About us
In 2019, Anniek founded her first company in Amsterdam, supporting expats with relocation and helping founders organise and run their business.
The demand for structured, practical support grew quickly.
She later moved to Barcelona to become Head of People & Operations at one of the companies she had worked with. For three years, she helped build and scale a tech company from the ground up, working across people, operations and strategy. In a growing company, that meant stepping into whatever was needed and making sure things got done.
Eventually, the desire to build something of her own returned.
From that experience, The Support Office was created.
Today, we support founders and teams across the Netherlands and Spain, as well as remote companies.
We are a hands-on team that works hard, takes ownership and care about doing things properly.
We grow thoughtfully, with the ambition to expand into other countries over time.
Our Values
Ownership
Clear communication
Working well together
Commitments are taken seriously and trust
is built by delivering.
We value clarity and speak up when needed, so everyone knows where they stand and what’s next.
Respect and openness come first. Strong collaboration leads to better results.
Curiosity and learning
We stay curious, ask questions, and welcome feedback as part of doing good work.
Efficiency
Big picture thinking
We avoid unnecessary complexity. Time and
energy are spent where they have the most impact.
We focus on what actually works. If we’re not the right answer, we help find the right one.
