What size businesses do you support?
I can work with small and growing businesses, established organisations and regulated employers. The scope of support is tailored to your size, internal capacity and the people issues involved.
Do I need a monthly contract?
No. You can speak to me about an individual issue, a defined project, training or ongoing retained HR support. The best arrangement depends on what your business actually needs.
Can you handle an independent workplace investigation?
I can offer structured, impartial fact-finding support subject to conflicts, scope and appropriate terms. I will agree the remit, process and deliverables before work begins.
Can you help with disciplinaries, grievances and sickness absence?
Yes. These are key areas of my experience. I can provide practical case guidance, documentation and manager support, with specialist legal referral where needed.
Do you offer temporary recruitment?
My initial recruitment offering is for permanent appointments only. I do not advertise temporary agency staffing services.
Can you help with equality, inclusion and reasonable adjustments?
Yes. I offer HR-focused policy, manager training, recruitment and people-process support to help embed fairer, inclusive practices.
Do you provide GDPR legal advice or cybersecurity testing?
No. I provide HR information governance and data-handling process support. Formal legal opinions, statutory DPO responsibilities and technical cybersecurity services require appropriately qualified specialists.
Where are you based?
I am based in East Yorkshire and can discuss support for organisations across the UK, including remote and agreed on-site services.
How are your fees calculated?
Fees depend on scope, complexity, timescales and whether you need a one-off project, retained arrangement, recruitment service or training. I will provide a clear proposal before an engagement starts.
How will you handle confidential information?
I aim to agree suitable confidentiality and information-sharing arrangements before sensitive case information is exchanged. Please do not send sensitive employee data through the initial public contact form.
Could I help your business with this?
Tell me what you need. I’ll reply personally to discuss the next steps.
