Our services

HR support for every stage of the employee journey.

Pick the help you need today, or hand the whole HR function to us. Every service is delivered with clear advice, fixed fees and a named adviser who knows your business.

01

Employment contracts & documentation

Compliant, easy-to-read contracts of employment, offer letters and statements of particulars that reflect how your business really operates. We make sure the essentials (notice, hours, pay, restrictive covenants and probation) are watertight and fair.

02

Policies & staff handbooks

A clear handbook sets expectations and protects you when issues arise. We build bespoke policies covering absence, conduct, disciplinary, grievance, equality, family leave, IT and more, and keep them current as the law changes.

03

Employment law advice

Day-to-day guidance on UK employment legislation, from working time and holiday pay to discrimination, dismissal and settlement. We explain your options, the risks of each, and recommend a sensible way forward.

04

Recruitment & onboarding

Attract and keep the right people. We help with job descriptions, fair and compliant selection, right-to-work checks, offer documentation and structured onboarding that gets new starters productive faster.

05

Disciplinary & grievance

When conduct or complaints arise, process matters. We guide you through investigations, hearings and appeals in line with the Acas Code, keeping things fair, consistent and properly documented.

06

Performance & capability

Appraisal frameworks, objective setting, probation reviews and capability procedures that turn underperformance into improvement, or manage a fair exit where it can't be resolved.

07

Absence & wellbeing

Practical management of short and long-term absence, return-to-work planning, occupational health referrals and reasonable adjustments, balancing compassion with the needs of the business.

08

Redundancy & restructuring

Support to plan and run fair redundancy and restructure exercises: selection criteria, consultation, timelines and paperwork, helping you reduce risk and treat people with dignity.

09

TUPE transfers

Guidance through the transfer of staff when buying, selling or outsourcing: due diligence, employee liability information, consultation duties and measures, so transfers run smoothly.

10

Manager training & coaching

Confident managers prevent problems. We deliver practical training and one-to-one coaching on difficult conversations, appraisals, absence and the basics of employment law.

11

HR audits & health checks

A thorough review of your contracts, policies and practices to spot gaps and risks before they become costly, with a prioritised, plain-English action plan.

12

Ongoing HR retainer

For businesses that want HR off their plate entirely: unlimited advice, document updates and a dedicated adviser on call, your outsourced HR department for a predictable monthly fee.

Common questions

Good to know before we start.

Do I need to commit to a long contract?

No. You can use us for a single project, on a pay-as-you-go basis, or on a rolling monthly retainer. There are no long tie-in periods, and we'll always agree scope and cost before any work starts.

We're a small business, are we too small for HR support?

Not at all. Much of our work is with small and growing employers who don't have an in-house HR team. Getting the basics right early (contracts, policies and fair processes) is exactly where we add the most value.

Can you help with a problem that's already happening?

Yes. We regularly step in mid-situation (a grievance, a disciplinary, a difficult exit), assess where things stand and help you move forward fairly and lawfully. The sooner we're involved, the more options you usually have.

Are you a law firm?

We are an HR consultancy. We provide practical HR and employment guidance and prepare HR documentation. Where a matter needs formal legal representation (for example, defending an employment tribunal claim), we'll tell you clearly and can work alongside your solicitors.

Do you work outside Birmingham?

Yes. We're based in Birmingham but support clients across the UK. Most advice is delivered by phone, video and email, and we can attend in person where it genuinely helps.
