Above Parr · Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2009 5:18 pm Post subject: Hello!

My name is Sara and I've just set up (just over 2 months) as Above Parr PA Services.

I've been reading with interest while my membership came through, but now it has I thought I'd better introduce myself...

I'm based in Jacksdale, Nottingham (not that I expect anyone will have heard of it, it's not a big place) and have 2 cats, 2 stepsons and too many ideas going around my poor little brain at the moment!

I originally set up a VA business about 6 years ago (when the term hadn't even been invented up here - I remember having great difficulty explaining what I did!) and after leaving my last job thought that if it worked then it must be worth another go now that people had got the hang of the idea. So far so good, how's everyone else getting on?

Hi Sara - welcome to SVA!!!

Yup - it is kinda tricky to explain the concept, but very slowly more people are getting to hear of it and it's getting easier to open people up to using the service.

I am up in Glasgow and it is very cold at the moment!!!! BRRR!!

Hope you find it useful!

Hi Sara,
I'm just down the road from you in Derby, so I've heard of Jacksdale Very Happy

I've worked on and off over the years as an informal VA, and decided to make it more formal last year.

Welcome to the SVA forum.

Hi Sarah,

Welcome from East Devon. It is cold here but not as much as in many places in the UK.

Good luck with your venture.
