I’m Clare, the founder and director of UK Ducks In A Row Ltd. I spent over a decade in the travel industry and the same amount of time in local government.  My diverse background gives me a unique outlook on how businesses run and how to serve clients effectively. Motivated by the opportunity that the Covid-19 pandemic presented for increasing demand for virtual assistance I embraced entrepreneurship. Drawing on my expertise in project, business, and event management, I set up UK Ducks In A Row, an Outsourcing Agency that ensures that clients receive exceptional customer service and support tailored to their unique needs.  What's more, I deliver a professional and personable service with integrity and a positive approach. Why Ducks In A Row? Because we help you get your ducks in a row no matter what organisation you work for. We help get processes, procedures, and admin streamlined. We get your ducks in a row to make planning, projects, and events run smoothly. My business has been through a period of rapid growth which is why I and the team are so well-equipped to assist and support businesses with their growth. It's this reason that The Productivity Club was born. We are outsourcing specialists for all of your projects, events, business, and administration needs. We call upon excellent partners in our network for service areas we don’t offer in-house. If you are looking for a videographer, photographer, digital expert, outsourced HR specialist, business finance, or something else, we’ve got you covered. We make outsourcing easy.
