The origin story of The VA HQ begins with our adventures as solo travellers. Aleasha and Sheila first crossed paths in Ghana and have been travel buddies ever since. As luck would have it, we met Thaakirah the following year in Cape Town, and as our friendship blossomed, we soon realised we have a unique yet complimentary mix of skills in design, marketing and administration. This was the light bulb moment that led us to launch The VA HQ, our international virtual assistant agency!
When you work with us, you’re not simply outsourcing tasks; you’re tapping into the priceless knowledge we gained from our diverse backgrounds, travel experiences and industry expertise to implement innovative workflow solutions that maximise the efficiency of your business.
