Who we work with
We help ambitious SMEs at every level, from hands-on everyday HR management to strategic advice and support.
The businesses we support
All businesses face HR challenges at different stages of their growth. Whether you’re building your first HR foundations, strengthening a small team or reshaping your culture for the future, we’ll tailor our approach to meet you where you are:
Growing businesses without HR teams
As a small but ambitious business owner with ten or more employees, you’ve reached that tricky size where your good intentions aren’t enough anymore. You need proper HR foundations, contracts that protect you, policies that work and systems that will scale. Most importantly, you need an HR partner who understands that every pound you spend on HR must deliver value.
Established SMEs needing expert backup
As your business recruits more employees, you might have an in-house HR manager or a small team, but they can’t do everything. When changes to employment law, restructures, redundancies or strategic planning issues arise, they need senior support. We’re the HR partner that can handle the tricky stuff, mentor your HR team, and provide the big picture thinking that shapes your people strategy.
Ambitious companies wanting transformation
Size isn’t everything. You might have grown to 15 or 50 employees, but you know your approach to HR needs to change. Perhaps you’re shifting from reactive firefighting to proactive planning. Maybe you’re restructuring, evolving your culture or preparing for rapid growth. You need an experienced HR partner who’s guided businesses through similar transformations and can show you what good looks like.
Who we support
Our HR support doesn’t look the same for everyone. Whether you’re an in-house HR professional in need of a sounding board or a business owner needing strategic advice and support, we can adapt our role to give you the right level of expertise and reassurance, without duplicating what you already have:
For business owners & MDs
We provide ongoing, proactive, executive-level HR support and expertise that protects you from expensive mistakes and ensures your people decisions support your business goals.
For HR managers & teams
