What is Specialist HR support?

Specialist HR support gives your business access to senior highly experienced HR expertise. Typically delivered to resolve a specific issue or project (such as a dispute, independent investigation, restructure, performance issues, recruitment campaigns), or on a retained basis, 1-2 days per week/month as needed, providing both strategic leadership and hands-on support.

Do I need HR support if I’m a small business?

Yes - in fact, smaller and growing businesses often benefit the most from HR support.

Without clear HR structures, policies and guidance, small issues can quickly become costly problems. Whether it’s handling an employee concern, putting contracts in place, or managing performance, having expert support ensures you’re doing things correctly from the start.

Early HR input helps you:
- Avoid legal risks
- Save time and management stress
- Build a stronger, more motivated team
- Create a solid foundation for growth

Can you help with employee disputes?

Absolutely. This is one of my core areas of expertise.

I support businesses with:
- Workplace disputes
- Grievances and disciplinaries
- Employee complaints
- Independent investigations
- Mediation and resolution strategies

I take a calm, professional and structured approach - helping you resolve issues fairly, protect your business, and maintain trust within your team. My goal is always to find the best outcome for both the business and the individuals involved.

Do you work on-site or remotely?

I offer complete flexibility. Support can be delivered:
- On-site at your business
- Remotely via video, phone and email
- Or a combination of both

Many clients benefit from a hybrid approach - with regular on-site presence combined with ongoing remote support. This ensures you always have access to expert guidance when you need it.

What industries do you work with?

I work with a wide range of start-ups, SMEs and growing businesses across multiple sectors.

My experience in large organisations means I bring proven HR frameworks and commercial insight, which we then tailor specifically to your business, regardless of industry.

How quickly can you start?

I understand that many HR challenges are time-sensitive.

Following your initial free consultation, I can usually begin supporting your business very quickly - particularly if you’re dealing with urgent employee issues or need immediate guidance.

I prioritise practical, responsive support so you’re never left dealing with complex situations alone.
