I provide outsourced HR support for SMEs that need reliable, practical advice without the cost of employing a full in-house HR professional. My support is designed to help you deal with day-to-day people matters, reduce risk and make sound decisions with confidence.

For many small businesses, HR issues build up quickly and take time away from running the business. I give you access to senior, independent HR support grounded in CIPD best practice, the ACAS Code and UK employment law, so you can deal with issues early and properly rather than react once they become more costly or disruptive.My approach combines strong employment law knowledge with hands-on operational experience. I understand the realities of busy, fast-paced environments, and tailor my support to be proportionate, commercially aware, and easy to apply.

Whether you need guidance on a complex employee issue or consistent support to strengthen your overall people approach, I offer flexible expertise that works alongside your business.


This service is for small businesses and growing SMEs that do not have in-house HR, have limited internal HR capacity, or want experienced external support for people matters. It suits employers who want straightforward advice, clear boundaries and practical support they can use in the real world.
I provide independent, evidence-based HR advice that helps you make fair, proportionate and well-informed decisions. I do not overcomplicate issues, and I focus on practical steps that are right for your business and workable for your managers.
I believe good HR support should bring clarity, not confusion. That means understanding the facts, identifying the risks, and helping you move forward with a clear plan, clear documentation and a process that stands up to scrutiny.
I also work with transparency from the outset. Before work begins, I confirm scope, fees and timescales in writing, so you know what support you are receiving and what to expect from me at each stage.

Once you get in touch, I will ask for the key background information and any relevant documents so I can understand the issue properly. I then confirm the scope of support, fees, risks and likely timescales in writing, so you know exactly what is included before work begins.

My support is independent and tailored to the stage you are at, whether you need one-off advice, a fixed-fee piece of work or ongoing support. You can expect practical guidance, documentation and a calm, proportionate approach that helps you move things forward.
