Virtual Assistant Northwich & Warrington
I am Clare Matthews and I run Pink Spaghetti Northwich and Warrington. Virtual Assistants allow you to run your business while outsourcing all those tasks that you don’t find the time to get done.
I live in Northwich, Cheshire and I am incredibly passionate about supporting our local businesses to thrive and succeed. I do this by listening to your needs, playing to your strengths and taking care of the rest, as you would like it to be done and getting it right first time. Working with you to make processes more seamless and save you time.
Why Me
I have been in business for almost three years, previously working at Pink Spaghetti HQ and falling in love with what we do. Helping you succeed.
Having spent over 13 years in wealth management and administration I have developed excellent organisation and communication skills. I am both approachable and professional and know how important it is to get things right for customers.
I have been fortunate enough to work varied roles with large corporates and sole traders and can understand the pressures faced by both types of businesses. Working as a VA there is no task too small or large that we can’t take care of.
Why a virtual assistant?
Simply put Virtual Assistants are self employed experts. Already trained in the tasks that you need doing but without the need for all those associated expenses a staff member can bring such as holiday pay, pensions with HR and payroll costs.
We work with people who find their business has grown so fast they simply cannot manage the new volume of work. To those that started their business to be a therapist, engineer or coach and don’t enjoy the administration, bookkeeping or social media that is part and parcel of running a successful business.
We offer either a "pick up, put down" hourly rate, or retainer agreements from as little as 4 hours a month for something more long term and secure - whichever suits your business. We pride ourselves in open and honest pricing, so you will never get a surprise bill, and we can work to your budget.
Why Pink Spaghetti?
Pink Spaghetti is a franchise network with VA’s across the UK. On the occasion you need help with a task outside my area of expertise the network is there to support, refer and share knowledge. There is a power in our number that you might not find in an independent VA.
As a sole trader making those important business decisions day in and day out can be tiring and lonely and while you don’t have the headache of being an employer we can very much become part of your support team. To not only run ideas by us, when you get stuck but also by outsourcing you are freeing up headspace to concentrate on the tasks you are doing safe in the confidence we are taking care of the jobs you delegate to us.
A range of Virtual PA Services
As a VA no two tasks or clients are ever exactly the same. With a variety of requirements from administration, research, growing networks through social media platforms and social media content writing and scheduling.
Often a client knows they need help but isn’t sure what to outsource and we can help with that process too by offering a free no obligation chat to see where we can add the best value to your business.
Case Studies Here is how some of our customers use us.
Software CompanSoftware Provider
I have worked with this client for 3 years raising a large volume of invoices for consultancy delivery. We do this using their accounting software and this involves liaising with several key stakeholders including staff, clients, account managers and account payable teams across the world. Each client has their own payment portal and so this requires a separate process for each invoice.
Financial Advisor
Using my expertise in Wealth Management I support this Northwich client with the administration of products. Creating and sending legal documents to clients, initially through the post and more recently transitioning online. In addition, we created and branded a client service survey and collated replies to distribute to potential new providers.
Engineer
I worked with this client, based in Stockton Heath from the beginning of their business and mine in a more traditional PA role. Managing travel arrangements, typing up site notes and ensuring correct paperwork in place for site visits. Placing stock orders, researching, buying and distributing client Christmas gifts, and managing receipts and expenses through their banking software account.
Reflexologist
As a therapist being in clinic with clients for long days saw this Winsford client needing support with invoicing, book keeping and social media. We created and branded their social media pages, including Facebook and LinkedIn. Researched and wrote content to grow their network and also branded and wrote newsletters in Mailchimp to send to their clients.
What our Customers Say
"I have worked with Clare for over a couple of years now and I can honestly say I don’t know what I would do without her. She has become a valuable part of my business and has saved me hours upon hours of time. This has allowed me to concentrate on what I am good at and leave pretty much everything else in Clare’s capable and trusted hands.
Clare has helped me through a business re-brand, marketing, social media, and mail chimp to name but a few. I would highly recommend Clare and her services to anyone in business who simply hasn’t got enough hours in the day!!"
Nicola – Reflexologist
"Clare was recommended to me by a friend - Having just taken over a business – I was completely lost regarding social media and modern day marketing.
Clare was my saviour – what she didn’t know simply wasn’t worth knowing. I was extremely impressed at her willingness to want to understand and learn about my business so she could look at the best way to help me going forward. I would highly recommend Clare."
Duncan – Director of Town Hotel Ltd
“Clare has been doing social media for me for the last six or seven months and it is an absolute pleasure working with her. She is 100% reliable and I completely trust that what she says she’ll do she’ll do! What I love particularly is the research she did for the posts and how she found my voice! And she communicates with me all the time. She is a delight to work with and I have absolutely no qualms recommending her."
Ann - Arbonne
"Starting up a business and having a child in the same year I found my time suddenly very stretched and much more precious. I clearly needed help. At first I was very sceptical not believing there was much Clare at Pink Spaghetti would be able to help me with but after several months I find myself relying on Clare more and more to help tick tasks off my list and allow me more time to concentrate on the revenue generating tasks. A consummate professional, very approachable and efficient Clare has become a valued member of the team."
Peter – Director of PSR Automation Ltd
