independent stations. I have solid editorial, research, journalistic, production and presentation skills as well as working technical knowledge of broadcast delivery systems including podcasting, ISDN, satellite and studio operations.
