Cardiff professional firms, Swansea trades and Gwynedd tourism operators get the same person every day, without a local office.
What do Wales businesses use a virtual assistant for?
Wales keeps a standard UK working day, and our UK shift wraps around it from 8am to 6pm so early calls from builders and late calls from clients are both picked up. The business mix runs from Cardiff, with public bodies, financial services, media production and a strong legal sector, through the Swansea Bay area and its manufacturing and university work, to North Wales where Deeside factories, agriculture and tourism dominate. Pembrokeshire and Eryri bring seasonal hospitality with sharp summer peaks. Buyers in Wales ask for telephone answering that is friendly rather than scripted, diary management for solicitors and consultants, call handling for lettings and holiday parks, and inbox management for owner-managed firms who cannot get to email until the evening. Many also want to know how we handle Welsh-language callers. Our assistants answer in English; a Welsh greeting on your voicemail or a scripted bilingual opener can be discussed at the discovery call and confirmed before launch. Assistants train on Welsh place names and postcode areas so nothing is mispronounced or misfiled.

GMT/BST
- Welsh working day, 8am to 6pm
Your assistant is online from 8am to 6pm, the same window a Cardiff office or a Wrexham workshop keeps, following UK clock changes and UK bank holidays.
- After 6pm
The after-hours desk takes over at close, answers in your name, books urgent jobs and texts the on-call person, which suits holiday parks and trades who take evening enquiries.
- Second office in Pakistan
Assistants work from the group's offices, 4 to 5 hours ahead of Wales, so a Welsh morning shift is daytime work for them and coverage stays steady all year.

What rules apply to outbound calls and data in Wales?
AssistBPO makes outbound calls, texts and emails in Wales only with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing. The 3 rules below are the ones that decide what that means locally.
PECR with TPS and CTPS screening
Welsh businesses are covered by PECR like the rest of the UK. Before any unsolicited marketing call we screen against the Telephone Preference Service and the Corporate TPS, and we only dial with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing. The ICO, which has a Wales office in Cardiff, enforces these rules.
UK GDPR and Welsh Language duties
UK GDPR applies to every Welsh firm, and we process data under a written agreement with the international transfer addendum. Public bodies in Wales also carry Welsh Language Standards; if you serve such bodies, tell us so scripts and written replies respect their requirements.
Ofcom persistent-misuse rules
Ofcom limits silent and abandoned calls and requires an accurate caller ID. We show your Welsh number, dial manually and play a recording notice on any recorded line.
Not legal advice; see the compliance page.
Which industries do we serve in Wales?
AssistBPO staffs desks across 5 sectors of the Wales economy, and each one asks a desk to do something different.
Legal
Cardiff and Swansea solicitors use our assistants for new-enquiry intake, conveyancing updates and court diary management.
Hospitality and holiday parks
Coastal operators in Pembrokeshire and Gwynedd want summer bookings answered every time and reviews handled off-season.
Trades and home services
Plumbers, roofers and electricians across the valleys get calls answered while on site and quotes chased the same day.
Accounting firms
Practices around Cardiff and Newport hand us client onboarding paperwork, deadline reminders and phone cover in January.
Manufacturing and food producers
Deeside and Bridgend factories use assistants for supplier admin, order acknowledgements and inbox triage for plant managers.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Wales?
No. AssistBPO has no office in Wales. We are the virtual assistant division of SS Support Network LLC, registered in Vancouver, Washington, with a second office in Pakistan. Your assistant works Welsh business hours from the group's offices, answers on a UK number with your area code and is a salaried member of our staff. A backup assistant learns your account alongside them, and a team lead scores calls each month.
Can you answer calls in Welsh?
Our assistants answer in English. Many Welsh businesses are happy with an English-speaking receptionist who pronounces place names and surnames correctly, and we train for that. If you need a Welsh greeting on the voicemail or a scripted bilingual opener before the call moves to English, raise it at the discovery call and we will confirm what we can support before launch. We will not promise fluent Welsh call handling we cannot staff.
What does it cost to hire a virtual PA in Wales?
Plans depend on hours, desks and coverage. Get a staffing plan within 1 business day. The plan lists the hours you want covered, the desks involved, such as front desk and executive admin, and any evening or weekend cover. UK-based PA agencies commonly publish hourly rates in the £25 to £45 range (Report sources, 2026), so most Welsh firms find a managed remote assistant on a full shift a very different budget conversation.
How quickly can a Welsh business get started?
We follow the same process everywhere: a discovery call, then a named assistant proposed within 72 hours. Onboarding covers your greeting, FAQs, transfer rules, diary access and tools, and usually takes a week of shadowing before the assistant goes live. A backup assistant trains at the same time, so holidays and sick days are covered from day one, and you receive an end-of-day report from the first shift.
Which tools do Welsh clients typically connect?
Most Welsh firms run Microsoft 365 for email and diaries and Xero for invoicing, so those are usually connected first. Trades add Jobber or a similar job sheet system, professional firms add a CRM such as HubSpot, and phone lines come through RingCentral or your existing provider with a UK number. Access is granted at least-privilege level and removed when a project ends.
