About Sharon Vickery

About Me

Hello, and thank you for visiting my website, here is a little flavour about me and my path to becoming a Virtual Assistant.

Having worked in several different industries following our family move to Devon in 1984 from Surrey, all of which have had an anchor in an office environment with administration duties and line management. These included:

  • Insurance
  • Personal Credit
  • Leisure Industry in Holiday Parks
  • Local Government
  • Recruitment
  • Health & Social Care
  • Local Manufacturing firm

Administrative Maestro

With the confidence in my transferable skills, Sharon Vickery Virtual Assistant was established in November 2017 and so far I have had to pleasure of working with, and supporting over 40 different businesses with a variety of services including minute taking, diary management, transcription, communications and so much more.

The reason we moved to Devon though, was because my parents bought a pub! They ran this very successfully for 18 years and I always played my part there either in a full time or part time capacity, managing the bar and external bars for various functions.

Personally, I live in Exeter but support businesses all over the country which I enjoy immensely as I like nothing more than to see them grow with my support. I enjoy walking my dog, Freddie who is my best buddy and office dog! Mother to one son and Nanna to my four gorgeous grandchildren who I love spending time with.

Former trustee of grass routes charity The Last Kiss Foundation who I still support with their invaluable services to families who go through the heart breaking ordeal of loosing a baby prematurely.

Also, a black belt in the martial art Tae Kwon Do and train with the Exeter Eagles.

I do like to get out of the home office when time allows to do a bit of networking with local business owners and am a member of the fastest growing networking company Your Partnerships.

Testimonials

Camilla Todd

Operations Director, WNW Digital

Sharon was extremely easy to work with and picked up a CRM system that was new to her extremely quickly. She worked fast, efficiently, and was very pleasant to work with all round! It’s very reassuring to have her as a contact for future work when needed, and we would highly recommend her to other businesses.

Dr Sarah Bryan

SB Holistic

Before I started working with Sharon, my fiddly admin jobs were mounting up. After just a month of working with her, we have achieved loads and it feels like a huge relief. She is very adaptable, follows instructions carefully, has a lot of common sense and keeps everything simple. Thank you Sharon!

Jonathan Haigh

Sharon took on typing up 35,000 words of hand-written notes, and delivered them quickly and accurately. Her status reports and general communications were very clear and helpful. Great to have her to take on a chore I was dreading!

Mike Lister

Photographer

Sharon wrote copy for my website and took care of some day to day admin for me. As a small business this meant I was able to focus on other activities.

Dr Andrew Bradford

Thoughtdoctor

Sharon is professional and works well independently. She picked up health related systems and vocabulary efficiently. Her services saved me a lot of time. I would recommend her.

Steve Richards

Veteran & Counsellor

Sharon Vickery runs an efficient and professional virtual office support service for business. I have been impressed by her speed and quick turn around. I have no hesitation highly recommending her as a person and her excellent service. I live a significant distance from her home base and she manages all my business needs online. A 5 star service from a 5 star person. Many thanks Sharon.

Gabi Humphries

CEO, Driving Dynamix

Sharon is my "right hand woman" - I do not know how I would manage my driving school without her. Well, the simple answer is, with great difficulty. Sharon takes as much pride in my business as I do myself - she knows how each pupil is doing and is happy to communicate with them both by phone and email; she manages to schedule all the different availability of my clients into my diary and keeps it all up to date. She is organised and calm, professional and a huge asset to me. I highly recommend her to anyone thinking they might benefit from doing less admin so as to concentrate more on the things one is good at!

Jon Iacomino

BBX Devon & Your Partnership Exeter & East Devon

Sharon is a diligent, hard-working individual with a high level of standards in all the work she does. She has carried out many roles for me and whatever the work is, she carries out the task with the same level of care and enthusiasm.

Strongly recommend her whether you are looking for VA, organiser, data processer, sales lead generator or social media marketer.

Simon Hall

Will Writer & Legacy Planner

Sharon and I connected through business networking many years ago. The point that I have observed about Sharon is her consistency and sticking to task. Furthermore I have watched her home based VPA business grow and thrive.

Both professionally and personally I have found Sharon approachable, reliable and someone who would see the job through.

Think VPA, think Sharon Vickery.

Grant Forrest

CEO, Parish Giving Scheme

Sharon is an exceptional virtual assistant. For the last year or Sharon has produced our Charity Board Minutes. They are consistently produced with exceptional clarity, accurate representation of the meetings, and importantly, the trustees have affirmed they are correct minutes every time without having to make any edits. By using an external minute taker, it increases our capacity as a team to achieve other priorities. Always a fast turnaround, even on our more complicated meetings. I'd highly recommend Sharon.
