Can fractional HR Directors support existing HR teams?

Absolutely. We work alongside internal teams and can even ‘twin’ with existing HR leaders to provide wider capability, strengthen processes, manage projects, and ensure compliance or provide interim support when resources are stretched.

How flexible is your support?

Our People Directors typically work one to two days a week and can scale involvement up or down as your business needs change.

What are the benefits of a strategic people plan?

A clear people plan helps you attract, retain, and develop the right talent, improving performance and supporting sustainable growth.

What is fractional HR consultancy?

Fractional HR consultants (People Directors) work part-time within your business to align your people strategy with your growth ambitions, without the cost of a full-time hire.

When should I bring in a fractional HR expert?

We can work with businesses at any stage but if your business is scaling, restructuring, or experiencing culture or capability challenges, a fractional HR Director provides timely strategic guidance and stability.
