Introduction
If a member of staff is off, or your business needs extra pair of
hands when you are busy, apa
secretarial is here for you.
If you have a highly confidential piece of work that you would rather
your staff did not complete, apa secretarial can offer 100% discretion.
Please see our confidentiality rules.
Perhaps you are looking for a complete virtual secretarial service; contact us now.
While you may be miles away and not actually meet us, you will find we
are not a "faceless" service. If hiring us on a regular basis, in most
cases, you will deal with the same person, allowing you to build up a
relationship. If you employed a secretary they would quickly learn your
business's requirements and the way you do things. We believe you
should receive the same service from us.
General typing (letters, invoices, reports, surveys, etc.)
apa secretarial provide a professional service with a fast turnaround time -
depending on amount and quality - most typing is returned within the
same day. Very small amounts (for example, 10 minutes of digitally
recorded dictation) will usually be completed and returned within 1
hour of our receipt.
We can either email (or print and post) the completed documents back to
you or print, sign and post on your behalf. You can of course collect
work from our offices.
Audio transcription and copy-typing
apa secretarial can accept either handwritten or audio recorded work.
With audio typing we are happy to transcribe dictation, recorded
lectures/conferences, one-to-one interviews (having a transcript is
especially useful for any legal interviews, for example, a disciplinary), focus group meetings, etc.
Recording work to be transcribed is more complex that straight copy-typing, therefore we have
set up a separate page: click here for further information.
Advertising campaigns
If
you are planning an advertising campaign where the prospective customer
asks for more information, allow apa secretarial to handle this for
you. We can accept mail on your behalf and, if required, send out the
relevant information, keeping a list of all the customers who have
responded, record where they saw the advert, etc.
Mailshots
Perhaps
you are thinking of doing a mailshot. While the number of letters
you expect to send out is relatively small (say under 1000), and a
proper mailing house is not interested, you simply don't have the staff
nor the time to handle this in-house.
apa secretarial can handle it all: entering the customer details onto a database,
maintaining the database, printing the letters, collating the
information, enveloping, stamping and posting.
If you want to do a mailshot but do not have the relevant
printed material we can help. We do not provide the printing ourselves,
but apa secretarial has partnered with a local, established, and
reliable printing firm to be able to
provide this service.
Scanning/OCR
There is
nothing worse than spending a long time typing a document only
to find the computer has "lost" the file and you have to
retype it all.
You may be a book publisher with a book that no one has the
computer files for.
With our professional OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software we
can quickly convert typed text back into editable word processor files.
Our software also works with .pdf files.
Please
note: Before we will scan any documents, books, magazines, newspapers or
other printed media we require written confirmation that you have
authorisation from the author, or copyright holder, of the work.
