Virtual Assistant Teesside
Hi, I am Carole Bookless, and I am the owner of Pink Spaghetti Teeside. I live in Teesside and my hometown is Newcastle-upon-Tyne, I definitely love all the North-East.
We provide business support covering all aspects of running a business or busy life, including social media, marketing, sales, business development, project management and other admin support services such as book-keeping, credit control etc. Offering cost effective and professional virtual assistant services to businesses, busy professionals, individuals, voluntary and community organisations.
We are a capable pair of hands allowing you to use your precious time to grow your business or maybe simply to spend time doing what you love.
Why Me
With more than 25 years’ experience in senior management with global organisations and a running a local family business, I understand the daily challenges of running a business.
Respected by clients and colleagues, I am a trustworthy results-driven person who is always willing to go the ‘extra mile’ by providing excellent service and offering support to both clients and colleagues. Providing a spare pair/s of hands as a virtual assistant, either on an ad-hoc basis, regular contract or retainer, I will always give:
High standards - Aiming for meticulous attention to detail, consistently striving for the highest quality and accuracy of delivery.
Organisation - Extremely well organised with excellent time and project management skills with the proven ability to skilfully prioritise conflicting and competing deliverables from multiple departments.
Interpersonal - A genuine ‘hands on’ team player, always willing to get stuck in!
Ethos - Honesty, openness and professional respect are an always!
No task is too small. And I love a challenge.
Why a virtual assistant?
A virtual assistant does not just cover the traditional diary management and minute taking tasks, we are more of a virtual personal assistant, a clone of you as the business owner, getting through the tasks you don’t want to do, don’t have the time or the inclination to do. We are used to working with people who are amazing entrepreneurs, but by outsourcing and delegating their tasks, the time it frees up allows them to focus on what they are great at.
Using a virtual assistant is a cost-effective way of adding resource into your business. No holiday or sick pay, no tax, NI or pension costs, you don't pay for coffee breaks or office chat, and we are already trained in the things you need done. We offer either a "pick up, put down" hourly rate, or retainer agreements from just 4 hours a month for something more stable - 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, and this means I have all these great people to call on. So, if I don't know the answer to something, there is always someone to ask to help. They are such a lovely bunch of friendly people and they can help if large projects come in, or cover through holidays and sickness. This means, for you, resource is always there even when I am not.
At Pink Spaghetti we appreciate how much there is to do - we are small business owners too! We are a friendly, approachable and humble bunch and enjoy becoming part of your team for as much or as little time as you need us. Our clients enjoy outsourcing to us without the hassle of employing.
A range of Virtual PA Services
The tasks we carry out are as varied as our customers! They are typically administration, social media, organisation and marketing tasks and we can be seen with a pile of receipts, or setting up a CRM system. We get involved when a business owner has had something on a list for a while but never quite gets around to doing it.
