HR consultancy approach
My Mission
I partner with SME owners to provide practical, people-first HR support – whether you’re growing, steady, or facing one of those tough people decisions that comes with running a business.
HR can feel like a minefield. From day-to-day people issues to complex and sensitive situations, it’s not always clear what the right next step is. That’s where I come in. I work alongside you to bring clarity, confidence, and calm, helping you navigate challenges while staying compliant, fair, and true to your values.
Together, we’ll strengthen what’s already working, address what’s holding you back, and put clear, supportive frameworks in place. In practice, this can include reviewing and updating policies, supporting difficult conversations and decision-making, improving engagement, developing managers’ people skills, and introducing systems that make HR simpler and more effective.
My role isn’t to overcomplicate HR – it’s to guide and support you through it, so you can focus on running your business knowing your people matters are in safe hands. Whether you’re at the very beginning and want a steady hand to guide you, or you’re established and ready for more tailored support, I’m here to work alongside you.

What my clients say…
‘I had the pleasure of working with Lesley when she stepped in as an HR consultant during a period when we had a gap in our HR team. From day one, she was outstanding – knowledgeable, approachable, and quick to get things under control. Lesley took care of the HR headaches straight away, which allowed me to focus on running the operation. She brought great energy, experience, and calm to the team, and made a real difference from the moment she arrived. I’d highly recommend her to any business looking for strong, hands-on HR support.’
Cephas, Operations Manager
‘Outstanding font of knowledge in all personnel matters and HR best practices. An extremely supportive and highly valued HR partner, approaching all challenges in a personable and empathetic manner, she builds rapport with ease in all professional relationships…helping build strategic milestones to achieve business goals.’
Eifion, Director of IT
‘It is no understatement that Lesley provided first class HR service to myself and others. Lesley holds vast knowledge within the HR domain that is only outclassed by her people skills. From organisational restructure support to recruitment, Lesley has your back, and will be a powerful asset to any organisation needing HR support . Highly recommended!.’
Mick, EHS Director Global
‘Her ability to combine sound technical knowledge with clear, practical advice made a real difference. Particularly, rather than focusing just on process or compliance, she also combined this with broader strategic thinking and advice alongside a genuine interest in the matters involved, to help guide an approach from both a business and individual perspective. Her guidance was thoughtful, commercially aware, and backed up with real-world HR experience.’
Oliver, Vice President Legal
‘Lesley is a motivated, driven, and engaging HR professional. She communicates with clarity and empathy, builds strong relationships across all levels, and consistently brings energy and professionalism to her work. Her ability to connect with people and foster a positive culture makes her a valuable asset to any team. I highly recommend her.’
Jason, General Manager
‘Her professionalism, dedication to mentoring, and collaborative approach make her an exceptional asset to any professional network. I am truly grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone seeking guidance in the HR space or beyond.’
