She started Vinehouse essential Ltd in 1995, as a management training and consultancy company. 

Nancy was asked to help a client in Australia hire people for his business. The result was the process she developed and honed that now achieves a success rate of over 88% (compared with the average success rate of 25 – 30%). It was developed to work remotely so was ideal for the Covid situation.

Her company, Vinehouse Hiring, now specialises in recruitment and hiring for small to medium sized owner run businesses in the English-speaking world. Vinehouse has clients in US, Canada and Australia as well as the UK and is the only company offering a one-year guarantee on all its hires.
