About HDHR

I believe HR should support people while protecting the business — and that it is possible to do both.

​I work in a grounded, commercially aware way, helping organisations do the right thing, in the right way, at the right time — bringing calm, measured judgement to people matters without overcomplicating them.

​

I have extensive experience across highly operational environments, including transport and engineering SMEs. I understand the realities of running people-heavy, highly operational businesses — balancing compliance, performance, and day-to-day pressures. The support I provide is therefore practical, straightforward and works in the real world.

​

My career has been spent in standalone HR roles, often as the only HR presence in the business, working closely with owners and senior leaders. In my most recent role within a precision engineering SME, I supported the business through a period of significant growth, with headcount increasing by over 80% across three years. 

Through HDHR, I work with small and medium-sized businesses across a range of sectors, providing ongoing HR guidance, employee relations expertise and practical support for managers. I act as a trusted partner, offering senior-level HR input without the cost of an in-house function.​
