FRACTIONAL AND INTERIM HUMAN RESOURCES SOLUTIONS FOR UK AND INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS
Project delivery, interim contracts, organisational redesign, M&A integrations
Strategy, planning and delivery with measurable impact
I am an experienced HR leader who combines strategic insight with hands‑on delivery. I have led HR functions across various sectors, specialising in interim and fractional HR leadership, business partnering, complex restructures, M&A and culture change.
Deep experience in TUPE and acquisition integrations, including leading a TUPE project for an acquisition managed by a London law firm.
I have a proven track-record in organisational design, redundancy programmes and manager capability development.
I offer a pragmatic, people‑centred approach that balances commercial priorities with fair process.
I lead with a focus on clarity, integrity and measurable outcomes — bringing calm, commercial judgement to high‑pressure people situations.

What I do
Senior HR capability delivered flexibly to suit the needs of your business
Interim
Full‑time, hands‑on HR leadership for 3–12 months to cover vacancies or deliver critical projects.
Fractional
On-going senior HR leadership on a monthly retainer, typically 1–2 days per week, with a three‑month initial term.
Projects
Deliver or lead HR tailored programmes and projects from end to end: Strategy, planning and execution, which can be selected as a whole or individual phases.
How we can work together
HR Health Check: Fixed fee, two weeks
A focused review that gives a clear, independent snapshot of your HR function. You receive a concise diagnostic, priority risks and quick‑win actions, plus a 30‑minute debrief with me and a one‑page summary you can share with stakeholders — whether or not we work together afterwards.
Fractional: 1-2 days a week, monthly retainer
Ongoing senior HR leadership on a monthly retainer (typically 1–2 days per week) with a three‑month initial term. I will act as your part‑time HR Director: setting strategy, coaching managers, overseeing policy and delivering steady progress without a permanent hire.
Interim: full-time, 3–12 months
Full‑time, hands‑on HR leadership for 3–12 months to cover vacancies or lead critical projects. I will step in to run day‑to‑day people operations, deliver restructures, manage projects and ensure continuity until a permanent solution is in place.
Not sure which solution is best? That's what the first call is for.
Who I work with
I work globally with senior leaders, boards and business owners who require a senior HR practitioner to lead the people side of change. My clients are united by a need for fast, experienced, discreet HR leadership that balances legal rigour with commercial reality.
Typical client profiles
- Founder‑led SMEs and privately-owned businesses — owners who want strategic HR direction and practical people‑management without the cost or commitment of a permanent HR director.
- Scale‑ups and high‑growth businesses — leadership teams expanding headcount, entering new markets or professionalising people processes during rapid growth.
- Professional services and advisory firms — partners and practice leaders requiring confidential, compliant TUPE and post‑deal integration support during acquisitions or transfers.
- Corporate divisions and business units — heads of function who need interim cover while recruiting a permanent leader or require a senior practitioner to run a time‑bound programme.
- Not‑for‑profit and membership organisations — boards and CXOs seeking values‑aligned, pragmatic HR leadership for restructures, governance reviews or capability building.
- Private equity and portfolio companies — portfolio CXOs and operating partners needing short‑term, delivery‑focused HR leadership through transactions, carve‑outs or turnaround work.
