Client Testimonials

Alison has been helping me to put processes in place for my business. She's been great in helping me to be more focused and to have a proper plan of action. By ensuring I act on the things I need to do through accountability meetings, I have achieved so much more over the last 6 months than I have over the previous 5 years! Alison offers excellent advice and is a great sounding board. As well as business development advice, she's also done various admin for me which I'd been putting off for far too long. Alison is very organised, tech savvy and extremely nice to deal with. Highly recommended.

Dave McCourt Director OF BANANADesign

For the past year we have worked with Alison to support our everyday business activities. She has been a great asset, is super organised and quick to respond to tasks, such as booking meetings, responding to enquiries and helping us with our social media plan.

We are a niche company, with a variety of clients and artists and Alison always uses her initiative when working with them. We appreciate her knowledge and use of project management platforms that keep us on track with our projects. Plus she's always so cheerful and happy to take on a challenge. We would thoroughly recommend Alison Quinn as a virtual assistant for your business.

Louise Francis and Laura Knight FOUNDING DIRECTORS OF FRANCISKNIGHT PUBLIC ART CONSULTANCY

I couldn't recommend Alison enough. She's been writing my newsletters for 6 months now, and each month has consistently resulted in more subscribers and engagement than the last.

Alison is super organised and highly motivated meaning it didn't take her long to get to grips with what I need and start producing high quality content. She effectively communicates what she needs from me and sets deadlines, keeping me accountable too. I couldn't sing her praises enough. If you've ever toyed with the idea of having a VA, give her a call. You'll be wondering how you ever managed without her.

Alison is an absolute rockstar. I worked with her over 4 months, utilising her data skills. She is very proficient, amazing at keeping items on track, fantastic at keeping you updated and such a delight to spend time with. I really enjoyed our zoom calls and look forward to meeting 'in person' one day soon.

Alison has worked with The PA Portal as an Associate for over a year now. In that time she has proven herself time and time again. She is trustworthy, conscientious and throws herself into the tasks allocated.

She has supported me with client work and also with my own business tasks. Her technical knowledge is outstanding and she is a natural problem solver. It's such a relief to know that I have Alison on-board, supporting from the wings. Thank you Alison!

Ann Read Founder OF THE PA PORTAL

Alison has been a pleasure to work with and one of those people in life that always has a cheery smile – even though most of the time we worked remotely by phone or email. Never once would I have known if she’d had a bad day herself, such is the joy of her demeanour. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Alison to take on and she seemed to thrive on the extensive variety of the work I gave her. Never afraid to turn her hand to any task, she also willing took on the training and learning of new systems, whether internal or external without hesitation and gave comprehensive handovers to her co-VA at the end of each week’s ‘shift’. I truly wish Alison the very best for the future and would recommend her to anyone seeking the ever more rare qualities of polite manners, positive energy, hard-work and diligence.

Alison took on a task I hate and I was very pleased to easily out source. I gave her a written brief to request some specific quotes for services. Alison used her own initiative and brilliance to collect market information, including from abroad, to give me exactly what I needed with no further input from me. I could then focus on other activities in my business I am more specialised in as food safety expert.

Alison is impressively efficient, polite and professional and I would recommend her highly for a multitude of tasks. She has entrepreneurial qualities herself and a positive attitude to finding solutions promptly.

Alison joined the ESO at a time of great change and her wealth of education/management experience meant that she was able to introduce new systems to help the team cope with an ever increasing workload.

I personally welcomed her as a line manager who always consulted and communicated well with her team. Always smiling and seemingly unfazed by potentially stressful busy periods, her positive attitude made for a calmer working environment. I would highly recommend Alison; she brings fun, compassion and professionalism into challenging situations.

Caroline Perks Assistant Registrar, ESO

Alison has good strategic appreciation and vision; coupled with a real flare for compliance. She was a well-respected manager and colleague at UCA who maintained professionalism and integrity at all times.
