				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are currently looking at our website and will be making a few &#8220;tweaks&#8221; over the coming week.</p>
<p>In a fast moving world of work, <a href="http://www.essential-va.com">ESSENTIAL VA</a> understand the importance of being able to get responses to queries and questions as soon as possible.  We are therefore very excited to announce that we will be adding a LIVE CHAT option to our website. </p>
<p>Got any questions about our services? Need more details? Or have a specific deadline to be met and want to make sure we can meet this?  Simple.  You&#8217;ll be able to chat to EVA, our online virtual assistant, and in the majority of cases she will be able to answer your queries straight away!  Get a real-time response.</p>
<p>We will let you know later this week when the new additions to the site are added.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget though&#8230;we are also at the end of the <a href="tel:01884821975">TELEPHONE</a>, ready to help, if you prefer to speak to someone in person!</p>
<p>Best wishes<br />
