Gerry Hyde Email & Phone Number

I offer capable, conscientious and caring virtual business support to businesses in the Thames Valley, across the UK and worldwide. I provide expert, reliable administrative and project management services on a flexible remote basis, saving firms time, money, and desk-space. Friendly, dedicated and trusted, with 25 years’ experience in business administration and project management, I place a strong emphasis on practical, tailored solutions, offering flexible hands-on assistance with any task that my clients don’t have the time, skills or inclination to do. Why work with me?• Delegate time-consuming, energy-draining tasks, leaving you to concentrate on what you are really passionate about - the core needs of developing your business and cultivating your clients. I love getting bogged down in the detail, leaving you to manage the bigger picture.• Save money by paying only for specific hours worked rather than a full-time staff member. Avoid recruitment costs, holiday and sickness pay, pension and NI contributions, or agency fees.• Access specialist skills outside your remit – from social media to book-keeping, I have expertise and contacts in all areas of business, at your disposal. And with years of experience, you won’t have to micro-manage or check up on them.• Flexible terms – employ me on an ad hoc, hourly, project, or retainer basis; whatever best suits your business. Whichever the arrangement, you only pay for the time a task actually takes.• Get an extension to your workforce, without finding new desk space. I pride myself on real relationships with clients, buying into your business, caring about your customers, and becoming one of the team – whilst operating from my own office with my own equipment.

Listed skills include Social Media, Marketing, Executive Office Administration, Virtual Assistance, and 19 others.
