Meet the team

My 30-year career spans the public, private, and charitable sectors, giving me a deep understanding of business operations.

Now, my passion is around supporting neurodivergent entrepreneurs and managers, especially those with ADHD, which led me to found Chapter Business Support.

We'll work together to scaffold your executive functioning skills, focusing on areas like time management, organisation, task initiation, and prioritisation. Many of my clients struggle with feeling overwhelmed, missing deadlines, and constantly putting out fires. I help them develop strategies to create structure, prioritise effectively, and manage their time more efficiently.

What sets Chapter Business Support apart is the integrated action and execution support we provide. My team works directly with clients, offering ongoing practical assistance and accountability to ensure your personalised strategies are implemented and your professional goals are reached.

We also help with client communication, implementing timely processes for responding to enquiries and nurturing relationships, leading to stronger client connections and increased business.

Hi, I’m Jessie, currently working as a support worker at Chapter.

In my role here, I'm deeply involved in day-to-day administrative tasks, supporting our clients to receive the best possible assistance.

Throughout my career, I've been drawn to roles centred around supporting individuals across the neurodivergent spectrum. Whether it's assisting children, young people, or adults; I've found fulfilment in fostering their social interactions and academic progress. Additionally, I've volunteered in settings aimed at opening up employment opportunities and skill development.

This journey has taught me invaluable lessons in flexibility, empathy, and creativity; essential qualities when navigating the complexities of n neurodivergent brains. I'm passionate about championing creative approaches tailored to individual needs, steering away from the 'one-size-fits-all' approach.

Beyond work, I find joy in sewing my own clothes and trying my hand at surfing, especially since relocating to Devon. These hobbies not only provide relaxation but also fuel my creativity and resilience in all aspects of life.

Hi I’m Jessie

Hi I’m Jen

Hello!

I'm Jen, I'm pleased to bring my extensive administrative experience to a role supporting neurodiversity. With over a decade of professional experience spanning contract management, HR, general administration, and diary management. I have a proven track record of organization, efficiency, and adaptability. I've also had the rewarding experience of running my own business, which has further honed my problem-solving and entrepreneurial skills.

My passion for neurodiversity is deeply personal, inspired by my son's journey with ADHD. This experience has fueled my desire to contribute meaningfully to a community that celebrates neurological differences. I'm eager to apply my administrative expertise to support and empower individuals within the neurodiversity spectrum.

Outside of work, I find balance and joy in a variety of hobbies. You might find me playing guitar and singing at local venues, enjoying a ride with my horse, or surfing at my local beach. I love being outdoors and embracing new adventures

What People Are Saying

  • Adrian - Jewelstreet Director

    “Nicola was a trusted HR partner at Board level, during a particularly challenging period of transition. She was always a pleasure to work with, calmness personified, and incredibly helpful with her assistance and ideas. A consummate professional and highly rated by myself and fellow Directors.”

  • Debs - Youth Counselling Services

    Nic's support has truly revolutionised my working life but also my home life too.

    I and my business were drowning in admin and disorganisation and old systems and she stepped in, understood the situation and me, and gently rolled out a load of suggestions that all fitted brilliantly.

    I recommend her constantly and will continue to do so.

  • Kathy - Entrepreneur

    Nicola is excellent. Her organisational and administrative skills are a perfect compliment to my creative business and brain. She understands what I want to achieve and helps me turn ideas into reality. I can outsource various tasks with no concern. Having previously operated solo (control freak?) this is quite a revelation. I highly recommend Chapter 😊

  • Philip - Sales Director

    Nicola has done a fantastic job for us. She is extremely organised and possesses a deep knowledge of systems and processes that have enabled us to change how we run our business operationally. We would have no hesitation in working with Nicola again.

  • Dan - Neurodiversity in Business

    A wonderful experience from a seasoned and experienced professional. Super pro-active and diligent which meant that she was a real self-starter. Would highly recommend
