Didsbury Life Virtual Assistant Service

A Helping Hand for Small Businesses

If you run a small enterprise, chances are that you spend most of your time tackling mundane administrative tasks, rather than the meatier stuff that really benefits your business. However, Didsbury Life’s Virtual Assistant Service provides small companies with an ideal solution to this problem, leaving you free to use your skills where they are really needed.

No Job is Too Big – or Too Small

Whether you need a presentation putting together, a stack of letters typed or a pile of overdue invoices chasing, our dedicated team of Didsbury Life Virtual Assistants can complete the task on your behalf. No job is too big or too small for them, so they’re able to help you on a wide range of different projects.

A Talented Team

Sarah Rugg, the latest addition to the Didsbury Life team, will oversee the running of this soon-to-be essential service. Boasting a variety of skills, she gained valuable marketing, customer service, proofreading and debt collection experience during a long and fruitful career at MBNA, now known as Bank of America.

Sarah also has a strong team behind her, including an HR professional and a database whizz. “Most of the people on my team are high-calibre people who have left their career to have children,” she says, “Their skills are very varied and they’ve all worked in middle management. It’s important that I can trust people, so many of my team members are people that I’ve worked with previously.”

More Effective Than a PA

You might think a virtual assistant is a substitute for a PA, but we believe it’s an upgrade. After all, our Didsbury Life Virtual Assistant Service offers a whole host of advantages over a traditional Personal Assistant. Firstly, the flexibility of our service makes it a much more cost-effective option than hiring a PA. Sarah explains, “It works out cheaper than a PA if you consider overheads such as holiday pay and sick pay.” Plus, as you only pay for the hours we’ve devoted to your work, you won’t have to pay for the periods of inactivity that a full-time member of staff may incur.

We also believe that the wealth of experience in the Didsbury Life Virtual Assistant Service team makes us a much more valuable asset than a PA. Each piece of work is specifically allocated to the assistant with the most experience in that area, meaning that every assignment is completed quickly and to the highest possible standard. As Sarah says, “You just couldn’t get all that experience with just one employee!”

Release The Pressure

Sarah admits that the best part of her job is meeting enthusiastic small business owners and helping them to fulfil their potential. She said: “I love meeting entrepreneurs and other forward thinking people. We take the administrative pressure off them, so they can focus on pushing their business forward.”

Didsbury Life’s Virtual Assistant Service is a flexible and bespoke service that’s available as and when you require it. For more information or a quote, call us on 0161 445 7759 or 07891 114260.
