Complete business support services

When people think of outsourcing or engaging a Virtual Assistant, they often imagine a faceless clerical association.  Working with The Cottage Office team is in fact very different.  You get a specialised and highly personalised support service that truly meets your unique needs.  With the individual attention and committment paid to your tasks and projects that you yourself would give – ensuring quality results.

We’re proficient in project management and can bring those skills to bear on anything you need help with, from managing your diary to organising your business processes for maximum efficiency, and even planning and implementing an entire internet marketing strategy.

You’ll find us friendly, professional and easy to work with – able to take on the tasks you want us to.  We’ll work with you to fully understand your goals and help you achieve them.
