What I do

I am a passionate advocate of working from home

having done so for over 20 years, both running my own businesses and as a home-based business adviser. I believe home working is a way forward for many of our current problems, economic, environmental and relating to lifestyle, and I am committed to helping both individuals and organisations make home-based working as satisfying, productive and profitable as it can be.

On this site you will find a variety of resources to help you achieve this, including comprehensive information on coworking and Jelly, developments that I believe have many exciting possibilities for freelancers, home workers and small businesses.

Work from home workshops

I run How to Work from Home – The Inside Guide, monthly evening meet-ups for home workers, freelancers and people who work alone. We meet at Central, the new workspace in Bloomsbury, London. How to Work from Home is a friendly gathering where home workers can meet others and talk about their experiences of home working, both good and bad.

It’s amazing how just knowing other people share your own challenges can lighten them! We often have guests well-known in the field of home and mobile working and small business, who share their own stories and tips. Check out the next How to Work from Home on my Work from Home Events page.

Work from Home Audit

You can chat to me for 30 or 60 minutes on the Work from Home Audit, to review how well home working is going for you at present and talk through options to make it better for your own circumstances. People move forward at surprising speed after an Audit chat.

Home working and coworking expertise

Contact me if you are looking to help employees adjust to working from home more often. I can help them to quickly overcome the challenges of living and working in the same place and advise on how coworking aids motivation and productivity.
