A Virtual Secretary or Virtual Assistant as they are also known is a self-employed professional who can provide office and administrative support to businesses remotely via email, telephone, fax or post.  Because they work remotely they can provide secretarial and business support to individuals and companies located across the UK.

A Virtual Secretary or Assistant is neither classed as a temp nor an employee but lists themselves as a freelance secretary who caters to the needs of the individual, small business or large corporations.

The services of a Virtual Secretary are tailored to each specific client in order to provide high quality business and office support which in turn enables their clients to focus on their core business objectives, rather than on time consuming administrative chores.

Virtual Secretaries are professional freelance individuals, often working from fully equipped offices within their homes, who provide support on one-off projects or on a long term basis. Almost every task that can be accomplished in an office can be completed virtually.
