Mel Pretorius

In my former life before becoming a Virtual Assistant, I worked within the financial services industry.  I spent over 10 years in Office Management and Executive Assistant roles supporting teams of between 25 and 50 people.  The wide variety of duties I covered in my roles and skills I gained from running various committees at Thomson Reuters has more than prepared me for the world of the Virtual Assistant.

I love networking, meeting new people and the wide client base that I work with.  I enjoy working onsite one day and then remotely on Social Media the next.  I was a member of BNI (Business Network International) for 18 months and networked with similar-minded professionals which has proved fruitful to the business.

With over 10 years’ experience as a PA, my background stems from Media and Film Production.

I now enjoy supporting clients as a virtual and personal assistant, using my communication skills to have a clear understanding on how we can work well together.
I offer a variety of PA services including financial administration, WordPress content management, personal organisation, travel and Visa assistance.  I particularly enjoy collaborating with the other Red Desk VAs and working on our clients’ Pinterest and Houzz accounts.
