When people challenges threaten to derail your growth, you need more than just HR solutions – you need a strategic partner who understands what it takes to scale a growing business.

Meet Emily

With over 20 years of HR experience, I've helped hundreds of growing business leaders transform their most complex people challenges into clear, manageable solutions. My expertise lies in working with businesses of up to 50 employees – where I've developed deep insights into the unique pressures of scaling whilst maintaining your unique vision and values.

A Strategic Partnership Approach

I founded The People Consultancy because I witnessed too many passionate and committed business owners becoming overwhelmed by the people management side of their business. Whether it's sleepless nights over performance issues, anxiety about handling disciplinaries, or stress about protecting your business – I've been there, and I know how to guide you through it.
