What I actually do
Here’s what you can bring me in for.
Strategic and project work first, core HR underneath it. You’ll usually work with me directly. Behind me is a small team of trusted advisors, so bigger projects get the capacity they need.
02
HR Projects and Change
Restructures, your first HR system, engagement surveys, pay and benefits benchmarking, talent and succession planning, and leadership or management training built around your team.
03
Employee Relations and Investigations
Grievances, disciplinaries, appeals and investigations handled calmly, quickly and on the right legal footing.
04
Core HR Support
Contracts, policies, employment law questions and the day-to-day advice that keeps everything else steady.

Just need the basics for your first or next hire? The New Starter Package is a one-off, fixed-price package covering a contract, core policies and an onboarding checklist.
Who I work with
You need more than an extra pair of hands.
You’re running a growing business and things are on the move: hiring, restructuring, maybe your first big people challenge.
You don’t need a full-time HR director, but you’ve (politely) outgrown winging it.
You want someone senior, commercially minded and calm, who gets your business and actually picks up the phone.
I’m your strategic HR partner, whether that’s ongoing, for a project, or on the end of the phone when things get complicated. I think like a business owner, not an HR administrator.
Who I don’t work with
Let’s save us both some time.
You’re after the cheapest HR templates on the internet. Totally fair, but that’s not me.
You want someone to rubber-stamp decisions you’ve already made. I’ll always tell you honestly what I think.
You see HR as a cost to keep as low as possible, rather than an investment in your people and your growth. We probably won’t be a great match.
My favourite clients genuinely want to get this right, and are happy to invest in doing it properly.
How it works
Simple, calm, and no surprises.
Step 1
We talk
Grab a call with me. Tell me what’s going on and we’ll see if I’m the right person to help, or know someone who is. No pitch, promise.
Step 2
I diagnose
I take a proper look at what you’ve got, what’s missing, and where the risks and opportunities are.
Step 3
We fix it together
Ongoing partnership, a one-off project, or stepping in when something’s urgent. I build the plan with you, then roll my sleeves up and help you deliver it.
What clients say
Calm, trusted and in your corner.
Calm, trusted and straight-talking. The words clients use most when they describe working with me.
