Testimonials
"Quotes from current clients"
"I am thrilled to be able to write this recommendation on behalf of Urbane Sojourners. At Prestige Productions, we produce and promote theatre productions. We have grown quite rapidly over the past few years and required some additional resource to help assist with various admin tasks. We therefore decided to get in contact with Urbane Sojourners to do this virtual admin work for us.
​
Jo is enthusiastic and motived, she stays in contact with me daily, she completes her tasks ahead of the deadlines and she consistently goes over and above what is required. Jo does her work to an incredibly high standard of excellence, and she is making a valuable contribution to our company. The only downside of working with Urbane Sojourners is feeling a little jealous of the beautiful views from her virtual office 😊. Honestly though, regardless of whether she is on a train, bus, boat or in a comfortable hotel on her travels, she never misses a beat.
​I would highly recommend Urbane Sojourners to any company wanting to employ a virtual assistant." Laura Macdougald,
Finance and International Tours Executive - Prestige Productions Ltd
