Hello ! my name is Sharon Matthews, and I live in Kent, with my husband and two border terriers, who love the walks along the White Cliffs and of course the seaside gambolling we get to do on a regular basis. When not walking or playing on the beach I love to read - fiction mostly and mainly murder mysteries, and love watching medical dramas and "how to fix up your house" type programmes.

I am a highly organised and efficient Freelance Administrator/Virtual Assistant with over 20 years' experience. Since starting my working life, I’ve worked for both large corporate and small businesses providing executive administrative and office management support, all within very different industries.  I have also worked for the NHS in administration and also as patient advocate/ complaints manager. 

In 2020 I decided to set up ApricotVA and offer my administration services on a freelance basis. My aim and purpose being to help small businesses and individuals find more time in their day by taking on and managing their admin work which frees up their time to do what they do best.

I work closely with my clients to understand their requirements and needs, together developing a flexible and bespoke admin solution and package that works, whether that be on an hourly, monthly or ad-hoc basis.  Working this way my clients save money by improving their efficiency and having the assistance needed only when its required and they don't have to take on the extra costs of having a full-time member of staff or consider office space.

The support I provide can be either remote (using my own equipment in my own home office) or at your premises (or a mixture of the two!)

To find out more about some of the services I offer and how I can help you please contact me to arrange a free, no obligation 30-minute call where we can discuss your requirements in more detail
