The real problem
It isn't capability.
It's capacity.
What it's costing you
Every hour you spend rewriting a caption, chasing a supplier or untangling a project is an hour away from the work only you can do. Over a year, it shows up as a feed that went quiet and projects that never quite finished.

Real businesses, real results
A closer look at what working with James & Co. actually involves, from the first plan to the posts that go out every week.

Dee Allen
A consistent voice that positions a pro athlete for sponsorship, and still sounds completely like her.
What's made the biggest difference is that nothing feels forced or inauthentic. My voice is still completely mine. It just finally feels structured and consistent.

JP Oils
Putting a hands-on, family-run supplier in front of the trade buyers who need them.
We've always been busy, but outside the trade nobody really saw what we do. Holly gets the yard, the fleet and the team across properly, and it still sounds like us. We get on with running the business and the posts just go out.

Sullivan Solutions
A full rebrand, from the logo to the guidelines their printers, embroiderers and sign makers work from.
Holly is a Swiss Army Knife of business. Having her and James & Co. behind us as the business grows feels like a secret weapon. We would highly recommend reaching out for any business needs!

Things people usually ask
Anything else, just ask. I'd rather you had the full picture before we speak.
Do you only work with businesses in the North West?
No. I work with businesses wherever they are, across the UK and internationally. Most of the work happens online, through video calls, shared documents and email, so location doesn't get in the way. If you're in the North West, I'm also happy to meet in person.
Do I have to sign up for monthly support?
No. You can keep me on each month, or bring me in for a one-off job such as a content shoot, a risk audit or getting a project back on track.
What happens on the first call?
It's a relaxed 30-minute video call. We talk about where you're stretched and what would actually help. If I'm the right fit, I'll send you a written scope and a fixed price. If I'm not, I'll tell you.
How much does it cost?
Monthly support starts from £400 and one-off work from £250. Each service page shows its starting price, and you'll always have a fixed quote in writing before anything starts.
Can you help with more than one area?
Yes, that's the point of James & Co. Most owners need a bit of marketing, a bit of sales and a bit of structure, and it's easier when one person understands how it all fits together.
Who will I actually work with?
Me. James & Co. is my business, and you deal with me directly from the first call onwards. For larger photo and video shoots I bring in trusted specialists I've worked with before.
What if I'm not sure what I need?
That's completely normal. Book a call, or tick "Not sure yet" on the contact form, and we'll work out together where your time is going and what to fix first.
Meet Holly
One person who knows your business properly.
James & Co. gives you the structure the big consultancies offer, without the layers between you and the person doing the work.
I've managed public health programmes, led quality and compliance work in healthcare that earned the Chief Nurse Medal of Honour, and turned dead stock into revenue for retailers. Now I bring that to owner-run businesses, from my base in the North West to clients across the UK and beyond.
PRINCE2 is the project method developed by the UK government, and ISO 31000 is the international standard for managing risk.
