VOMnet-UK is building a network of Virtual Assistants across the globe to support small businesses in the North West who want to expand into other countries such as Spain, Portugal and Australia. As a company, I advertise in Spain, have contacts in all three countries and can join up with another network in Australia.
To find the right kind of talented people to service this network I developed
'VA's That Lunch', and we met in a local restaurant for the first time last year. As we are busy people this obviously was not going to last, so this year I took 'VA's That Lunch' online using Skype for group conversations.
However, last week we joined a Women's Networking site called
Be Fabulous, where we have our own forum in the Member's Area 'Fabulous VA's That Lunch' and can support almost 800 other women with their own small businesses. It has been quite a year, and although we are struggling in the recession it looks as if there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Why am I here? I found
SECNET when I Googled looking for a Virtual Assistant in the Bristol area for one of my clients and hey presto, my networking empire has yet again brought me to a lively group of hard working people.
You can follow me on Twitter and Facebook and keep up with all the things that I am doing, and perhaps you will find something with which you might like me to assist.

If you are interested, all I ask is that you complete an Application Process and take advantage of Freelance Contracts and access to Professional Indemnity and Public Liability Insurances. You must have made every effort to have secured your own Professional Indemnity Insurance if resident in the UK.

Thanks for joining in the forum fum.
