Mum of two launches virtual business to strike a perfect work-life balance
Local mum, Kelly Cairns, has just launched her new Virtual Assistant business and brings a new way of working to the North East. Kelly, originally hailing from Wales, offers a ‘virtual’ service working remotely from her home office and provides the perfect solution for local businesses seeking all levels of administrative and PA support. The service is ideal for smaller companies which have a need for freelance or part-time support and therefore don’t need to commit office space or budgets to another full time employee.

Kelly began mapping out her new career as a Virtual Assistant whilst on maternity leave with her youngest son, who’s now a year old. “When I returned to work after having my first son, I found the stress of finding financially-viable childcare almost too much to bear. This time around, I decided that I wanted to really take control of my life and find something I could do at home, utilising all the talents I’ve developed over the years. Being a Virtual Assistant is perfect – in my time working for the NHS, various Housing Associations and a number of small businesses, I’ve honed my administrative skills to a high standard and now have the confidence to deliver high quality results to businesses of all sizes.”

The successful launch last month of “Kelly Cairns – Virtual Assistant” has led to a number of clients signing up to benefit from her expertise, including Bryan Campbell from Ambient Property Solutions Ltd who comments “The report writing format Kelly compiled for the new business I am starting was exactly what I required and enabled me to focus my attentions on other important areas of the business. Her experience and attention to detail were greatly appreciated and she worked seamlessly to understand my requirements for the report.”

”Kelly Cairns – Virtual Assistant” specialises in a whole host of administrative tasks including database creation, report / tender management and data entry.

Virtual Assistance is ideal for businesses which may be feeling the pinch during the current difficult economic climate, as well as start-ups requiring support to get their business off the ground with professional documents and systems implementation.

I'd like to take credit for mine, but my sister did it for me... it helps that she is in PR and knows what to grab the attention of newspapers etc lol! This was hers.

Businesswoman offers lifeline to businesses struggling with the credit crunch

Lincoln based businesswoman, Sharen Crane, is offering companies’ the opportunity to save time and money during the current economic climate with her new and innovative approach to business administration.

Launching this week, Virtual Assistant Services (VAS) has been set up to help individuals and businesses, large and small, with all forms of administrative projects without the costly overheads of employing a permanent employee or taking up the valuable time of senior managers. VAS offers all forms of office administration and can consult on other, more specialised, services including desktop publishing, marketing, event planning, website creation and maintenance. VAS also works with individuals assisting in letter writing and production, thesis preparation and those needing assistance in organising their priorities.

As consultants, VAS operate from their own premises which keeps costs low and by using up-to-date office systems and all modern communications methods, VAS are able to provide an important ‘office from office’ type environment servicing the needs of clients in exactly the same way as an employed member of staff but not incurring any of the overhead costs.

Sharen Crane, owner of VAS, states,
‘Often companies feel they can’t afford to employ a permanent member of staff and struggle to manage with their day-to-day administration. VAS can offer the support of an assistant on an ad hoc basis, with the client paying for only the time used for the work to be carried out.

No more wasted time at the water cooler, no lunch breaks, coffee breaks or cigarette breaks that eat into a working day. No annual, sick or maternity leave to pay and no pension or insurance contributions.

Already we are seeing many large companies making people redundant and smaller businesses closing. VAS can help keep businesses afloat during this difficult time by keeping costs low and free up management time to focus on their business.’

My contact details were on this, but I seem to have deleted them when I posted it to the forum lol!!! Oh well at least they went out on the original Press Release

Looks good, Kelly!

One small thing is that "full time" should be hyphenated: "full-time."

Great job!

Hi Kelly

Looks good. One of the things that I might recommend changing would be to instead of listing your first name throughout the release, go with your last name. I know it can look odd, but it can tend to add a more professional tone to the release. I know I was always taught to use it that way. (Of course, PR rules always change, just when I get them down pat.)

Also, is it virtual assistance or virtual assistants are an ideal. I'm not sure on this one. It just struck me so I thought I'd mention it to see your thoughts.

Good luck! Hope you have lots of success with it.
