"My REA has proved to be extremely valuable for our business. Her responsiveness, attention to detail and willingness to meet deadlines and assist us wherever she can have been exceptional. Using Brickwork also gives us access to people with other skills that my REA has utilized to carry out work for us, removing any requirement for us to manage multiple contacts."

"Thank you very much for all of your hard work! The result is useful for me in my business and I will use it to continue to grow the company. Communication is excellent - you asked questions when you did not understand until you understood. Great availability - you were available every workday by email and Skype.Those of you that I interacted with are all polite and professional. Daily reporting is very important to efficient work - I appreciated that because I knew that the most time that could possibly be spent going in a direction that I did not intend was one day. I would recommend your services to my friends."

"I was reasonably happy with your work on my stock exchange project. You were able to provide some good ideas on how to rank the sites and how the questions should be worded. As I am intending to complete the project soon and am happy to use you again you can take that as positive feedback. I also found you pleasant to work with."

"We appreciate the REAs efforts.

She does well in trying to understand each assignment and notifying us of times when additional information is needed or if further instruction should be given - all while maintaining a friendly demeanor. During the last month, its evidenced by her work that she is continuing to learn our procedures and becoming better at using our systems. Our hope to continue to have her learn our procedures and systems to the point where she is able to recommend better ways to accomplish tasks and amend our procedures in areas that may be lacking.

Additionally, our REA did a good job on a recent project and we liked how she asked questions as to points we had failed to address. Sometimes we are not as clear as we need to be, but we like responding such questions as such questions show interest and initiative.

We continue to be excited to have her assisting us and to seeing what more she can offer us. Thanks."

"Having read both ‘The World is Flat’ and ‘The Four Hour Work Week’ it was clear to me that there were choices available to me regarding assistants that I had not previously considered. One of these choices was Brickwork, a company located in Bangalore, India. Over the past twenty-five years, I have always gone the traditional route, having had one of more personal, full-time assistants. In 2008, this changed. I hired Brickwork and could not possibly be more pleased. My assigned assistant was an absolute delight. Apart from being perfectly capable of handling my assignments, she was also always extremely polite and respectful. We communicated via Skype by voice or instant message and regular e-mail. Her questions were concise and to the point. My questions and projects were handled quickly and professionally. For me, the time difference was a great advantage. We spoke at the end of my business day. It was the beginning of hers. I slept, while my assistant worked. When I awoke the next morning, an e-mail was waiting in my in-box with the work that had been completed. Excellent! "

"The ability to rapidly add competent remote staff with little or no HR and management overhead is a huge win for our organization.  In a year of working with Brickwork we have found the relationship to be extremely beneficial and plan to increase the size of our outsourced staffing in both executive assistant and IT roles.  Any company looking to rapidly adjust to increased staffing needs while simplifying their payroll should give them a call. "

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank my REA and the Brickwork team for an outstanding job on this project.  I have been VERY happy with what you have achieved, and have no hesitation in using your services again.  In fact, I have referred your company onto another college of mine here last week, so hopefully she will contact you with some work."

MY REA, is simply the best !

“My REA is an asset to anyone she works with.”  Top qualities: Great Results, On Time, High Integrity

“My current REA is a recent replacement and she has comfortably exceeded all areas of her predecessor’s output. In particular I would like to note;

Timeliness/ prompt working:
She has turned around tasks overnight without exception. 

Capabilities:
She has effected marketing data retrieval to a high standard enabling swift creation of Go To Market plans. On regional basis these have covered Russia CIS and Middle Eastern territories and a technology basis the emergent trends in telecoms products including In Flight phones.

Productivity & Reporting:
The hours spent on each task have been very reasonable and occasionally less than I have expected.  There has been a good level of reporting of time spent delivered unsolicited at regular intervals & always available on request.

Flexibility:
I have asked a range of tasks to be completed by her, none of which has been rejected. On some more advanced IT tasks, she has enlisted the help of her colleagues to get work completed.
In summary, she has exceeded my expectations with and I look forward to continuing her services in the future.

Brickworks: Although the contract negotiation was a little slow & painful, I persevered due the quality of the recommendations from clients.  I have not been disappointed with the service delivered which has now come to be part of my indespensable routine.   Work progresses whilst I sleep with high quality deliverables received next day.  Projects long neglected have been rejuvenated and productivity has increased. When problems have occurred there has been back up and resilience to help achieve the task. I look forward to extending my relationship of services from Brickworks into other high value areas including Web Design in the forthcoming months.”
