How I first started Virtual Administration

I started Virtual Administration in 2006 providing hourly rate virtual admin support to businesses – everything from general typing of reports, creating emails and mail merges, through to article writing, website editing, populating spreadsheets and databases and creating PowerPoint presentations.


With 18 years experience in business and local government administration - this was the obvious choice in career.

I could see a gap in the market where businesses and entrepreneurs who couldn't afford to employ a full time or part time administrator, didn't have the office space or spare office equipment and desperately needed to off-load the day to day admin tasks, to enable them to concentrate on what they loved doing in their own business.


Three and half years later I’m now training people UK wide to become freelance home working virtual assistants, helping them to build their own client base while working round the family commitments.


Virtual Working is definitely the future and of course saves businesses thousands of pounds in salary costs.

It’s a fantastic opportunity for people from an admin/secretarial background to use their expert skills and knowledge – as well as providing businesses and entrepreneurs with professional high quality business support.
