About

Gillian Hi, my name is Gillian Slater, owner and founder of Bushmills Virtual Assistance. I have 20 years’ Personal Assistance experience (working the last 5 years as an Executive Assistant to a College Principal in England, UK). Bushmills Virtual Assistance is an innovative business providing administrative services from a home office in Cochrane, Canada and was created following my desire to assist businesses again after I’d got over the shock of becoming a first-time Mum!

Mission Statement - Bushmills Virtual Assistance: A professional, friendly business offering virtual access to a reliable and efficient Personal Assistant committed to the provision of complete customer satisfaction.

What Is A VA?

"A Virtual Assistant (VA) is a highly-trained independent entrepreneur who provides a myriad of business support services virtually via phone, fax and internet based technology to support and meet the growing needs of businesses worldwide.

Partnering with a VA reduces stress, protects cash flow, eliminates administrative hassles, and enables business people to find the success they originally set out to achieve.

A VA is your right hand person helping you to succeed in your business. The irony is you may never meet your VA as odds are they live nowhere near you!"
