Harrison McCord Virtual has provided virtual assistance to a leading UK charity, think tanks, various academic institutions, military and government departments, including the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom and the Institute for Statecraft and Governance; dealing with various senior military, government and business personnel and departments.  As a result, they understand the need for confidentiality and discretion.

“Tina Harrison and Kathleen McCord have provided me with administrative support for over 4 years.  During that time I have come to rely upon their unfailing dedication and professionalism.  Discreet and efficient, they have ensured I have been constantly supported – from travel and meeting arrangements, document preparation, conference organisation, sub-editing and proofreading to handling of my email correspondence and managing my diaries.  I am indebted to them for their unstinting attention to detail.  Without them I know I would not have been able to operate effectively on a day-to-day basis.  They are my Chiefs of Staff – I have come to depend on their services; they are quite invaluable.”

“Tina Harrison and Kathleen McCord are two of the most impressive professionals with whom I have had the pleasure to work.  My professional commitments are extensive and complicated.  Tina and Kathleen have given me unstinting support that has eased my path on many occasions.  They both have a self-starter, problem solving approach that ensures the administrative burden is not only lifted but managed par excellence.  They have pioneered the concept of distance administrative and IT support and it is my firm belief that this exciting new venture will prove an outstanding success.  I have every intention of availing myself of their excellent service, which I commend without hesitation.”

“Harrison McCord Virtual is one of those rare companies which combines professionalism, attention to detail, a commitment to meeting deadlines, a dedication to excellence, and complete confidentiality.  This convergence of top-level skills & workplace ethics makes it a pleasure to work with them.  As an Adviser and Researcher working across defence and security architecture, complete confidentiality is critical to the process.  Harrison McCord Virtual has proved itself effective in maintaining that level of confidentiality whilst delivering to deadlines with consummate professionalism.  In my experience, this level of expertise, with such a broad canvas of complementary business skills as part of the package is a rare commodity.  As well, having engaged Harrison McCord Virtual for both professional defence work, and also on a private project, their flexibility to deliver demonstrates a level of adaptive capability which is seldom normative across the industry.  In short, Tina Harrison and Kathleen McCord are first-rate professionals.”

“Kathleen ‘McCanDo’ worked with me at the British mission in Brussels.  Actually, she did most of my work for me, before I’d thought of doing it.  She was efficient like a German washing machine, never needed maintenance, completed stuff ahead of schedule and in better shape than I deserved.  She could swing appointments with busy people who would seldom agree to see normal mortals.  Everyone liked and respected her, the epitome of discretion.  And then she went away to work somewhere else, so the world came to an end.”
Roger JA Golland, Counsellor Political, Brussels, 1999-2001.

“We realised that we have come to take what you do for granted because your support is so totally reliable.  I resolved to drop you a note to say “Thank you” so much for all the support you and Kathleen have given us over the last three years.  As a very busy small consultancy business we really can’t afford to employ full time all the services you provide; PA, event organizer, travel agent, stranded client recovery and general business ‘concierge’.  It took a bit of getting used to having virtual support (it’s an age thing) but I’m a convert now.”

“Tina worked with me at the Corporate Finance department of Svenska Handelsbanken for over 5 years.  She was involved in the preparation of highly confidential documents including information memoranda, marketing and information presentations and ongoing liaison with clients and team members.  Tina also arranged travel and entertainment for the department and its clients and, on occasion, conferences and seminars.  She was extremely efficient and intelligent in her work, which was constructive in the high pressure and fast moving environment of corporate finance.  In addition, she was an enjoyable and friendly person to work with!  I would highly recommend her to any person or company seeking her services with Harrison McCord Virtual and would be very happy to work with her again.”
