“When I’m not working you’re likely to find me engaging in my two passions; football and music! I have been a season ticket holder at Cheltenham Town for over 20 years. I also perform as part of an acoustic duo called Stay Tuned so you will see me singing at events around Cirencester as well as running a monthly open mic night at our local pub!”
I work with businesses who want proper HR support without the corporate waffle.
HR can feel complicated, time-consuming and sometimes a bit intimidating if it’s not your area of expertise. My job is to make the people side of your business clearer, calmer and commercially sensible.
I support organisations at all stages, whether you have no HR at all, some basics in place, or you’re growing and need a more strategic approach to your people plans. What I bring is straight-talking, pragmatic HR advice that balances doing the right thing for your people with what makes sense for the business.
I often help when things like this are happening:
• You don’t have internal HR and need someone you can call for advice
• Your business is growing and your people processes need to catch up
• You need help navigating difficult situations like restructures, performance issues or employee relations challenges
• You’re struggling to attract or retain the right people
• Your leadership team could communicate and collaborate better
• You want to be more proactive about culture, engagement and wellbeing
How I work
I support businesses in a way that suits them, including:
✔ Retained HR support – your outsourced HR partner when you don’t need a full-time HR team
✔ Project work – restructures, strategy, policy reviews, culture work and more
✔ Senior HR advice – acting as a trusted sounding board for leadership teams
At the heart of everything I do is building strong relationships and helping businesses get the people stuff right.
