The parent company was registered at Companies House in May 2005 and dealt uniquely with the administrative needs of local businesses.
Our reputation for exceptional work soon led to demand from further afield in the UK and USA.
The global aspect of the business was made possible because Rhianne realised that the move to Software as a Service (SaaS) was crucial to the way the business could function.
Over the past two and a half years involvement in Social Media has provided opportunities for reinstating skills which Rhianne first used in 1998 when she became involved in the moderation of an on-line gaming/chat platform built by Warner Bros for the Harry Potter series of movies.
Social Media Facilitation, Management and Moderation, is now one of the highest demands on our time.
We work with people, businesses and entrepreneurs in a virtual environment harnessing the power of cloud computing, that is why we call ourselves 'Virtual Assistants'.
This is what people say about our work, our standards and their levels of satisfaction:
"Rhianne understands that a book is a commercial undertaking for both the writer and the publisher and it will not reach its potential sales if the target market is not aware of it.
The level of input has been invaluable. The recommendations for engagement in Social Media have helped to raise the brand profile and this has attracted renewed interest in my book."
Gillian Morgan Books, Haverfordwest. Hired Virtual Assistants in Wales (PBS Ltd), to raise brand awareness via Social Media. Spring 2011. A successful campaign prompted a further 9 month contract.
"This is an exceptional service. The project in question had been left undone for far too long, so bringing in Rhianne to 'make it happen' was fantastic. She just got on with the job without needing time from our busy employees."

Mike Briercliffe, Briercliffe Associates, hired Rhianne as a Business Consultant in 2005 and beyond.
“Because Rhianne keeps all the general administrative activities of the business running smoothly I am free to concentrate on delivering new innovations to the marketplace where otherwise I would be bogged down. Rhianne provides Virtuity with a range of vital services from her office, not ours, at a fraction of the cost of a dedicated, PAYE resource. I wouldn't have it any other way now.”

Dave Brooker, Virtuity Ltd, hired Rhianne's Business Administration Services in 2008.
"Rhianne was there at the start of setting the company up in its new offices and she dealt with all of our early needs. She helped us with recruitment, finance, accounts and some marketing too. We're now a larger company with permanent staff, but the help at the start that she gave us was really important to getting the company established. I'd recommend her to anyone who needs help with their start-up business. She's also good at adapting her services for project purposes in companies that are more well established. A great person to have on your team.”
