About Sandy
Hello! I’m Sandy
I’m the founder of Sandy Nash Admin Support. I provide practical support to businesses, charities, organisations and individuals. This might mean business administration, financial services support, WordPress websites, digital work or table tennis projects.
My story
From financial services to a flexible business of my own
Sandy Nash Admin Support launched in 2014, although my career in administration and financial services began back in 1995. I later launched sandynash.com during 2020’s Lockdown 1.0 as the business developed in new directions.
Over more than 30 years, I have worked with independent financial advisers, solicitors and accountancy firms. My roles have covered general administration, training, compliance, financial advice and investment management, giving me a practical understanding of both detailed back-office work and the people it supports.
Today I support small businesses, financial-services firms, charities, organisations and individuals with the work that needs doing—freeing their time for the parts of their business or life that they enjoy or do best.
If a project includes work outside my own skillset, I may recommend involving someone with the right specialist knowledge. I will always tell you first, and you will be able to speak directly with that person where appropriate.
Professional reassurance: Established in 2014, Sandy Nash Admin Support is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and protected by £1 million Professional Indemnity insurance with Hiscox, arranged through PolicyBee.
How I work
Flexible help, built around what you need
That might mean organising a project, improving a process, editing and formatting documents, working with spreadsheets and records, updating a website, building an easy-to-manage WordPress site or helping someone use AI confidently and sensibly.
Every client is different, so the support is tailored too. You may need help with one small task, a defined project or ongoing work across several areas.
Outside the office
Table tennis: playing, coaching, officiating and administration
Table tennis has been part of my life since I began playing at age nine or ten.
I first became involved in coaching while studying at the University of Sussex in the late 1980s and requalified as a Table Tennis England coach in 2017.
I now coach weekly Parkinson’s-friendly groups in Enfield and Harlow. I also help with beginner sessions for primary school children and lead coaching for the Hertfordshire county junior squad. I enjoy the contrast between introducing young players to the sport and supporting adults to remain active and connected through table tennis.
I am a county-level player, qualified national umpire, referee and tournament organiser, as well as Co-Chair of the recently formed Parkinson’s England Table Tennis (PETT).
Committee and administrative roles have also been an important part of my involvement in the sport. Until recently, I held a variety of committee roles at a London club, including around ten years as its social media officer. I was also County General Secretary of the Hertfordshire Table Tennis Association for about six years and a member of Table Tennis England’s Members’ Advisory Group. The group contributed strategic advice to the Board and gave me invaluable experience at national level in governance, consultation and how decisions are made. These roles help me understand the practical administration and communications support that clubs, leagues, counties and associations often need.
Testimonials
Kind words from clients and participants
A selection of feedback from people and organisations I have supported over the years.
Sandy started working with me as an administrator back in 1995. We worked together again more recently, and Sandy worked on a number of projects for my current financial-services firm. I would recommend her for a wide range of business projects. I consider her trustworthy and hardworking and have no hesitation in sending more work her way in future.
We were always more than satisfied with Sandy’s level of commitment, ability to work on her own initiative and her hard work. Sandy was well respected by clients, always regarding their best interests as paramount. Her record keeping and files were of a consistently excellent standard.
I have no hesitation in commending Sandy to you as a diligent worker who would be able to make a valuable contribution to any organisation.
Please do feel that you can give either Nikki or my name to any prospective employer … and rest assured that we shall give you very glowing testimonials. Very good luck and please do keep in touch.
We have always found Sandy to be honest, punctual, efficient, diligent and a very valuable member of the team. We would have no hesitation in recommending her.
Sandy stepped in at short notice in a time of need. She gave significant support to both our organisations and helped us overcome problems. We always enjoyed a very constructive working relationship with Sandy, and she was a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Sandy.
Thank you so much for everything you have done for us. We very much appreciate your work, support and professionalism.
I would also add that my sister, Penny, has been very pleased with the advice and help she has received from Sandy, so many thanks for pointing her in that direction.
You made him feel so welcome. He was himself again, not someone with Parkinson’s. You gave Dad a new lease of life. He really loved coming to your sessions.
