Since establishing her business in July 2005, Emma is passionate about the industry and is always on a mission to educate people. Always wanting to help her fellow Virtual Assistants, Emma wrote her first e-book, ‘So you want to become a Virtual Assistant', as she felt there was a gap in the market for information relating to starting and operating a business – specifically aimed at the UK Virtual Assistant.

In April 2008, Emma was recognised as an outstanding VA and received the Runner Up prize for the National VA of the Year 2008 (in business over 18 months category) awards held at the National VA Conference in Milton Keynes.

 

Emma enjoys running her businesses around her young daughter meaning that she gets to spend time watching her grow and develop into an amazing little girl who is a true inspiration for everything her mum does!

 

Justine Curtis - Co-Founder   Justine is the founder and chairman of The UK Association of Virtual Assistants (UKAVA). The UKAVA was formed in 2005 to fill a void in the virtual assistant market. Virtual assistants were becoming more and more in demand as small businesses and sole traders flourished but there was no real association where prospective clients or existing and new virtual assistants could go for information, advice and recommendations.

 

What the industry needed was a one-stop shop for both potential clients and virtual assistants alike - the UKAVA was born. The UKAVA has gone on to become the number one resource for Virtual Assistants wishing to advertise their services to potential clients, and for potential clients looking for their perfect business partner.

Justine is also the founder and Director of My Virtual Assistant. My Virtual Assistant is a flourishing virtual office service operating across the UK providing virtual office support, personal assistance, secretarial, business support and administration services to entrepreneurs and small businesses. For more information see www.my-va.com

Justine is proud to be able to pass on the benefits of her vast experience of the VA role to aspiring and progressive VAs as a Co-Founder of the VA Success Group and Group Leader of the inspirational and exciting VA Entrepreneurs Group.

 

In her spare time Justine enjoys sailing, diving, horse riding, yoga, driving fast cars around racetracks, watching Formula 1 Motor Racing and raising money for charities including The Mango Tree and Oxfam.
