My HR background covers a variety of organisations, large and small, voluntary sector, NHS and private sector. My time working in small organisations is where I’ve picked up a better understanding of all parts of a business from IT to operational challenges and budgets. 

I have taken something from most of my previous job roles, from the challenges of a call centre to large multi site operations with centralised HR teams. Along the way, I have learnt that I am too commercial for the public sector and that I love to get things done (mix of Belbin Completer Finisher and Coordinator styles).

All of this has led to my focus on delivering projects, working with HR Leaders to move their function from simply being an overhead / central cost to making a positive impact in their organisation. And with having just me in the business, I have the flexibility and agility to deliver a bespoke service to each and every client.

My vision is to provide clients with a safe pair of hands to tick those projects off their HR wish list, giving them more time and team resources to deliver quality HR for their organisation.

I have also reached a time in my career where I wanted to use my HR skills and experience for something other than just profits. So, along side delivering projects that add value to organisations, HR teams and employees generally, I also spend time volunteering my skills - previously for Suited for Success, on the Employment Advisory Board at HMP Onley and providing support to charities via The Cranfield Trust.

Do you charge for a consultation?

No, there is no charge for an initial consultation about your HR project needs.

Will you work on our site or remotely?

I can work in any location and will be flexible depending on your requirements and those of the project work we agree.

Do I need to supply anything (IT etc)?

You will need to supply work space for when I work at your site and access to your internal systems relevant to the project I am delivering. I can, however, use the CG Pro-Active HR IT equipment if you can supply the remote access means.

How much do you charge for projects?

My charges will vary depending on the requirements of the project I am delivering for you. I will discuss specific charges as part of our initial discussions or a more formal quote.

As part of delivering your project, I may need to pass on travel and other relevant expenses, these would always be agreed with you in advance if this is the case.

Once my charges are confirmed with you, I may ask for a percentage of the charges to be paid up front and the remainder on completion. For some lengthy projects, we may instead discuss and agree staged payments during the project, usually based on completion of agreed milestones.   

Are we tied in to a long contract with you or is there a minimum contract period?

There are no ongoing contract terms when you engage CG Pro-Active HR and no lengthy tie-in. I will agree likely timescales and commitments prior to starting a project for your organisation, and keep you updated if this might change.

You can view the standard contract terms here.

Are you CIPD qualified?

Yes, I gained my level 7 equivalent CIPD qualification some years ago and have recently gained my Chartered CIPD status. In addition, I have qualifications in delivering training, agile project management, Equality & Diversity and DSE assessment, and have over 20 years’ generalist HR and payroll experience.

What insurance cover do you have in place

I have professional indemnity insurance in place to cover all HR work delivered.

Who else have you worked with?

I have worked with a variety of clients in many industries, from a digital University to engineering firms and manufacturing to housing organisations. You can find out more throughout my website as case studies.
