I was looking at my calendar and realised that the 15th anniversary of my business is just over a week away. 24th March marks the day I registered my business in 1994 – 15 years ago. I can’t believe how fast that time has flown.
I know that many are still learning that our industry exists but there are thousands out there who have joined our industry to utilise their skills and change their lifestyles over the years. It has been my pleasure and good fortune to have watched our industry grow from its birth.
My team of VAs has grown considerably during that time and I’m delighted that there are twelve members who have been with me for between 8 and 13 years – in the corporate world that’s a long time in the one job! Indeed, this is the longest I’ve ever stayed in the one position during my working life – the boss and I must be getting along ok! 😉
I wish to personally thank the following team members for their support, friendship and professionalism as both team members and as industry associates.
Linda Anderson, Mary Jordon, etc, Ruth McIntosh, Sue Stott, Lyn Prowse-Bishop, Maria Zito, Leonie Cavill, Eunice Wingrove, Jenny Underwood, Marilyn James and Anita Kilkenny.
Each of these can be found on my main website if you use the search function.

Congratulations Kathie! That’s a real milestone and something to be proud of. I’ve been honoured to be a member of ACS since I started nearly 10 years ago and have learned a lot from you. I appreciate your friendship – and the occasional use of you as a sounding board! – and have always admired your professionalism and work in the industry.
Cheers
Lyn Prowse-Bishop, MVA ASO CAVB
