Why us?

Building Relationships, Not Just Policies

It’s simple really. Just like you do, your business has its own personality. We aren’t going to tell you off or put you in HR prison for doing things your way. If you need to keep hold of some star employees or want to shake things up, we’ll guide you through. From writing your first ever contract to impressive inclusion projects and those trickier conversations, we’ll be by your side.

 Changing HR’s Reputation

We've heard the stories about "bad HR" too. It's time for a change. We're your trusted advisors, not the Work Police. Nothing turns us off more than a bad vibe. We’ll never encourage you to micromanage, watch what time your employees arrive and go home or write a passive aggressive note about washing up in the kitchen. Gross.

 Leave HR Hassle to Us, Focus on Business

 Let us handle the policies, data, and the regulatory headaches so you can focus on what truly matters - growing your business. It’s like we’re your backstage crew, making sure everything runs smoothly while you take centre stage (then we’ll join you for a duet).

 Confidence in Complexity

 No HR challenge is too daunting for us. We've seen it all. Office affairs, thefts, fires, dogs on the loose… you name it, we’ve dealt with it. Whether it's navigating employee disputes, re-writing your boring policies to make them reflect you a bit more, or ensuring you stay on the right side of the law, we've got you covered.

 Innovation in Every Interaction

We’re committed to challenging you to be better. Be the amazing employer you’d want to work for, not the one your staff go home and complain about.

Executive Succession Reviews

Confident decisions for your organisation’s future

The transition of a CEO or senior leader is one of the most important moments in an organisation’s life. Get it right, and you set the business up for long-term success. Get it wrong, and the risks can be felt for years.

That’s where our Executive Succession Reviews come in.

We provide independent, evidence-based assessments of your leadership team so you can decide with confidence whether you have a future leader already in the business, or whether it’s time to look externally.

What We Do

_Define the success profile
We work with your Board to understand your future priorities and translate these into the specific skills, experience, and leadership qualities needed in your next CEO or senior leader.

_Assess your executives
Using a blend of psychometric tools, structured interviews, and skills mapping, we build a rounded view of each executive’s strengths, leadership style, and potential for future growth.

_Compare and clarify
We provide clear profiles, a skills and leadership matrix, and a succession readiness “heatmap” so you can see exactly where your talent stands.

_Deliver clear recommendations
We give the Board an independent recommendation: do you have a successor in-house, or should you prepare to run an external search?

Why It Matters

_Objective insight – We bring independence and rigour to what can otherwise be a political or emotional decision.

_Clarity & confidence – The Board receives evidence, not guesswork, to guide a high-stakes choice.

_Future-proofing – Even if no one is ready now, we’ll map development plans to strengthen your leadership pipeline.

How It Works

_Discovery and success profile creation

_Executive assessments (psychometrics, interviews, stakeholder feedback)

_Skills and leadership matrix

_Succession report & Board presentation

Typical timeline: 8–10 weeks.
