Our Services

Whether you need an occasional sounding board, ongoing HR partnership or help with a specific project, we have a way to work together that fits.

WORKING WITH US

1. HR Retainer

A fixed monthly fee for ongoing HR partnership. Best for businesses that want a go-to HR person on call without hiring in-house.

2. Ad-hoc HR advice

Hourly support for the moments you need a quick answer or a second opinion. No commitment.

3. Project retainers

A bespoke agreement for a specific piece of work — for example, drafting an employee handbook, running an investigation or rolling out a new policy.

Quick, reliable answers to your HR questions — by email, Teams or phone. Ideal for owners and managers who want a sounding board before making a decision.

3. EMPLOYEE RELATIONS & CASEWORK

Hands-on support with absence management, disciplinaries, grievances and workplace investigations — keeping you compliant and protecting the business at every step.

4. HR & EMPLOYMENT LAW GUIDANCE
