Straightforward, uncomplicated, HR support for YOUR business.
Whether you have 1 or 21 people in your business, you need an HR person on your team.
That’s me.
Hi. I’m Lucy.
I work with small business owners and charities.
Why?
Because in a better universe, school would have taught us:
How to recruit someone who won’t make you cry.
What to do when your whole team want next Friday off.
How to fire someone without breaking into a stress rash.
Why everyone’s obsessed with “policies” and whether you need one too.
But no. We got “Bunsen burner safety” and “the Battle of Hastings” instead.
So now? I’m the HR person who tells you all the stuff you actually need.
No PowerPoints. No judgement. Usually biscuits.
If people stuff is taking up more space in your brain than it should, drop me an email.
I’ll let you know if I can help, or point you to someone who can.

Know Exactly What to Do.
No waffle. No suits. No judgement. Just clear, calm support that gets you unstuck - fast.
You’ll know what to do, what to say, and what to never put in writing - no more late-night Googling or guessing.
People Problems? Hand Them Over.
Whether it’s hiring, firing or “why is everyone off sick again?”, I’ve got you.
I give you straight answers and help you take action, without the panic so you don’t have to carry the people stuff by yourself any more.
Big Impact, Small Biz Vibes.
I work with people like you: humans running good businesses, not giant corporations.
You’ll get expert HR support that feels like part of your team, not a scary legal department.
I see you.
You didn’t start your business to become a walking HR department.
But somehow you’re spending more time untangling people problems than doing the work you actually love.
You’re tired, confused, and pretty sure “holiday entitlement” shouldn’t involve this much maths.
You’ve got contracts… somewhere in the form of a PDF from 2011 that may have been written by a lawyer… or a very confused wizard.
Someone keeps calling in sick on Mondays and now it’s just, well, awkward.
You hired your first employee. It was a disaster and now you’re terrified of how to get rid of them (or worse, getting sued).
You’re spinning plates, winging it, and quietly hoping no one notices.
Put down that lukewarm coffee - things are about to get a whole lot easier (and way less stressful).
From Overwhelmed to In Control. It all starts here.
No more guessing. No more “what now?” moments. Just clear, confident HR support that lets you focus on what you love - growing your business and leading your team.

The Break Room
Managing people is hard enough without wondering if you’re the only one dealing with weird behaviour, office drama, or that one employee who keeps emailing at 2am. Spoiler: you’re not.
The Break Room is your behind-the-scenes pass to real HR stories, wild-but-true workplace tales, and the comforting knowledge that you are definitely not alone.
Then, once the dust has settled, we follow up with the “what now?”. Practical advice, deeper context, and fresh ideas you can actually use.
You’ll get:
✅ A juicy HR tale in your inbox every other week.
✅ A follow-up email unpacking what’s really going on, with tips, trends and tools you can try.
✅ Free, subscriber-only content that makes HR feel less lonely, and a whole lot more human.
✅ The comfort of “oh thank god, it’s not just me”.
✅ The quiet power of knowing what to do next.
Go on, dive into the stories that’ll make you laugh, learn, and breathe a little easier...

Me in YOUR business
“It also helps that Lucy is a lovely human being, we genuinely enjoy spending time with her.
Lucy comes in regularly and has made a huge difference to how we manage HR. Having that ongoing support has taken a weight off our shoulders and made things so much easier for us as directors.
Lucy makes sure we do what we say we’re going to do and ensures we’re up to date with everything we need to be".
Your favourite HR sidekick.
I’m Lucy, your friendly neighbourhood HR trouble-shooter, chaos tamer and official “people stuff” translator. I’ve been untangling workplace headaches for over a decade (and other cool stuff besides), mostly for small businesses and charities that want real, no-fluff support without the jargon or legalese.
I’ve seen everything from employee holiday disasters to those awkward firing moments and survived to tell the tale (sometimes with a coffee stain or two). My thing? Making HR simple, human, and actually useful, because business owners have better things to do than drown in paperwork or tricky conversations.
Curious how I got here? Step right this way for the story behind my obsession with making HR less scary and maybe a little bit fun.
For HR with more “oooohhh” and less “ARGH!”
“…a few laugh out loud moments too!”
“Pitched perfectly to us and led to greater understanding in the team”.
“There has been a noticeable shift in how we work together”.
“A perfect fit for us”.
“Just a joy to work with from the start to finish”.
Do you want to get in with the only HR work on the internet that is run by me?
I know you do. But if you’ve got questions, I’ve got answers.
