From SME to PLC, from the assembly line to the bottom line, whether employer or employee, I have you covered.

Change with care: compliance, compassion and clarity

No organisation stands still.  Growth, restructuring, mergers, and acquisitions are part of modern business life.  While change is often necessary, it’s also one of the toughest times for any organisation — especially when people are at its core.

 

Successful transformation requires more than ticking compliance boxes.  It calls for planning, communication, and genuine engagement so employees understand, accept, and support the direction of change.

 

Drawing on cross-sector experience, I can help you balance business need with human impact – managing change in a way that is both compliant and compassionate.

 

Support includes:

 

  • Due diligence – assessing workforce structures, risks, and obligations ahead of change
  • Consultation processes – ensuring communication is transparent and legally sound
  • Selection and redeployment – managing fair, defensible selection in and out of the organisation
  • Alignment of terms and conditions – harmonising employment arrangements post-merger or acquisition
  • Employee wellbeing and engagement – maintaining trust, morale, and productivity during uncertainty

Conflict to clarity: practical people solutions

When workplace challenges arise, having clear, objective guidance can make all the difference.  I provide practical, balanced advice to help you understand the facts, identify your options, and take confident next steps before issues escalate – saving you time, stress and unnecessary cost.

 

Employees – if you’re facing workplace challenges – from dismissal or restructuring to conflict or grievance – I’ll help you make sense of your situation, clarify your rights and responsibilities, review your options, and plan next steps with confidence.

 

Employers – managing people can be one of the hardest parts of running a business.  I can help you prevent small issues becoming major problems by offering straightforward advice on performance, conduct, grievance, and risk – ensuring your decisions are fair, compliant and strategically sound.

Executive edge: trusted, thoughtful counsel

It can be lonely at the top.  Senior executives often face complex, sensitive, and high-stakes decisions where confidentiality, objectivity, and trust are essential.  Having access to an independent, experienced HR professional provides the perspective and assurance to lead with confidence.

 

Drawing on experience supporting Boards and executive teams, and as a non-executive director and trustee I bring both governance awareness and hands-on HR expertise to help you navigate people challenges while maintaining integrity and focus.

 

Support includes:

 

  • Acting as a confidential sounding board for strategic or sensitive decisions
  • Managing or investigating complex employee relations issues at senior level
  • Acting as an intermediary in executive exits to achieve fair dignified outcomes
  • Providing independent challenge and perspective to support executive leadership and sound decision-making

Three values lie at the heart of my business:

- COLLABORATION: None of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things with great love. And together we can do something wonderful.
(Mother Teresa)
- INTEGRITY: Doing the right thing even when no one is looking.
