HR Consultancy for Small and Growing Businesses
Sometimes you don’t need ongoing HR support. You need an expert to come in, get a specific piece of work done properly, and leave, leaving you in a stronger position.
That is what HR consultancy is for. When your internal team doesn’t have the time, the experience or the objectivity to lead a project, we step in. We provide small and growing businesses with expert HR consulting, practical advice and hands-on delivery. We work as independent experts, so you get the outcome you need and the confidence that it’s been done right.
How our HR consultancy can help
Whatever the project, the principle is the same: we bring the expertise, lead the work, and leave you with something that holds up. We start by understanding what you are trying to achieve and what is getting in the way, then we scope the work clearly so you know what is involved, what it will cost and what good looks like before we begin.
This is what many businesses use us for:
HR project management
Restructures, office moves and large recruitment campaigns all carry people risk, and they rarely fit around the day job. Our HR project management leads the people side of major projects from start to finish, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Strategic HR process re-engineering
When growth exposes the cracks, our strategic HR process re-engineering redesigns how HR runs in your business so it can scale with you.
Compensation and benefits design
Get reward wrong and you lose your best people or overspend keeping them. Our compensation and benefits design helps you build pay and benefits that attract, retain and motivate the right talent, without breaking the budget.
Policy and procedure development
Out-of-date or missing policies leave you exposed and your managers guessing. Our HR policies and procedures service creates clear, compliant policies and staff handbooks, fully aligned to your business culture and goals, that protect the business and give everyone a consistent set of rules to work from.
HR systems implementation
The right system takes the admin off your plate, but choosing and rolling one out is a project in itself. Our HR systems implementation helps you select and implement the system that fits the way you work.
Not sure what you need?

Who we work with
HR consulting works best for businesses that have grown too big to handle people issues on the fly, but not big enough to need a full in-house HR team. Our clients include:
Growing businesses scaling fast
When you are growing quickly, HR processes that worked at ten people start to creak at thirty. Whether you are preparing for investment, planning a restructure, or just trying to keep pace with the team you have got, we put the right structure in place before the gaps become problems.
Professional services firms
Solicitors, accountants and consultancies hold their suppliers to the same high standard they hold themselves. We deliver professional, strategic HR consulting for small business and professional firms that matches that standard, with the discretion and expertise the work demands.
Operational leads at scaling businesses
If a people project has landed on your plate and it is bigger than your remit, you need the right partner to lead it alongside you. We are that partner, so you can deliver with confidence and look good doing so.
Why businesses choose us?
- A multi-award-winning HR practice, trusted by UK businesses since 2007
