Testimonials
It is a pleasure to provide a testimonial to your work for me for some 25 years, first as a PA for 15 years and then, as I believe I must now call it, as a Virtual PA. I do so in the hope that some other busy executive may find the competent, cheerful help that I have enjoyed.
When you were a full-time 'visible' PA I found you invaluable in that role, freeing me from much that I could not encompass personally. Your photographic memory, your understanding of the 'ethos' of the matter in hand and, above all, your efficiency meant that I could safely leave you to look after my concerns when I was away on my many travels. Then, when you became 'virtual', I could - and did - leave safely with you the intricacies of handling electronic communications - which were and are mostly beyond my ability - in such a way that my correspondents felt they were still in touch with me direct.
Whether visible or invisible, your cheerful support and assistance were and are quite exceptional and for that I am really grateful.

Janet was my PA for nearly six years while I was Ministry Director at MasterSun Christian holidays. She has worked hard to keep her administrative skills up-to-date and relevant; her considerable business experience complements her skill set; her flexibility and attention to detail instil confidence in others and her professionalism and loyalty are also valuable assets. When you add in Janet’s warm personality and cheerful disposition it becomes apparent that anyone who has the opportunity to engage her PA services will be very well served.

Janet supported both my VA and coaching businesses whilst I was away on holiday over a three week period. For the first time in four years of running my own business I completely forgot about work! Janet covered my work superbly - dealing with my clients with both efficiency and care. She fully "understood" the nature of my work and represented me perfectly. I can't wait to hand over to her next time I'm out of the office...she's a treasure!

Many thanks for a task very well done. I will be calling you again!

You were a fantastic asset, and great to work with!
David Anns
Former Manager, The Bethany Children's Trust
You have been a dear friend, with fun as well as sheer efficiency, a total professional but with grace! It has been a delight to talk with you and to know that you understand precisely the point(s) being made every time. You have gone the extra mile – extra ten miles! – to help us have everything we needed…
Rt Revd Michael Baughen (former Bishop of Chester) and Mrs Myrtle Baughen
You have such ability as a caring and thoughtful administrator/organiser and this will be greatly missed…I have valued your friendship, help and advice – and laughs we have had over the phone! – as I am sure many others have too.
Rt Revd Michael Whinney (Interim Bishop of Birmingham 2006)
I want to say that you have been marvellous and, in addition to a thoroughly professional PA, you have brought to the role a wonderful Christian grace and friendliness, so helpful when seeking to support us as ministry leaders.
Revd Dr Graham Holliday (Minister: Ferndown United Baptist Church, Dorset)
Although we have never met, your cheery disposition has always made our contact both enjoyable and productive. You will be a great loss…we only wish that all the organisations we deal with had a Janet Walker at the other end of the phone.
