The VAA Network

Helping bring your business vision to life!

We work with Virtual Assistants who have a proven track record and share a similar work ethic. We’d only ever recommend assistants who we know and respect, and we’re always looking for new specialists to ensure we can offer the right support for you and your business.

CLARE GRAY

I am lucky enough to live by the sea in sunny Southend with my husband, son and our two dogs.  

I have only recently become self-employed and I am fully reaping the benefits of flexible working from home in the Virtual Administrative field.  

My experience in many areas include admin, procurement, operations and project coordination, sales and customer service roles. 

I am outgoing, confident and eager to learn more, especially in new opportunities that are going to widen my knowledge and skills. I am a proactive individual, who likes to complete tasks punctually and to the highest efficiency. I thrive in fast paced environments and like to always stay one step ahead.

JENNA OVERBURY

I have 17 years of experience, working in administration and customer service roles. These roles include the optical, dental, beauty & mortgage industry. 

I am a military wife and mum to 2 young boys, so I am used to thinking on my feet and organising my days down to the last minute! 

I love the satisfaction of ending a busy day, knowing my work is done and it's done well.

KATY SMITH

I am a legal secretary and PA with over 20 years of experience, working in London and remotely from home.  I have predominantly worked in the employment and property law sectors.

My skills include managing email inboxes, amending legal documents, data entry, diary management, creating invoices, managing expenses, organising travel, personal administration and various other administrative tasks.

In my spare time I can usually be found out on the river on my paddleboard – preferably soaking up some sunshine at the same time!

KERRY DERBYSHIRE

I am an experienced Personal Assistant with a history of 20 years working predominantly in the City of London within Sales and Financial Services. My most recent role was an amalgamation of being the Personal Assistant to a Global Head within a large Asset Management firm, and the Office Manager for his department of 150 staff.  As well as excelling in the standard duties, the role also included coordinating all recruitment and contracts, events and Project Management.

I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English Language and Linguistics and particularly enjoy the creative side of assisting; including presentations, social media, newsletters etc.  I am a self motivated, proactive, and well organised individual, who is reliable, trustworthy, has a strong attention to detail and is able to work solo or as part of a team.

KERRY FOUNTAIN

One of the things that drives me in my work is that I love helping others!

I have 12+ years' experience in the Yacht Insurance industry as a Broker and Yacht Binder Underwriter working in London and remotely at home. I am also trained as a legal secretary and have a masters in International Trade Law so I love wordings and anything contract based. My experience in many areas include account management, auditing, underwriting and content managing for SaaS based websites are some to name a few.

I love to project manage which comes from being naturally organised and self motivated which helps when you work as a self employed small business owner. 

No matter how small a task is I love to complete it to the best of my ability, making sure clients get exactly what they want. 

LEANNE HOLMAN

With 20+ years of experience with-in Financial Services, I have previously worked as a Financial Advisor/Mortgage Advisor having studied for my Financial Planning Certificates (FPC’s) and CeMAP qualifications. Most recently I worked as a Personal Assistant for a Global Asset Management firm in London.

I am self-motivated, proactive, and a well-organised individual, and am keen to assist entrepreneurs and small business owners in achieving their overall objectives and targets.

POPPY PAYNE

With my experience as a PA, I have learned how to support, provide and organise my tasks accordingly.

I am loyal, dedicated and self-motivated to achieve all my goals short and long term, and most of all I’m a fun co-worker who loves a giggle.

SINEAD MCMONAGLE

I have over 17 years of business experience, working across a number of different organisations. I have extensive experience in the Travel and Events sector, and I pride myself on being a highly reliable, super organised member of the team, with impeccable attention to detail.
I prefer to work with organised individuals who struggle to keep on top of their “pesky” to-do list. And although I love to help with planning events and arranging travel, I thrive just as much helping small business owners with general admin support, detoxing inboxes and organising calendars.
I am based in glorious Buckinghamshire with my 2-year-old pug Fred, but I’m originally from Northern Ireland. I love to travel back when I can to visit my friends and family.
