Bio
Karen Tait
I was introduced to Laura through a mutual business friend and it's always great to meet other VA's. During my summer holiday this year I needed an Associate to help with my client load, therefore enabling me to switch off for 2 weeks. The client that Laura worked with is a tech start-up and she helped both the Chairman and CEO. The work involved was predominately travel, diary and inbox management. Laura handled the work really well, gave me a fully detailed handover when I was back and the client was very happy. I would have no hesitation in working with Laura again!

Laura provided my charity Findacure with assistance in fundraising on an ad hoc basis after the departure of our permanent staff member. Laura was great to work with, providing good advice on the approach to grant proposals, flexibility in her work, and a great level of enthusiam. Her work was high quality, and we would be very happy to work with her again if the need arises.
