Emma Crabtree
Owner, Red Box Virtual Office
Hi, and thank you for taking the time to visit my profile.
Red Box has been operating since June 2005. In this time we have been able to support individuals and companies across the globe. From London to San Diego, from the UAE to Australia, Red Box aids and encourages businesses to free themselves from their day to day admin.
Previously, my roles were in administration and PA support, managing systems for companies of five to 250. I have worked in facilities and office management, been a PA to Directors and Partners as well as a housekeeper on a ranch the size of Wales..!
My overall aim with each of my clients is to enable them to spend time doing what they enjoy them most. For some it is being on the road selling their product, for others it's being able to stop work at 5 each day to be at home for their families. Your priorities become my priorities; I endeavour to do my utmost to ensure you're there for the school run.
This is not a complete list of what I can do for you and your business, but it will give you an idea of what you can think about off-loading:
- Transcriptions
- Proof reading marketing materials
- Research
- Purchasing
- Article or blog writing/submissions
- Data checking
- Mail merges & email campaigns
Clients use Red Box for day to day support, for one off projects and for holiday cover. There is no minimum or maximum amount of time that you need to subscribe to. Red Box adapts to your needs and can be there to support you as your business grows.
20 contactsProprietor of Red Box Virtual Office Services, a Virtual Assistant company providing remote secretarial and administration services to clients off-site.
I offer and deliver efficient and effective PA and administrative services. Clients can expect my focus and dedication in all matters.
I am a professional performing a wide range of office functions for one or more clients without setting foot in the clients’ office. In the office world I am known as a Personal Assistant or Office Manager – in the on-line community I am known as a VA (Virtual Assistant) or Virtual Professional.
I am not a temp or your employee, but a self-employed professional who understands the pressures and challenges of running your own business. I provide professional business support, which can be tailored to meet your individual requirements, allowing you more time to focus on what you do well. I can provide extra support if your workload exceeds your staffing levels.
Red Box enables you to use your time more profitably. By using Red Box, you can concentrate on working on your business, rather than in your business. Remember, you only pay for the time you use, there are no office overheads or employment taxes to think about.
My experience has been acquired in the NGO and SME sectors. Roles have included office management, PA to directors and partners, team co-ordinator and administrator, and have involved working with between 2 and 250 people.
