When York Instruments Ltd went into administration in September 2019 and therefore my role as the Office Manager/Accounts & PA came to end, I found myself wondering how to follow on from a role that I had truly loved working in. Instead of trying to find a job that dosen’t exist, because the one I had held at York Instruments was made by me.

I was originally recruited to be the office administrator, but I quickly took on more responsibility (such as accounts, payroll and recruitment), I enjoyed the fact that it utilised all my skills and no day was the same. I started with the company at its inception, helping put into place new processes and procedures, assisting with the recruitment of the team and being involved in the whole day to day running of the company that had 43 members of staff when it finally came to an end. Where do you go from this type of role!

So I decided to take the leap of faith and start My Virtual Personal Assistant. I learnt so much about new business procedures from my time at York Instruments after all. I feel that with the expertise I gained in that role, along with the experience I gained over the last 17 years of my career, meant I have so much I can offer in the way of administrative support/HR administration/accounts preparation and payroll to list just a few of my skills.

I truly believe I can make a real difference to any business that is struggling with finding the time in the day to get the “admin” done. I am competitively priced and flexible in my approach so get in touch if you would like to be given back more time in your day.
