"As the outgoing Executive Manager for the NFD, I'm aware over the past 10 years how valuable it has been to have dedicated professionals assist with providing meticulous information and data; so as to provide a transparent and effective service to our stake holders. As both Minute and Note taker for the NFD Board, NFD Trust, NFD Council and other sub committee's, Jean has provided an excellent, consistent and accurate service in all the work she has been contracted for and is now considered a valuable member of the NFD 'family' of contributors."

"I am a busy person
juggling a full-time career and a business. Jean has been a great help with
managing the customer services component of my business. Whenever I ask Jean
for help, I know that it will be done and in the way that I have asked. Jean
also provides me meticulous notes so that I am kept abreast of everything.
There are also times when Jean is "one step ahead of me". Things are taken
care of without me even asking."
Ashley Wong
Operations Manager,

"Jean has been working with
me as a 'virtual PA' for the last two years and the combination of her
professionalism, knowledge and commitment is outstanding. She has
consistently turned the 'ordinary into the extraordinary'. My business
demands the highest level of presentation and clarity and Jean's experience,
eye for detail, look and style ensures that my customers experience the 'wow
factor'.
Working from a distance and
on a virtual level has proved to be an efficient use of time and an easy
process due to Jean's ability to understand the project at hand and to make
pertinent recommendations. I have often said to Jean 'you have read my
needs perfectly'. It makes me wonder how I ever managed without
her!"
Marlen Smith Consultant, Marketing WRX Ltd

small for her."

name a few."

"I met Jean Caldwell
through a colleague and as a small publishing company we have found her
services invaluable. Any time we have a work overload she has been able to
turn her hand to a variety of administrative tasks at very short notice and
for a very cost effective fee. Her computer skills are excellent and she has
also sorted out knotty document problems for us at the drop of hat. We'd
happily recommend her services."

"As a growing business
operator it is important to keep overheads low yet project an image of
success and a multi person team. Jean at PA2Go is the perfect solution. Not
only does Jean enhance my company image but with her multitude of skills I
can utilise her for a number of different roles as we develop.
Over and
above that Jean is as supportive and enthusiastic about my business as I am
and that is simply extraordinary added value. I am grateful to have her as a
member of our team at womenz.co.nz"
Katrina Winn
Director, NZ Women Ltd
"Jean has been an
invaluable asset to the Auckland Executive Club. As the club has grown, it
has been essential to have someone as capable as Jean to take full
responsibility for all administrative and secretarial activities. Jean
analysed all activities relating to the club, collated and summarised
procedures, and presented a workable "go-forward" plan, that we can all
relate to.
Jean's standard of
professionalism and excellence is highly endorsed by all the committee. Her
range of skills and positive attitude with any task given, is exceptional."
Lynne
Arminshaw Past President,
The
Auckland Executive Club
"For the last two years
Jean has been managing and overseeing all my various investment and business
back office administration; from receiving mail and emails to liaising with
key suppliers, agencies and my other professional contractors. I am able to
leave all these matters to Jean confident in the knowledge that if there is
an issue or a problem she will sort it out along with reporting to me on key
areas she feels I should be notified of.
I cannot stress enough how
much Jean's dedication, reliability, and efficiency frees me up to
concentrate on building my businesses and investments. It gives me great
peace of mind knowing that while I am driving the business forward Jean is
always actively minding the shop. She is an invaluable part of my team"
John
Bedggood Director, Rochelle Services Ltd
"With our business growing so fast and
all our resources focused on growing the business our admin had
started to get way behind and we really didn't know where to start!!
Very quickly Jean sorted
out all the back log of our accounts as well as fine tuning and updating our
admin systems so that we could then begin the process of hiring a permanent
part time administrator. With her knowledge of our business and how we work
along with her experience and background in sole charge administration Jean
was also able to assist us in vetting candidates and interviewing prospects,
helping us to find the perfect person to run the office.
We can't thank Jean enough for her
assistance, advise and input which has given us peace of mind and confidence
going forward with our business plan."
Caroline Pugh
Director, TP Plumbing
"When I needed to have some important documentation created, Jean was
totally onto it. Within a day she had transcribed, from my rough notes, all
my requirements into the correct and professional format needed. Not only is
Jean a fast and efficient PA, she has a huge resource of business experience
and computer knowledge.
Jean now manages my website
processing all enquiries, orders and product shipments; as well as all the
back-end website administration and my on-line advertising campaigns. I wish
I had contacted her sooner!"
Grant Jackson

"Jean you are fantastic,
not only do you meet all my last minute deadlines you manage to convert my
dictated recipes into language that the home cook can relate to, you are
truly indispensable."
Simon Gault
Chef, Restaurateur, Importer and Author
"In the three weeks Jean
has been helping me two mornings a week, she's been more like a fairy
godmother than a PA. She's proven very competent, with good computer skills
and the ability to take in the important points quickly and run with a job
with minimal supervision, often offering suggestions for improved systems
(but accepting a preference to do it my way when applicable). Jean is making
a real and positive contribution to our organisation."
Heather Douglas Managing
Director, Home Business New Zealand Ltd, publishers of
HomebizBuzz
"I find the contract
facility that you offer suits my type of business where your range of skills
are required regularly. Engaging your services is quite different from
employing staff and I much prefer this type of relationship.
You have a pleasant
personality, excellent skills and a can do attitude which I admire in
people."
Don Good
Managing Director,
W S Medical Ltd
"For the past 18 months
Jean has been assisting both myself and members of my team across a broad
and diverse range of projects and tasks. It has been invaluable to have a
specialised professional such as Jean ready and available to act when we
need her; often at short notice and after hours. Jean is most definitely a
valued asset of the Raynish Group"
Jenni Raynish Chief Executive, Raynish +
Partners
"I have recently used the
services Jean provides for debtor management and found her work to be very
efficient and cost effective; returning the results I wanted."
Murray Bond CEO, National
Abrasives Converting Ltd
"On occasions where there
are not enough hours in the week it is great to know that Jean can come in
on-time, when arranged, and competently reduce the administration workload.
Jean has great computer skills which means she can also work for us away
from her home office. A great service!"
