Hana Gray, Founder of The Office Management Portal and Black and White Consultancy

Hana Gray is a specialist office and facilities management consultant with over 15 years’ experience; she founded Black & White Office Consultancy in 2016 and a unique online resource, The Office Management Portal in 2017. Hana has worked for companies that include JP Morgan, RBS, City Index & Berenberg as the Office / Facilities Manager managing teams of up to 10 staff and managing all aspects of the office to include Health & Safety, Procurement, Reception, Business Continuity, Facilities, IT, Events and more. Hana now helps businesses to review their office running, making improvements through on-the-job training, project management & support and health & safety consulting – all with a view to providing a return on investment to the client by upskilling anyone in-house responsible for these areas. The communities of Assistants that have appeared inspired her to create this and the community is going from strength to strength with an Awards for Office Managers and and exhibition event planned for the future. Hana and I talk about her passions in life, managing and growing such an incredible space for people to connect and watching it flourish and develop into friendships and collaborations between peers. Hana’s energy and passion for what she does is so clear and I was grateful that she spoke to me about her work in this episode. I was really struck by the need for such a space given than Office Managers are often in a business alone in their role. The opportunity to share resources and share their experiences and challenges was exactly what Hana wanted for her own career but it didn’t exist. Until she created it. As so many Assistants are working in hybrid roles, this episode is really fascinating as Hana really understands peoples need for community and I really loved speaking with her about her career and what she has built.
