Our Story

Small but perfectly formed, Jannaway Freelancing is a family affair. 

Rachel Jannaway - Founder, Director and Business Consultant (the brains)

Jonathan Jannaway - Long suffering husband and from 1 January 2024 Director providing additional back office support and board level challenge (the brawn).  Jonathan is a self-employed HGV driver who has been running his own business since 2015.

Pippa-dog and Minnie-dog - Barketing and Therapy Team (our 2 labradors and the best four legged friends)

The company was formed by Rachel Jannaway, who has over 20 years experience as a consultant and delivery lead in learning and development, change and transformation, project management and process improvement. A member of the Project Management Institute, she holds BA (Hons) Business Administration, NVQ Level 4 in Learning and Development, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and PRINCE2 Agile Practitioner qualifications.

Jannaway Freelancing was born out of a desire to help people see the benefits of change and innovation in their organisations.

Change is one of the only certainties in life and can feel scary as you step out into the unknown. 

Our ethos is to empower and enable others to embrace change with positivity and confidence.  

  

We are part of our community. We are a small business.  We support other small businesses.  

Partnerships and collaboration are a key part of our way of working. 

We are members of the Federation of Small Businesses, Oxford STEM Network, Project Management Institute, Barclay's Eagle Labs, Reloop, The Alliance and Business Women In.
