Come and join the conversation with Maya Vertigans, Founder of Planner Bee VA 🐝 ‎@PlannerBeeVAServices 

Maya is based in Aberdeen, is 24 years old and the founder of a Virtual Assistant business with a particular niche for working with Sustainable & Ethical brands.

Literally what she has achieved at such a young age is nothing short of incredible! Maya chats to me about her early experiences selling Avon for her Mum, and she was but by the Entrepreneurial bug!

Lacking in inspiration and role models in business during her time at school, Maya knew instinctively that having her own business was the way she wanted to go. She went to university and then during lockdown launched her own sustainable gifting business!

Alongside this business Maya tells me of how she organically found herself undertaking some VA work from some connections she'd made along the way!

We chat about her passion for sustainability, it was very much woven into her gifting business anyway, it seemed the perfect time to launch her own VA agency concentrating on sustainable and ethical businesses.

Maya explains the kind of services that Planner Bee VA offer, and we delve into the pressure that they can take off business owners when they join them as a client.

As women in business we talk about the overwhelm that comes with the day to day running of a company and the unbelieveable help that Planner Bee VA offers!

Maya already has a team which is insane!!! And to top it off she has been named as one of 20 of The Most Inspiring Scottish Business Women! We chat about the imposter syndrome that comes along with being recognised in such a way, and the feelings that accompany such an accolade.

Determined to inspire the next generation of schoolgirls to start their own businesses, Maya recently returned to her old school to share her journey, which she credits as one of her biggest highlights to date (how amazing is this!)

We chat in depth about Net Zero, her goals for future certification as a service provider, it's honestly so interesting to hear about how it all works and the ethics behind it! Maya tells me about her future plans for the business, which include expansion, becoming a One Stop Shop and becoming a B-Corp too.

Such an interesting conversation with such a driven and inspiring woman, she remains with her feet firmly on the ground despite her incredible successes in such a short space of time and at such a young age!

Thankyou Maya for an amazing chat and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for you and your fantastic business!
