Our Story
Access Virtual Staffing is rooted in the unwavering commitment to excellence and people-centric leadership exemplified by our founder, Phil Wardell. Together with his wife Lisa, Phil previously launched Access Insurance Underwriting, LLC, a venture that quickly became a beacon of small business success in the insurance industry. Their relentless pursuit of innovation and quality led them to explore new avenues for growth, which brought them to the shores of the Philippines.
During this transformative journey, Phil discovered a wealth of talent among Filipino professionals. Recognizing the potential of these offshore workers, he embraced a new business model that revolutionized his approach to staffing. He believed in not just hiring people but in nurturing and empowering them.
“Our people are the heart of our success. When you genuinely care for your employees and invest in their well-being, they respond with unparalleled dedication and excellence. I place my trust in them, not just because of their skills, but because I believe in their potential to achieve greatness.”
