The Assistant Quarters Team
A ready made team for all your business support needs
When you choose us to back you up in business, you’ll get access to the full team. You’ll work with the associate whose skills match your needs, and if those needs change or develop over time, there’ll be more of us here, ready and waiting to step in.
Only skilled, experienced, confident, proactive VAs and OBMs make it into the Assistant Quarters team.
And every member is encouraged to own and celebrate their individual zones of genius, creating a diverse skills base within the team.
We’re here to collaborate with you, looking for ways to streamline, simplify and achieve better results.
Think of us as partners; a team you can totally rely on.
The team is made up of a handful of regular members, plus a network of specialist service-providers we can call on when our clients need them.
