A bit about me & my business... I'm Alison Powrie, I live in gorgeous East Perthshire with my husband, teenage boys (I know..) The Sorting Office provides Business Support including Administration, Marketing and Social Media support as well as all aspects of events organisation and management.
For many years, I worked in the legal profession where I learnt numerous transferable skills, including
communication skills and working to tight time schedules, as well as the importance of confidentiality and accuracy of work.
I currently work with a number of third sector organisations, both locally in East Perthshire and Angus, and further afield, providing a range of admin, marketing and communication support services, tailored to suit their individual needs. My clients come from a variety of backgrounds, including enterprise support, tourism, and the arts – meaning that no two days are the same!
I am passionate about supporting small businesses and organisations, and love working through the challenges which this brings.
My approach is always professional, but also friendly and flexible. All tasks are approached with good humour and a "can do" attitude. Once a task is delegated to me, you can be sure that I will take it on fully and complete it efficiently. I am willing and able to tackle many different areas of work, and I love a challenge. If I feel that I really can't help you out with something I will say so - and will probably be able to put you in touch with someone who can.
I can work on a flexible basis as and when required – one-off or ongoing to suit client needs and budgets. As I am self-employed, this saves clients the hassle of dealing with the headaches which come with employing staff. I can work from my own office or travel - whatever suits. Get in touch if you want to find out more - I'm always happy to be distracted by chatting to other small business people and hearing about their story. Oh and very importantly - the kettle is always on!
