What Our Clients Say?
Below are some testimonials from clients we’ve had the pleasure of working with over the years. Read in their own words what they have to say about their experience of using the typing services provided by Virtual Office Solutions.
I am happy to confirm that I have been availing of the services offered by Bernie McCullough and her team at Virtual Office Solutions for in excess of the last 15 years. My requirements fluctuate from requiring letters, Advice on Proofs, Memos in relation to Case Notes, and not infrequently require that the turnaround time to be overnight or indeed even shorter during the course of a day. Bernie and her team have become absolutely indispensable to me in the context of trying to run a practice, and I have become dependent upon the service they offer. I have never found anything other than a can-do attitude from Bernie and her team. In short, I would quite simply be lost without the service that is offered to me by Bernie and her team.

Maighread Kelly
Management Consultant
VOS has been a valued and highly appreciated support service to our company for over 10 years. The speed, accuracy and professionalism are always of a very high standard. The terminology used in Ireland’s construction, legal and insurance sectors where we operate is very specific and the VOS team has always had an excellent understanding of it all. Our company operates a standard report template and it’s great to have the VOS team format their typing to this template to save time on our side. I’m more than happy to recommend Bernie and her team.

I am a barrister. I have enjoyed the benefit of the excellent service provided by VOS for more than 5 years. The system of sending audio files by email and receiving word documents in return works conveniently and efficiently. Formatting is as requested and can be amended if required. Typing is accurate and mistake free. Normal speed of turnaround is less than a working day. If necessary, even faster can be arranged. Charges are entirely reasonable and clearly recorded and detailed in monthly invoices. I have no hesitation in recommending VOS.
