Synergise HR Consultancy
Strategic HR Leadership for Ambitious Businesses
Senior HR Expertise Without the Full-Time Salary
You've built something impressive. Your business is growing, your team is expanding, and suddenly the people challenges that come with success are taking up more of your time than ever before. You need strategic HR leadership - but you're not ready (or don't need) to invest £80k+ in a full-time HR Director.
That's where I come in.
With over 25 years of strategic HR experience across multiple sectors, I work alongside ambitious business leaders who want to get their people strategy right. Not just compliant - but genuinely driving business performance.
Who This Is For:
Synergise HR Consultancy is designed for established businesses with 50-250 employees who are navigating growth, change, or complex people challenges. You might be:
Scaling rapidly and need to build proper HR infrastructure
Going through organisational change and need expert guidance
Facing complex employee relations issues that require senior expertise
Ready to transform your culture and need someone to lead the way
Building your leadership team and want strategic HR input at board level
What Makes This Different:
I don't just advise from the sidelines. I become part of your leadership team - understanding your business, your culture, and your goals. Whether I'm with you one day a week or three, I bring the same strategic focus and commitment as an in-house HR Director, without the overhead.

HR Project Consultancy
Expert-Led Projects to Solve Specific Challenges
Sometimes you don't need ongoing HR leadership - you need expert help with a specific challenge. Each project is scoped individually with clear deliverables, timelines, and outcomes defined upfront.
What We Work On:
Organisational Restructure
Restructuring is complex and sensitive - legally and emotionally. I guide you through consultation design, role evaluation, redundancy processes (if needed), and implementation to ensure you achieve your objectives while meeting your legal obligations and treating people fairly.
Investment: £5,000 - £15,000
Duration: 2-4 months
Culture Transformation Programme
Culture isn't posters on walls - it's how people behave when no one's watching. This programme covers culture assessment, values definition, engagement strategy, behavioural frameworks, and change management to systematically build the workplace culture that drives performance.
Investment: £8,000 - £20,000
Duration: 6-12 months
Employee Handbook & Policy Suite
Comprehensive, legally compliant documentation that people actually read and use. Includes policy audit, bespoke handbook creation, core and role-specific policies, manager guidance, and implementation support. Written in language your team will understand.
Investment: £3,500 - £6,000
Duration: 4-8 weeks
Talent & Succession Planning Framework
Who steps up when key people move on? This framework covers skills audits, talent identification, development pathways, succession maps, and retention strategy - ensuring you're never caught off guard and always building the capabilities you need.
Investment: £4,000 - £8,000
Duration: 6-10 weeks
HR Systems Implementation
The right HR system transforms how you manage people. The wrong one becomes an expensive headache. I support requirements gathering, vendor evaluation and selection, implementation planning, data migration, and rollout to get it right first time.
Investment: £3,000 - £10,000
Duration: 2-6 months
Learning & Development Strategy
Training for training's sake is wasted money. I help you build strategically-aligned L&D through training needs analysis, framework design, leadership development programmes, and implementation planning - developing your people in ways that deliver business results.
Investment: £4,500 - £9,000
Duration: 6-10weeks
Employment Relations Support
Expert Guidance Through Complex People Issues
When you're facing a difficult employee relations situation, you need expert guidance you can trust. Whether it's a disciplinary issue that's escalating, a grievance that needs investigating, or the prospect of a tribunal, having experienced support can make the difference between a good outcome and a costly mistake.
I provide expert, practical guidance through even the most challenging people issues - helping you navigate the process, protect your business, and achieve the best possible outcome.
Services Include:
Disciplinary and Grievance Investigations
Independent, thorough investigations conducted to the standards that would withstand tribunal scrutiny. I gather evidence, conduct interviews, and provide clear recommendations - either as the investigator or by guiding your internal team through the process.
Performance Management Interventions
When informal approaches haven't worked and you need to formalise performance management, I help you structure the process properly - setting clear expectations, documenting appropriately, and following a fair procedure that protects both the employee and the business.
Redundancy Consultation Processes
Redundancy is never easy, but getting the process wrong makes it worse - and more expensive. I guide you through proper consultation, fair selection, and compliant procedures that meet your legal obligations while treating people with dignity.
Employment Tribunal Preparation and Representation
If a matter escalates to tribunal, I provide comprehensive support - from initial response and case preparation through to representation guidance. My goal is always to help you achieve the best possible outcome, whether that's winning the case or reaching a sensible settlement.
Settlement Agreement Negotiation
Sometimes a clean exit is the best outcome for everyone. I help you navigate settlement discussions, ensuring agreements are properly structured and protect your interests while achieving closure.
TUPE Transfers
Transferring employees in or out of your business under TUPE regulations is complex and risky if handled incorrectly. I guide you through the process, ensuring compliance and smooth transition.
The earlier you involve expert support, the more options you typically have - and the better the outcomes.

Investigation Package

Why Work With Me
25+ Years of Strategic HR Experience
I've led HR at senior levels across multiple sectors, handling everything from rapid growth to complex restructures, culture transformations to difficult tribunals. Whatever you're facing, I've likely seen something similar before.
Embedded Partnership, Not Distant Advice
I don't advise from the sidelines. I get to know your business, your people, and your challenges. When I'm working with you, I'm genuinely part of your team.
Business-Focused, Not HR-Focused
I'm not interested in HR for HR's sake. Everything I do is focused on helping your business perform better through its people. If an HR initiative doesn't serve the business, we don't do it.
Practical and Commercial
I understand that you're running a business, not a charity. My advice is always practical, achievable, and commercially sensible - balancing best practice with business reality.
Straight-Talking Guidance
You won't get HR jargon or evasive answers. I'll tell you clearly what I think, what the risks are, and what I'd recommend - then support you in whatever decision you make.
Ready to Talk?
Every business is different, and I'd love to understand your specific situation before recommending an approach. Whether you know exactly what you need or you'd like to explore what would work best, let's have a conversation.
Book a no-obligation discovery call
to discuss your challenges, explore how I can help, and see if we'd work well together. There's no pressure and no hard sell - just an honest conversation about whether Synergise HR Consultancy is right for you.
