Jan (she/her) was a musician for 20 years before moving sideways into arts administration. Moving through Opera and Ballet management into radio production for the BBC, and finishing off with a short spell at English National Opera, she started her own arts administration business in 1998.

As the administration work had gradually dropped off in favour of accounting services, she has built up a solid portfolio of clients, particularly in the dance world, and has been working with Akram Khan Company since 2003.
