ABOUT ME

My name is Nicola Clark; I work from a state-of-the-art office in my home near Canterbury, Kent and I have extensive experience in all of the services I offer (details below). 

I decided to become a V.A as I had always wanted to run my own business and liked the idea of the ‘virtual’ office – I knew it would advantage my lifestyle, and could be a great benefit to other businesses, freelancers or individuals not just locally but worldwide.

I have now been in business for 4 years and have a core of long-term and a good variety of short-term clients.  Please ask if you would like a reference.

I am an intelligent, organised, dedicated and hard-working professional who is committed to making your life easier!
