Dear Theo

140 characters just aren't enough for two women on a mission, to make the workplace accessible for parents, those with illnesses & disabilities and older people who aren't quite ready to retire. Please take a moment to read about the idea behind Occasional Assistants and we hope that you will feel that we are worthy of the #SBS retweet that would mean so much to our growing business.

Freelancing has worked for us for some years and we're passionate about introducing it as a realistic option for people who are unable or unwilling to work in a more traditional manner. There's an army of experienced and capable individuals out there who can't work in a contracted or full time role but whose skill-set is immense. We want to help them back to work by advertising their services in one giant free-to-access online database.

With the economic climate as it is, we have identified so many small businesses who may not yet be ready to take on permanent staff but who would benefit from an experienced marketeer / book-keeper / admin assistant who they can call on as and when the need arises. Better still, we don't charge any agency fees so they're free to contact their Occasional Assistant directly, with no additional costs.

Thanks for your time & have a great week,

Sarah & Beckie
