What better place to start than with an explanation as to how I got here.
I set up MV Assistants back in 2017 when I found myself living in South Africa, exploring a new and exciting venture having just left my very stable job of 7 years working as a PA in London.
I was at a very comfortable point within my career whereby I knew how each day would go, I felt in control, yet a small part of me was craving change and a new challenge. This feeling never disappeared, so one day I decided to address it. I gave in my notice and booked a one-way ticket to South Africa.
For the first part of my South African adventure, I took some time to ease into the new slower pace of life, which was well and truly welcomed! I was in no rush to return to work as I felt like I deserved a much-needed break to reconnect and recharge before discovering my next venture. What started to become very apparent to me, was that people in SA lived rather protected & private lives. People socialized in small arranged circles, in which you needed an invite. This was a very different set-up to my energetic & fast-paced social life in London, where connections were made organically and new opportunities presented themselves weekly.
When the time came to begin thinking about work again, I realized I would have to be proactive. I thought about my experience and how even though I was now based in a new country, what remained the same were my services & tools. These were still available for me to continue working, virtually!
That’s how MV Assistants was born.
When people ask me, how do you make it work? The answer is simple: I have taken the best communication & organisational tools available, and humanised them. My energy and enthusiasm for my clients still remains the same.
Despite physical interaction holding great importance to a working relationship, what is truly vital is accuracy, proactivity & reliability. There is an ability to feel close to somebody through the immediacy of technology.
What sets MV Assistants aside from other virtual assistant service providers based in Jersey is the array of expertise we offer as a business. We have highly experienced individuals from all backgrounds such as Executive Support, Marketing & Events and Editing & Proof reading, so effectively our brand is a flawless consultancy service which aids your brand or business to do the best it possibly can. Our common denominator is working with people who excel is their area of expertise. Our services, support you, so that you can focus on the things that matter.
Our approach is personable. We get to know each of our clients so well, that we begin to think for them. Our style of proactive working means that we gain a broad & dedicated understanding to our client’s needs. It’s this level of accountability and professionalism that make our working relationship so intangible. Once we begin working with someone, it’s hard for them to remember what it’s like when we weren’t involved. Our relationships are integral to achievement & success within a business.
What is comes down to is truly enjoy being relied upon. It proves what I am doing is working and has a great impact on someone’s life. Working virtually needs commitment from both sides, at all times; nothing can go ignored or unnoticed and that constant flow of acknowledgment and communication makes my job quite perfect.
