Experienced, organised, and genuinely invested in helping your business and your travels go well.
Most founders don't struggle for lack of ambition. They struggle because the administration, the systems, and the day-to-day operations quietly take over, leaving less and less time for the work that actually moves things forward.
I'm Nike, a Fellow of the Institute of Administration Management with over 15 years of hands-on experience in administrative management, operations, and financial administration. I've worked across start-ups, scale-ups, creative agencies, and international businesses, building systems and providing support that allows founders and leaders to get out of the weeds and back to what they do best.
When I was made redundant in late 2024, I chose to treat it as a deliberate turning point. By early 2025 I had launched two complementary services under one roof: NJ&Co · Business Support, providing strategic and operational support to entrepreneurs and small businesses. The second is NJ&Co Travels, offering independent travel planning for individuals, families, and small groups who want their holiday organised properly.
What connects both is the same thing clients tell me they value most. They get a calm, experienced, and reliable pair of hands who takes full ownership of the task, communicates clearly, and delivers to a high standard without needing to be chased.
These are the words of people who have worked closely with me: managers, finance leads, and engineering directors who trusted me with real operational responsibility.
Nike is a wonderful influence in the office and a true joy to have around. She quickly became a key part of the team. Hard working and dedicated, she is always prepared to take on new challenges.
Nike extended her skills into accounts payable to ensure suppliers were paid on time. She is very professional and accurate with her work. I will not hesitate to recommend her to any organisation.
Nike is an incredibly able and strong professional who can be trusted to deliver. She has a lot of experience managing a busy office environment, from accounts to procurement.
Three examples of client engagements that show the range of problems I've been trusted to solve. Each required a different mix of skills, judgement, and ownership.
A Shanghai-based e-commerce company needed to enter the UK market quickly. That meant forming a compliant UK legal entity, registering with Companies House, HMRC and VAT authorities, opening business banking, and completing marketplace verification on Amazon, TikTok, and eBay — all within a tight window, with cross-cultural communication between UK and Chinese teams running through everything.
The co-founder of a boutique Equality, Diversity & Inclusion consultancy needed a skilled administrator to take on the day-to-day demands of running the business — handling communications, managing the diary, and structuring bid submissions — so he could focus entirely on client delivery and business development.
A Danish-owned gamification business was opening its first UK office, transitioning from a remote-first model to a hybrid team, and expanding rapidly across Europe. They needed someone to build the operational foundation: office policy, compliance, travel and expense frameworks, hiring logistics, and team culture — from scratch, at pace, during a period of significant growth.
You're building something, or running it. The administration is taking time you don't have. Your inbox needs managing. Your processes need structure. Your finances need oversight. You know what the business needs; you just need a dependable person to handle it properly so you can focus on the work only you can do.
Project and task coordination, strategic planning assistance, policy development, health & safety administration, and operational setup for growing businesses.
Diary and calendar management, email handling, document preparation, proofreading, bid and proposal support, and transcription from recordings or notes.
Bookkeeping support (AAT Level 2 qualified), accounts payable, expense management, budget reconciliation, and financial oversight using QuickBooks, Sage, and Oracle EBS.
Recruitment logistics, onboarding coordination, compliance documentation, and HR administration. This covers the people-side of growing a business, handled carefully.
"Good administrative support pays for itself. The question is not whether you can afford it. It is how much time and momentum you are losing without it."
For clients who need reliable, ongoing support, a monthly retainer gives you a pre-agreed block of hours with a fixed budget. Minimum 3-month commitment required.
You know roughly where you want to go. What you do not have is the time (or the patience) to spend ten hours on research, compare fifty hotels, and piece together an itinerary that actually works. You want someone who will take the brief, think it through properly, and come back with a plan you're genuinely excited about.
As a single mother who has planned and managed trips on a real budget, without cutting corners on quality, I understand the decisions that go into making a holiday that actually works for your household. That lived experience shapes how I approach every client's brief.
I bring the same organisation, attention to detail, and clear communication from my business support work to every travel plan I put together. You'll receive a well-researched, clearly laid-out itinerary with honest recommendations. I'll be available to answer questions as you prepare.
There's no AI-generated shortcut here. Every plan is researched and written by me, based on your specific requirements.
Bespoke day-by-day plans built around your interests, pace, and budget. Accommodation, activities, dining, and transport all researched and presented clearly.
Honest comparison of options suited to your budget and preferences, with clear recommendations and the reasoning behind them.
Trips that actually work for mixed ages, different interests, and shared budgets. Solo parent travel planning is a particular area of personal experience.
Itineraries that take accessibility requirements seriously, covering accommodation, transport, venues, and activities.
Every trip is different in scope, duration, and complexity. All quotes are tailored to your specific brief. Get in touch for a no-obligation conversation. There is no commitment required to discuss what you have in mind.
The best way to know whether I'm the right person for your business or your trip is to have a brief, no-pressure conversation. I'm straightforward about what I can offer, and honest if something isn't a good fit.
"Reach out. A short conversation costs nothing and could save you months of figuring it out alone."
Tell me a little about what you need and I'll come back to you within one business day.
Thank you for getting in touch. I'll be back to you within one business day.
