The Admin Angels UK Story

6/2/2014

 
Your Business Story
I recently realised that I'd never written down the story behind Admin Angels UK. 

Even though I've re-told the story countless times I thought that you may be interested to read how Admin Angels UK began.
I first decided to work for myself in December 2012. I’d been threw a slew of unsatisfactory jobs that offered little or no prospects and at this precise moment I found myself without Christmas pay as the company that I was working for was having financial difficulties.

To make some additional money over the Christmas period I started looking for a new job and found that they were far and few between with so many willing applicants that job advertisements were closing within 24-48 hours of opening.

I began to panic as I foresaw my ever-looming redundancy and so I started to think about what other skills I had learned over the years and went over the qualifications that I’d gained through education as I drew up a new résumé. 

During my search for work I came across a term that was familiar but rather vague in my understanding of it, ‘ freelancing’. 

Without realising it, I had just accidentally stumbled across my salvation.

I began looking through various ‘freelancing’ websites, creating profiles for myself and listing the skills discovered when working through my résumé. I ploughed through the 'work-needed' listings and applied to as many as I was able.

To my utter disbelief I found that slowly but surely the work began to trickle in. I was asked to complete a variety of tasks including; data entry, data processing, writing, customer service and a great deal more. I learnt so many new skills along the way.

I had no idea what was happening and was sure that it would only last for a very short time but I didn’t have anything to lose and so I got to work. I borrowed my partner’s laptop, set-up a small workspace in our kitchen and got to work. I worked every evening after work and every weekend until I got to the point where I was making as much working from home as I was in the week at my 9-5 job.

I thought long and hard about what the best decision was and after plenty of encouragement and confidence boosting from my partner, for the most part, and those few clients that I had started to work with, I decided to leave my employment and work full time self-employed.

For a while things were going steady, each week I would receive at least one new work request which kept the bills ticking over and then things started to get quite busy.

It was my partner who suggested that I need a name and a brand for my services, one that I could promote and that would be recognisable to potential clients and it was he who thought of the name Admin Angels UK.

I worked for months on a website and logo that would represent my business in the way that I wanted it to, and even though it’s still constantly changing and developing, I can honestly say that running Admin Angels UK has been the most exciting and rewarding time of my professional life.

Along the way I quickly realised that my business was special to me, it was "my own. My precious!" and I knew that was exactly how my clients felt about their own businesses.

Therefore, I decided to add a consistent level of value to my service that would make my clients and their businesses feel valued, respected and treasured and so I set out to create an affordable virtual assistant service where a clients business would always be treated with the same care and dedication as though it were my own.

I am always looking for new ways to improve my service, cater to new clients and build upon my skills and I hope to be doing so for an extremely long time.

The Admin Angels UK Story is now available permanently on our website under the About Us section.

Kayleigh is quite simply one of the most efficient VAs I have ever worked with. Whatever I ask for is delivered without fuss, with appropriate reminders, and often with a good suggestion proffed too. She has brought clarity and consistency to some complex newsletter and events tasks I had been struggling with. She works very effectively with others too. I have reason to be grateful to Kayleigh every week and so happy she is part of our team. ​
