Maybe it's just me, but I'm struggling to find anything resembling a decent freelance VA in the UK. I'd prefer to work with an individual who I can get to know, rather than a company which seems to be the only sort of thing I can find.
If anyone knows a good place to look, or knows an awesome VA, or is in fact an awesome VA themselves, do tell!
Details: I'm looking for someone to just generally help out really. Organising emails, updating blogs, researching prospects, trying to stop me from running out of business cards before remembering to order new ones, things like that đ

I considered going through a job site like the suggested vWorker (thanks Adam) and various others, but ideally I'd prefer to work with someone local so in the end I braced myself for the onslaught of spam replies and put up an ad on Gumtree.
I have found someone, the downside is that she's just setting up her freelance business so no doubt we'll hit certain speedbumps that wouldn't happen with someone who's been in business for a while. The upsides being that new freelancers don't charge as much, and she has all the relevant experience.
I think I prefer this arrangement to hiring someone really experienced and overly formal. We'll see how it goes. :happy - Contact in PM

Hi Michelle,
I am from the NW (Cumbria) and just looking at starting up as a freelance VA, if you are still looking for someone I would be very willing to discuss options with you. Please feel free to drop me an email.
Kind regards
Kerry.
