"I have had several projects piling up on my desk which have caused me a great deal of stress and asked Julie if you would like the challenge?  These were by no means straight forward as they included preparing a very complex funding application, press releases etc.  Having passed these over to Julie along with some research information I left her to it, as always I battle against deadlines, therefore Julie also had deadlines to meet.  Julie has no experience in any aspect of Fire Safety to my knowledge, however managed to prepare funding applications which have very detailed descriptions.  This was quite a lengthy process which had to be exactly right in order for it to be endorsed by a commissioning officer.  Julie took it by the horns, and would not let go until the application had been endorsed, often ringing me for an update, which was not necessary on her part as she had completed the job I had given her.  Also at a moments notice I asked Julie to write a 500 word article on wireless fire alarm systems and the benefits for a Church.  Again Julie had no problem with this and did the work over the weekend to ensure I met another deadline.  I would gladly recommend Julie as she has been a massive help to me, has a lovely friendly and helpful nature and isn't phased by anything you throw at her"  Amanda - General Manager

  "I would strongly recommend that any busy, business owner who is too busy working in their business to work on it just ‘Ask Julie’. Julie and her team provide exceptional service, are consistently professional and in addition are fun to work with.  Should anyone wish to speak with me about the quality of your service I would be delighted to hear from them."  Helen

"Julie has been my virtual PA – ‘girl Friday’ now for over 2 years. It is great having someone to turn to; helping in those tasks which are important to the business but at the same time as an SME can detract from my time in marketing or professional delivery. So whether it is data input, accounts or up-dating my Blog I know she is there and can efficiently turn the work around in the shortest possible time." Keith Career Coach  

"As a small business owner, my skills are best utilised in expanding my business and speaking to existing and potential new clients.  Julie comes in twice a month and brings all the paperwork up to date, highlights any urgent enquiries and ensures that the back office of my company operates very effectively.  The way that Julie works is a very cost effective way of running that side of my business.  As I can rely on Julie to sort things out I finally have some free time to enjoy my friends and family. Duncan - MD

 "Julie recently carried out a temporary assignment at my company for a week covering unexpected absence.  She came in, sorted out the backlog, carried out all tasks given to her and also had time on her hands to set up a mail merge for a marketing campaign due within 8 weeks.  She scanned all our business cards, using a scanning machine she uses for other clients, put them all into our database and Outlook and also tidied up the database so that it was in a manageable format.  Excellent work and highly recommended.  Julie is an asset to any company - large or small."  Simon - HR Manager

"I have recently retained Julie's services for a twelve month period.  She comes in once a month and we sit down and go through all of my outstanding items and after discussing what I would like to happen, Julie takes the work away and completes it to a very high standard.  Any work that takes more than the two days a month I pay for is charged out at a very reasonable rate.    Julie always checks with me to ensure that I am happy for the work to be completed and gives very accurate estimates of the time required which helps considerably when looking at cashflow.   The main benefit is that I know the work is being completed, once passed to Julie I can forget about it and know that anything I get back will be easier to manage if not fully completed.  Every business owner who works alone in a successful business needs Ask Julie."  Jayne - Consultant

"Yours is a service that small businesses really need.  In five hours all the admin that had been left for another day was efficiently dealt with and a new filing system put in place.  This added value to my business and I can buy as much time as I need at affordable rates"  Jackie - MD 

"Julie is not only excellent at what she does, her speed and accuracy would be difficult to rival, and mean that her services represent tremendous value for money.  Her attention to detail, enthusiastic and imaginative approach make her invaluable.  I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone running a small business."  Janice - MD

"The service you provide fits in very well with ourselves.   We have hired temps and part time staff before and things rarely work out, usually ending up with us having to do the work again.  You come in, do the work, I don't have to explain things twice and as a first point of contact for customers, I find you professional and confident.  Your across the board knowledge of business operations and the variety of skills you possess are very advantageous and I would gladly recommend your services to anyone who asks - and also to those who don't"  Lucie - Manager
