Welcome to The Secretary Bird website
I'm Fiona Flowerdew, the Secretary Bird. So many of us have been made redundant in the current economy, our knowledge, expertise and experience lost to the business world. We think it's the end, but in fact it's only the beginning, and find ourselves starting our own business and becoming entrepreneurs.
"OUTSOURCE" - it's the way to solve your time-management problems!
Are you a coach, seminar leader, author, online marketer, small business owner or entrepreneur, and find yourself working on every aspect of your business, including mundane tasks that do not bring in the money? Tasks such as transcribing audio files to word documents, typing manuscripts, researching, and e-book design, can eat into your business day. Yes, it's hard to relinquish control, but if you outsource this work to someone else, you could save hours of your valuable time, make the best use of your day and focus your attention on money-making opportunities.
As your virtual assistant, my office is open 24/7. I have many years' experience in the graphic design and customer service industry, and am able to take on those tasks that will free up your time as a business owner and entrepreneur. See what I can do for you here.
I lend support for you and your business via the internet. Imagine - no equipment or office space required, no staff training needed, no staff absenteeism due to family problems, illness or transport strikes, no taxes or benefits to pay, and hourly rates when the work is needed - much cheaper than hiring a temp.
English is my first language and my first love. I am based in England, but we don't have to be in the same town, or even in the same country, that's the beauty of the internet and a virtual office!
We'll communicate primarily by e-mail, or even traditional snail-mail. You can send me data via either of the above, mp3 or saved on memory stick, CD or other online and electronic systems.
Your work is sent back by any of the above and in most PC formats/programs
including Word, CorelDraw, and Adobe Acrobat (.pdf).
Easier - Faster - Less Expensive - Virtually Effortless!

Payment methods
For all new clients I require a 50% deposit.
I use Paypal, a secure and verified site. You don't have to sign up to PayPal, simply use your credit / debit card as usual. I will provide the links, you click and pay.
Final invoices will be sent with the completed assignment.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to set up accounts at this stage.
My commitment to you / Privacy Policy
All work will be carried out in the strictest confidence, efficiently and to deadline.
I use the information you provide about yourself when placing an order only to complete that order.
I do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order, and only with your permission.
I use return email addresses to answer the email I receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties - ever.
Finally, I never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to me online in ways unrelated to the ones described above.
No job too big or too small!
I look forward to hearing from you, and being of service in the very near future.
