Trust, Travel and Teamwork

As the founder of a busy and growing business, people often ask how I manage to travel as much as I do. The answer isn’t really about time management or planning (though those help). It’s about trust.

Because when you trust your team, everything changes.

At Virteffic, we’ve built a culture based on autonomy, accountability and mutual support. I don’t need to be in the office watching over every detail. I know the team will take ownership, keep things moving, and continue delivering to the high standards our clients expect, whether I’m working from home, heading to a meeting, or travelling abroad.

Travel has a way of testing your systems, and showing you what’s really working.

When I step away, I see the strength of what we’ve built: a team that communicates clearly, backs each other up, and gets things done. That level of trust doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time, openness and a shared commitment to doing things well.

But once it’s there, it creates freedom for everyone.

Empowered teams don’t need to be micromanaged.

They need clarity, confidence and the space to do their best work. That’s exactly what we aim for at Virteffic. Whether someone is running client meetings, managing priorities or keeping internal projects on track, they know they’re trusted to take responsibility.

And in return, that trust is met with flexibility, respect and opportunities to grow.

This isn’t just about travel. It’s about leadership.

It’s about stepping back to create space for others to step forward. It’s about building a business that works because of the people in it—not just the person leading it.

So yes, I’m proud that I can travel.

But I’m even prouder of the team that makes it possible—and the culture of trust and teamwork that underpins everything we do.

All the best
Tess

The Story behind Virteffic

Virteffic Limited, launched in 2020 with a clear vision—to create a flexible and sustainable work-life model that benefits both professionals and businesses. We specialise in providing high-quality secretarial and governance support, combining professionalism with a culture that values growth, independence, and innovation. Since our launch, we have made significant strides in promoting work-life balance, attracting top talent, and enhancing operational efficiency for our clients through tailored solutions.

In the Channel Islands, recruitment challenges and rising childcare costs often create barriers to workforce participation. Virteffic is helping to change this by redefining traditional ways of working. Our approach prioritises employee wellbeing, offering flexible opportunities that go beyond the constraints of conventional office hours. This model has attracted experienced professionals with regulatory expertise, particularly from the finance sector, adding significant value to our team.

The result is a positive and adaptable work environment that not only empowers our people but also delivers outstanding service to our clients. At Virteffic, we firmly believe that embracing diverse workstyles leads to higher morale, stronger collaboration, and greater success for everyone involved.
