What is a Virtual Assistant?

A Virtual Assistant (also referred to as a VA) takes on administrative and sometimes creative functions for businesses. Working from their own office or home, a VA is a cost-effective and invaluable alternative to a Personal Assistant or employee. A VA can answer and filter e-mails, arrange travel, organise conferences, draft letters, manage diaries, return calls, book appointments, complete data entry, research and much more. Some VAs can even help with marketing and other specialised areas.

Didsbury Life's Virtual Assistant Service provides office expertise and administrative support to small and medium sized businesses. Being able to hire resources only when you need them can really help make the difference between success and failure of your business. Your time is valuable – don’t waste it on admin!

The Benefits of DLVAS...

DLVAS can offer almost all the office support services you would expect to find in a large multi-national organisation. We carry out work to a high standard, allowing you to confidently delegate those administrative chores for an attractive hourly rate.

Efficient

The DLVAS team is highly experienced and knowledgeable, the majority having previously held managerial roles or positions of responsibility. Each job received from a client is allocated to the team member whose skills are most suited to it, to ensure the most effective and efficient result for the client.

Cost-effective

When using our Virtual Assistant service, you will not pay for ‘dead time’ - you pay only when there is work to be done. Our hourly rate, which is often less than the real cost of employees, allows you to take advantage of extra manpower whenever you need it, without the hassle of PAYE and overheads.

Flexible

You choose how often you use DLVAS and for how long. You may wish to use our services for a few hours as a one-off, or you may wish to use us for a few days per week. Either is fine with us, we’re flexible. Whatever your position, we won’t tie you into a long-term contract.

Specialised

As well as admin, we can help with proof reading, recruitment, databases, project management and efficiencies. Within our team are a knowledgeable HR manager, a skilled database expert, and staff who were instrumental in the implementation of a £200m project for a multi-national organisation.

Resourceful

Our team of highly skilled individuals are dedicated to meet your needs. We also have relationships with experienced resources we use when required. We thrive on challenge, and pull out all the stops to successfully deliver results for our clients.

Confidential

Any information or data given to us by clients, whether it is over email, telephone or hardcopy, is treated with the highest confidentiality. Once a job is finished, hardcopy information is always returned to the client or cross-shredded and electronically transmitted files are deleted from our systems.
