HR Consulting Services for Growing Businesses

A retained HR support service gives you consistent, expert HR input without the cost of a full-time hire. I function as an extension of your leadership team — on hand for day-to-day questions, strategic input, and the moments that matter most, especially during periods of rapid headcount growth. 

Established contact hours for HR advice by phone, email, or video call. Monthly HR health checks to catch issues before they escalate. Proactive updates on employment law changes relevant to your business. On-site visits and leadership briefings as needed. 

Fast-growing businesses often outgrow their HR processes before anyone notices — a policy written for 10 people rarely holds up at 50. Consistent retained support means small issues get caught early, before they become costly. 

When workplace issues arise — and they will — how you handle them defines your culture. We offer expert, impartial guidance on disciplinaries, grievances, performance management, and restructures. 

Support with disciplinary and grievance investigations. Performance improvement plan design as well as absence management, guidance on redundancy, restructure, and TUPE and mediation and conflict resolution. 

Poorly handled employee relations erode trust and create legal exposure. Getting expert guidance early turns difficult conversations into resolutions — protecting both your business and your culture as you scale. 

Employment law is complex and constantly evolving — and hard to keep pace with when your business is doubling in size. We ensure your contracts, handbooks, and workplace policies are legally sound, clearly written, and current. 

Bespoke contracts of employment and offer letters. Employee handbooks, reviewed annually as your business changes. GDPR-compliant data handling policies tailored to your business. Support with right-to-work checks and IR35 compliance — increasingly relevant as teams grow and hiring models diversify. 

Outdated or missing documentation is one of the leading causes of employment tribunal claims. Robust, current policies are your first line of defence — and they signal to employees, investors, and future hires that you take this seriously. 

Great hiring is about more than filling a vacancy — and when you're scaling fast, the pressure to hire quickly can work against you. We help you build a recruitment process that's rigorous, welcoming, and built for speed without cutting corners. 

Job design and role profiling. Salary benchmarking. Job descriptions and advert copywriting. Candidate sourcing and screening. Interview design. Offer management and onboarding documentation. 

A mis-hire can cost, on average, three times the role's annual salary once you factor in lost productivity, management time, and re-recruitment — a cost that compounds quickly when you're hiring at pace. 

Your people are your competitive advantage — but fast growth often means promoting people into management before they're ready. We design practical training that builds real confidence, fast. 

Management and leadership skills workshops, with a focus on first-time managers. Structured induction and onboarding programmes, Performance review and feedback training, Equality, diversity, and inclusion awareness sessions, and Individual development planning. 

Employees who feel invested in are far more likely to stay and perform well — and in a competitive tech hiring market, retention is often cheaper than replacement.
