Tailored HR & People Pricing – Transparent. Fair. Just Right for Your Business.

We’re not a traditional HR business. We’re proud to offer a unique blend of award-winning, affordable HR Services for small businesses and SMEs, HR Training, Recruitment, People Development Solutions and Coaching designed to help your business grow. Choosing to partner with us means gaining access to a wealth of expertise across diverse sectors and industries. We stand out by offering personalised support tailored to your unique business objectives, whether you're looking to scale, divest, or invest. Our commitment is to deliver the best advice and innovative solutions that truly align with your needs, ensuring that your business thrives in today's competitive landscape.

Many Heads of HR, HR Directors, and Chief People Officers choose to partner with us to outsource various functions and enhance their existing HR capabilities. We act as a virtual team member, providing valuable support to busy HR and People teams when they need it most.

Our team consists of CIPD-qualified experts with extensive HR, leadership, and people experience. We bring a wealth of knowledge and skills to the table, particularly beneficial when an independent, unbiased perspective is required, whether for case management, employee relations, training, or people development. Smaller HR teams, often consisting of just one or two members, may find themselves in need of additional support for specific projects or ongoing initiatives.

Whatever your requirements, we can tailor our services to meet your needs. We have extensive experience in managing TUPE transfers, redundancy programmes, mergers and acquisitions, system implementations, training, wellbeing initiatives, and people development, among other areas. By collaborating with us, you can enhance your HR function and ensure that your team operates at its highest potential.

All our monthly HR retainers includes UNLIMITED HR advice & support, giving you access to a real human being when you need it most! We offer both remote and in-person assistance to suit your preferences.

Each retainer option give you access to at least monthly 121 meetings with us to discuss the latest trends in HR, upcoming changes in employment legislation and any relevant developments in the workplace. We provide the most legally up-to-date documentation while ensuring it remains innovative.

Additionally, we include an HR health check to help you get started on the right foot. You'll also receive regular news alerts containing updates on HR practices and employment legislation, keeping you informed and ahead of the curve.

Choosing not to partner with us (or an equivalent top-rated HR & People partner) poses significant risks for your business. Without access to fully qualified HR and People experts, you may find yourself navigating complex employment issues alone, which can lead to costly legal troubles and unnecessary complications.

As a business owner or company director, the absence of expert guidance increases the likelihood of being on the wrong side of the law, resulting in potentially endless hours and expenses to resolve issues that could have been avoided. The costs associated with employment tribunals are rising, with high compensation amounts for successful claims. Additionally, the constantly evolving landscape of employment legislation, guidelines, and best practices requires vigilant monitoring to stay compliant.

A simple phone call or meeting with us can help prevent these issues and potential litigation from employees. We also work with you to foster strong team dynamics, enhance employee engagement, boost morale, and maintain harmonious relationships within your workforce. Acting as your in-house Head of HR, HR Director, or Chief People Officer, we prioritise your business interests, fostering compliance with the law and adherence to ACAS guidelines and best practices.

While our competitors may be larger and more established, that often means sacrificing the personal touch and partnership aspect of service.

Plus, we ensure all materials align with your branding guidelines, fostering a sense of identity among your employees that reflects your company values and the culture you're building.

Even with fewer than 50 employees, having effective HR support is crucial for your business. It helps establish a solid foundation for growth, ensuring compliance with employment laws and regulations. HR can also foster a positive workplace culture, improve employee engagement, and streamline processes such as recruitment and onboarding. By investing in HR, you can focus on your core business activities while minimising risks associated with legal issues and employee management. Ultimately, strong HR practices can enhance productivity and contribute to your long-term success.
