I’m Clare, the founder and director of UK Ducks In A Row Ltd.
Before I launched my virtual assistance business during the global pandemic I knew that there were opportunities in the virtual world. However, I totally underestimated just how much demand there would be for these types of services.
In 2020 I set up Clare Lucas Real Business Solutions, offering virtual assistance to business owners. Within a year I was working at full capacity and quickly realised that I needed to grow a team. So I did. I’ve grown a team of amazingly talented individuals whose skill sets complement mine.
Clare Lucas Real Business Solutions morphed into much more than a traditional virtual assistance business that many think of as, well, admin. I’ve been able to utilise my project, business, and event management skills and now run a monthly membership for start ups.
We now don’t work solely with businesses. We work with businesses, charities, CIC’s and film productions.
The business organically evolved and after strategy and planning sessions UK Ducks In A Row was born.
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&apos;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.
<h4>We make outsourcing easy.</h4>
