Are inefficient systems, scattered tools and manual processes slowing your business down?
Most growing businesses reach a point where spreadsheets, disconnected apps and ad-hoc workflows start costing real time and money. I help small to medium size businesses replace that chaos with clear, scalable operational systems that are built to fit the way you actually work.
As a ClickUp Qualified Solutions Partner (the highest recognition available for ClickUp Consultants, evaluated directly by ClickUp's own team) on top of being a ClickUp Verified Expert, with 15+ years of experience in business systems, operations and project management, I don't just set up tools. I design end-to-end operational systems that give your team clarity, accountability and room to grow. I am Monday Certified Expert as well.
⭐️What I Build For You:
🔧Custom ClickUp & Systems Architecture
Workspaces designed around your actual business, not copy-paste templates. Multi-space structures, custom workflows, dashboards and reporting built for your team's reality.
🔧Workflow Automation & Integrations
Automate approvals, handoffs, onboarding, and reporting using ClickUp-native automations plus Make and Zapier. I also integrate with tools like QuickBooks, Xero, DocuSign, Pipedrive and Slack, so your entire operation runs from one connected hub.
🔧Process Optimisation & SOPs
I map your existing workflows, eliminate bottlenecks, and document clear Standard Operating Procedures so your team knows exactly what to do without chasing you for answers.
🔧Team Training & Onboarding
Your system only works if your team uses it. I design adoption plans and run hands-on training for remote, hybrid, and in-office teams so ClickUp becomes second nature, fast.
🔧Ongoing Support & Optimisation
Many clients keep me on retainer to evolve their systems as the business grows, troubleshoot issues, and continuously improve performance.
⭐️What my Clients Achieved working with Me:
👥SYDRC: Replaced Excel and legacy CRM tools with 11 custom boards, automated workflows and mirrored data, saving 20+ hours per week and unlocking advanced analytics

🌟What My Clients Say:
"Working with Hina is a pleasure. She understood my needs and carried out the work in a timely manner. She also provided weekly updates to make sure the communication was ongoing. I would give her more than a 10 if I could."
- Vanessa Besack, Founder, BraveHope Partners
"I recently had the pleasure of working with Hina and I must say, the service provided was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, Hina went above and beyond to ensure that all my needs were met and that the entire process was as smooth and stress-free as possible. The level of professionalism and expertise Hina demonstrated was truly impressive. She took the time to understand our specific requirements, offering tailored advice and innovative solutions that far exceeded my expectations."

I help businesses turn complex sustainability requirements into practical plans, strategies and deliverables they can actually use.
I'm an award-winning sustainability consultant with more than 20 years' experience working with global brands, SMEs and start-ups across the UK, Europe, US and Australasia. Before founding GB Sustainability, I held senior corporate responsibility roles with ALDI in the UK and Australia, worked in responsible retail at The Co-operative Group, and gained earlier experience in sustainability consultancy.
My work includes carbon footprints, Scope 3, Net Zero and Carbon Reduction Plans, EPR and packaging compliance, B Corp, sustainability strategy and ESG assessments. I also work across materiality, stakeholder engagement, responsible sourcing, circular economy, sustainability reporting and sustainability communications.
Whether you need to understand a new requirement, assess where your business currently stands or build a practical roadmap, I can help you work out what matters and what to do next.
Clients typically bring me in when they need to:
• Understand a complex sustainability requirement or problem;
• Assess where their business currently stands;
• Develop a practical sustainability, carbon or Net Zero strategy;
• Turn data and analysis into a clear roadmap or deliverable; or
• Get an experienced independent perspective on sustainability work.
Having worked both inside major businesses and as an independent consultant, I understand the technical side of sustainability as well as the practical realities of implementing it inside a business.
I work independently, communicate clearly and focus on producing practical work that helps clients make better decisions and move forward.
If you have a sustainability challenge and aren't yet sure what the right approach looks like, send me a message and tell me what you're trying to achieve.
