Lydia the Virtual PA W11

Business Services My work experience has been working as a PA/Secretary/Office Manager for over 25 years. As a VPA I offer business services support, such as copy typing (be that contracts, books, large documents/reports or letters), sending out a mailout using mailmerge or an email mailout, diary management, booking meetings, data entry, online research, invoicing, lifestyle support (which could include ordering flowers, gift buying, property management, booking theatre tickets or a table reservation), general administrative support and more. One job I had many years ago after reaching out to various companies asking if there was any admin ad hoc work they had available and I got a call back from The Hale Clinic in Harley Street, they needed an old hardback book retyped (‘The Hale Clinic Guide to Good Health: How to Choose the Right Complementary Therapy)‘, as the original copy had been lost off, so the whole book had to be retyped. I had a deadline of a month, I got it completed within 10 days. Ultimately, they were happy it was completed within the deadline and I was happy they were happy, which is the objective of what a VPA is all about. So no job is too small or big for a VPA to commit to. As a VPA I am here to take on the work that a client can do, but hates to do, but as a VPA we love to do, so a win-win situation for both parties. Using my services allows the client to save time and money, a client only pays for the time they need, I am available hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or ongoing, depending on the client’s needs. There are no employee overheads as you would have had if you employed someone full-time/part-time, just the VPAs time spent on the work you have booked in. Booking my time means I am available to a client as and when they need me during the allotted time they have booked. I am flexible, which means I am able to work around the client’s schedule, and this could mean working weekends.
