ABOUT
MEMBERSHIPS
My name is Shannon Douglas. I first started working as a virtual assistant in the UK in 2013 and was commonly know as the 'ad hoc VA'. I was a member of the Society of Virtual Assistants and the Alliance of UK Virtual Assistants. I returned home to New Zealand in 2015 and worked full time in administration and office management until early 2022.
With all that has transpired due to the pandemic and with many businesses struggling to keep people on their payroll, I thought about small businesses, brave start-ups, solopreneurs and tradies struggling to manage all their admin responsibilities themselves, or with little resources. I considered that many could probably do with a helping hand to take the pressure off, without having to have anyone on their payroll or other employment related costs, particularly in these current challenging times.
I also considered busy full time professionals struggling to juggle their career alongside their domestic and other lifestyle responsibilities, as well as retirees, who could also do with a helping hand managing the everyday tasks of day to day life, that they may not have the time, ability or inclination to do themselves.
​
So I decided to extend a helping hand, et voila! Here is Ad Hoc VA, Business Support and Lifestyle Management / Personal Concierge services.
​
I have over 23 years experience in administration, office management, PA and process documentation/process improvement. I have a kit full of many skills and experiences which you can check out on my LinkedIn profile.
​
I am based in Whangarei, and as the slogan goes I really do 'Love it Here!' It doesn't matter where in New Zealand or the world you are located, as a 'virtual' assistant I can still take care of your needs from anywhere!
