Let us share the load.

There’s nothing worse than worrying about the amount of admin that needs to be done.

So don’t. Call us, and let our professionals quickly share the load.

Our secretarial service provides a fast, outsourced solution to meeting administrative demand. All work is processed in-house, quickly and confidentially.

Our employees all possess (OCR) RSA word Processing stage III to ensure consistency, accuracy and speed.

For several clients, our service offers a more cost effective alternative than employing a full-time secretary. We can help with:

Word Processing

Letters, memos, reports, journals or even complete procedure manuals. We’ll supply you with professionally finished documents, formatted to comply with any corporate guidelines or layouts.

Audio Transcription

Trust us to transcribe accurately from standard audio, micro or mini cassettes or DSS and WAV digital files. Once transcribed, your work can be emailed, faxed or posted.

Transcription is a specialist skill - the time it takes depends on several factors.

  • The quality of the recording
  • The clarity of the voices on the tape
  • The number of people speaking
  • The speed at which they are talking
  • Whether they speak in coherent sentences
  • The degree of regional accents
  • The amount of technical terms involved
  • The position and number of microphones used

The industry standard allows ONE hour to transcribe 15 minutes of clearly recorded speech. It takes a MINIMUM of 4 hours to transcribe a 1 hour tape - and can take as much as 6 or 8 hours.

Proof Reading

Checking proofs is a tedious but critical task. Modern computer spellcheckers are useful - but are certainly no substitute for an experienced copy reviewer. We can provide either a straight proof reading service or make corrections to copy on disk or hard copy, or both.

We can:-

  • Check and correct spelling, punctuation, grammar, and general English errors
  • Check and highlight problems in page layout and markup copy
  • Check against specifications for typesetting
  • Check and query errors or inconsistencies in style and content
  • Check for overall sense and clarity

A speedy turnaround for your handwritten notes. Post your dissertation/thesis to us and we will produce a printed hard copy or return a digital file via email.

We also offer competitive discounts on our prices for all students - please contact us for details.

CVs/Resumes

The aim of a CV is to secure an interview not a job. A CV which is too long will never be read by an employer. Personal, professional or academic, a CV must be concise, informative and clearly written.

We offer a simple service to type your CV to your requirements. Or, if you wish, we can advise on layout and content too. We offer duplication on a variety of papers, and supply a copy on disk or as an email attachment. We prepare job application letters too, together with addressed envelopes.

If you need to deliver a lecture or a presentation, but don’t have the facility to produce A4 overheads, handouts or slide shows, let us turn your notes into a PowerPoint presentation. We can provide the finished presentation on CD.
