Help for small businesses
Many small business owners prefer to concentrate on what they do best and hand over all or some of the secretarial work to a freelance secretary/PA. Assistance can be tailored to the client’s need whether it’s a few hours every week or on an ad hoc basis. Work can be undertaken on the client’s premises or off site.

Holiday cover
Holidays are wonderful! That is, unless you are the one left in the office doing your job as well as the work of the person who is away. Regular clients book secretarial cover well in advance to ensure that chaos doesn't greet their secretary on return from a vacation.

Cover while recruiting
Securing the right person for that vital administrative role is crucial and can take time. A gap may occur between one person leaving and another starting. Having professional cover during this time makes the handover so much smoother and stress free.

Organisation and systems
Despite the notion of the paperless work place, offices all over the land are sinking under the weight of disorganised mounds of paper and files. Too many people spend far too much time looking for lost items. The answer lies in organisation and setting up systems that suit the client. In most cases the solution does not take long and it is extremely cost effective!

Proof reading
It’s a fact that it is much easier to spot someone else’s mistakes than your own. To ensure that your literature and website are professional, get them proof read before printing and presenting to potential clients.

Apostrophes
Misplaced apostrophes abound in business literature. Few people seem to understand how to use them correctly and only a small proportion seek help. They can be mastered with guidance! Alternatively, use the proof reading service described above.

QMS Administration
Quality standard accreditation for any company means that someone must oversee procedures to ensure that each external inspection is successful. Adding this responsibility to an existing role within the firm is not always an ideal solution. However, entrusting the work to an objective third party guarantees results on inspection day.
