About Smallbizbod

My name is Sarah and I created Smallbizbod on the back of 30+ years’ experience in business support roles within a variety of industries. I’m passionate about helping business owners to get the best out of their time, and thrive on solving problems and creating order out of chaos.

I’ve achieved qualifications in Business Administration, Bookkeeping & Accounts, and Project Management, and am a skilled Bid Manager and Excel geek!

I live in Derby with my husband, children, cats and snake, and when I’m not working I enjoy reading, walking and swimming, and have been researching my family tree for almost three decades.
